Jesko Hentschel, World Bank Maghreb Country Director stated that Morocco’s future social and economic trajectory is based on its ability to improve its ability to accelerate progress in accumulating human capital and its equitable distribution. The WB funding will facilitate access to quality ECD services for rural populations. Lack of access to quality early childhood development programs and limited exposure to services focused on nutrition, health, and early cognitive stimulation has restricted development among children in Morocco’s rural areas.
