Project Description

The Diversity4Morocco II project aligns with IFC’s “Roadmap 2030 on Gender and Inclusion” by implementing a scalable and ambitious design with strong mainstreaming support to IFC Industry Departments. The project will partner with business associations and regional investment centers to hold learning events for SME-sized employers in the regions, improving their knowledge on gender inclusion. It will also deliver capacity building and implementation support to employers in urban economic hubs like Casablanca through the Peer Learning Platform (PLP) with CGEM and other partners, enhancing their ability to hire, retain, and promote women in the workforce. Additionally, the project will support five companies in assessing gender gaps, developing and implementing company-wide action plans, and obtaining Gender EDGE Certification, ultimately improving workplace conditions and company performance.
