Washington — A new World Bank project will help increase employment in Morocco by matching vocational skills and higher education systems with the needs of the labor market. A second project will strengthen the justice sector to deliver efficient and transparent services to citizens and businesses. The $100 million First Skills and Employment Development Policy Loan (DPL) and the $15.8 million Justice Sector Reform Investment loan were approved today by the World Bank's Board of Directors.

"The World Bank, through financial and technical support, will help the Moroccan authorities achieve tangible results on the ground. Rising to the employment and justice challenges is key to ensuring social and economic prosperity."
