Enactus Morocco Launches ‘Green Forward' Program to Boost Green Transition
Rabat – Enactus Morocco has unveiled the 'Green Forward' program aimed at strengthening organizations that support green businesses.
As part of its commitment to accelerate Morocco's shift toward sustainability, this EU-funded initiative hopes to supply business support organizations with the required tools to help micro, small, and medium enterprises adopt environmentally friendly practices.
The program is set to tackle challenges these support structures currently face, including limited resources, difficult access to green financing, and the need for better organization to provide effective assistance to businesses transitioning to sustainability.
'Green Forward will provide essential resources and create a framework that allows support organizations to better guide small businesses through ecological transition,' said a statement from Enactus Morocco, which is implementing the program in partnership with international NGO SPARK.
The initiative focuses on four key areas. It is poised to enhance the capabilities of business support organizations, developing practical tools and tailored training. It also hopes to create a platform for networking opportunities between different stakeholders, as well as draft policy recommendations to integrate green economy principles into public policy.
Morocco isn't alone in this effort. Green Forward is part of a broader initiative spanning seven countries in the Southern Neighborhood region, including Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia, all working toward promoting a green and circular economy.
