Morocco launches pilot phase of Gender Lens program

The Moroccan Ministry of Finance has launched the pilot phase of the program Gender Lens, a strategic initiative aimed at promoting women's financial and business inclusion.

This initial phase is being implemented in the Souss-Massa region, in collaboration with Tamwilcom, the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), and various institutional and territorial actors.

The objective of this operation is to identify economic structures that meet the criteria of the Gender Lens program, offer them a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, mentoring, training, financial education, and access to financing, and assess inclusive initiatives and local practices that promote social and economic transformation.
