The European Institute for Cooperation and Development (IECD) is a recognized public utility association, which intervenes in the fields of education, entrepreneurship and access to employment through training for the most vulnerable people. IECD implements more than 60 projects in 15 countries, 4 geographical zones (Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar and South-East Asia) allowing action to be taken with more than 30 beneficiaries.
Since 2014, IECD Morocco has been committed to supporting young Moroccans in vulnerable situations in several regions of Morocco, including Casablanca-Settat, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra, Tangier-Tétouan-AlHoceima and Marrakech-Safi. In close collaboration with our operational partners, we operate in two key areas: Training & Professional Integration and Entrepreneurship.
We offer personalized support to positively transform the lives of these young people in vulnerable situations, thus helping to shape their educational and professional future.
Morocco recently faced a devastating earthquake measuring 7 on the Richter scale, which occurred on September 8. With more than 2 dead, 900 injured, and particularly affecting the province of AlHaouz, reconstruction is a major imperative for Morocco, and to support victim families in rebuilding their lives.
It is in this context that IECD Morocco is committed to contributing to the reconstruction and launches the economic recovery project “Avenir Better for Entrepreneurship and Local Learning” (AMEAL). It consists of relaunching the preschool life of children and the economic activities of their affected mothers and entrepreneurial fathers, thus strengthening their resilience and promoting their growth. The project is implemented with Care Morocco, the latter focuses on the rehabilitation of children's preschool life, while IECD Morocco is dedicated to reviving the entrepreneurial activities of parents. This integrated approach aims to rebuild both education and livelihoods, ensuring a full recovery of impacted communities.
