Project context

Morocco is facing a multitude of economic challenges, so scaling up collaboration skills among relevant partners is essential for the region in order to find innovative solutions. Together with GIZ Morocco, CLI conducted a tailor-made training for stakeholders engaged in promoting micro-enterprises and access to financial education. The stakeholders providing these offers are working in parallel and often in competing constellations, resulting in overlaps and gaps in the needed support.  As a result of CLIs unique, trust-building approach, a first comprehensive overview of existing initiatives among the stakeholders was drawn up and provided the necessary clarity to jointly develop two new initiatives to provide better access to financial education.

Stakeholders

27 stakeholders from public administration, local NGOs, and the private sector

Outcome

A joint vision for supporting micro-sized enterprises has been developed. More effective and coordinated access to financial education has been provided. A first comprehensive overview of existing initiatives among the stakeholders was drawn up and provided the clarity to jointly develop two new initiatives to provide better access to financial education: an online platform streamlines, synchronizes, and clarifies the existing offer for support on financial education. A new education kit streamlines and combines training material that already exists. Ownership, transparency, and credibility of the initiative provided the necessary components of a successful and sustainable support system.
