【 摘 要 】

This Country Partnership Framework (CPF)for Morocco for the period FY2019-24 has the overarchinggoal of contributing to social cohesion by improving theconditions for growth and job creation and reducing socialand territorial disparities. Prepared collaboratively byIBRD, IFC and MIGA, the CPF translates the recommendationsof the SCD and the Country Private Sector Diagnostic (CPSD)into an integrated World Bank Group (WBG) engagement. TheCPF is aligned with the objectives of the Government’sProgram and Medium-Term Strategy 2017-21. It is alsoconsistent with the third phase (2019-23) of theGovernment’s National Initiative for Human Development(INDH), which focuses on strengthening human capital throughimproved education, healthcare and social protection, and onenhancing youth economic inclusion. Opportunities for youthare at the center of the CPF.The CPF responds to Morocco’sambition to successfully navigate this crucial point in itshistory. To achieve its objective of contributing to socialcohesion and reducing social and territorial disparities,this CPF pursues three strategic focus areas: (A) PromotingJob Creation by the Private Sector; (B) Strengthening HumanCapital; and (C) Promoting Inclusive and ResilientTerritorial Development. Governance and Citizen Engagementare the foundational principles of the CPF, and Gender andDigital Technology are cross-cutting themes.Strong countryownership and demand are important determinants of thespecific activities included in the CPF program. The firstthree years of the program have been defined jointly withthe Government. The program supports the shift to a newdevelopment model, based on a scenario of deep and sustainedstructural reforms to increase productivity gains withspecial attention to innovation, market contestability andunleashing private sector potential.Under this scenario,Morocco would be able to maintain a relatively high rate ofeconomic growth and economic convergence with more developedcountries while preserving macroeconomic stability. Theother two possible scenarios: voluntary growth-orientedpolicies without productivity-enhancing reforms or thepursuit of current macroeconomic and structural policieswould respectively lead to large macroeconomic imbalances ora disappointing growth performance.
