2017 marks a special year for USAID in Morocco: 60 years of fruitful partnership. Since 1957, the United States has placed Morocco at the heart of its foreign diplomacy. Throughout this proud shared history, the American people, through USAID, have invested in the human, economic, and institutional development in Morocco. Hand in hand with the people and government of Morocco, we have achieved major milestones.

Today, our team remains at the forefront of sustainable progress by leveraging innovative local solutions to address Morocco’s development priorities. Every month in 2017, we will celebrate our past and present successes in a specific sector: from civil society engagement, to agriculture, to youth opportunity. Looking back on how much we have achieved, I remain convinced that the best is still yet to come.

Here’s to 60 more years of collaboration, partnership, and prosperity!
