Client:
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)

Date:

Background: The destruction of natural resources, air and water pollution in urban agglomerations, obsolete industrial plants, and uncontrolled sewage and waste disposal are slowing down Morocco’s development. Although companies that are geared towards exports must adapt to international environmental standards, governmental organizations and the private sector are still not working together efficiently to develop and implement norms and standards. On the national level, as on the local level, considerable shortcomings persist in the drafting and implementation of environmental policy and environmental law.

Objectives and Results: Together with the GIZ, eusg contributed to the 2012 objective: Enabling Morocco to draw on an effective, comprehensive regulatory framework for environmental law and technology. Therefore GIZ staff, consultants and Moroccan partners were trained in EIDOS Software to improve their skills in scenario analysis, strategy development and decision-making.
