Project context

CLI has partnered with the GIZ PROMET program in Morocco to enhance support services for entrepreneurs in the Marrakech-Safi region. As one of Morocco’s economic powerhouses, the region hosts a diverse range of public and private institutions offering services such as seed funding, business plan development, and investment opportunities. However, this vibrant support ecosystem suffers from a lack of coordination, resulting in service gaps, redundancies, and unrealized potential to effectively support entrepreneurs.

Outcome
