The empowerment of women strengthens resilience and ensures the sustainability of Morocco, underlined, on Friday in Skhirat, the Minister of Economy and Finance, Nadia Fettah.
Speaking during a ceremony held in honor of women’s civil servants in her department, on the occasion of International Women’s Rights Day, Ms. Fettah reaffirmed that “the active participation of women in social life constitutes a fundamental lever of progress and prosperity and that the empowerment of women strengthens the resilience and the sustainability of the nation”.
In this sense, she indicated that this conviction encourages the ministry to constantly renew its commitment to better inclusion of women in all of its initiatives and programs.
At the same time, it highlighted the concrete advances of the ministry, thanks to innovative actions intended to promote female leadership and to consolidate the skills of women.
Ms. Fettah, moreover, congratulated herself with the work accomplished by all the women’s officials, welcoming their commitment and their dedication in favor of the success of the key projects of the ministry. Building on this vision, the minister recalled that her department launched, in partnership with the World Bank, a strategic initiative promoting the economic inclusion of women as a lever for growth and equality. And to continue: “This project reflects our vision of giving priority to the empowerment of Moroccan women and aims to achieve a real transformation of their economic and social role”.
In this wake, she mentioned the implementation of an ambitious project in cooperation with women aimed at developing training for women in the ministry, through the improvement of the existing offer and the proposal of programs in line with their professional needs. In addition, the ceremony was marked by the coronation of the winners of the “Woman of Merit” prize in the “honor” and “hope” categories, which aims to encourage creativity and excellence among employees. Thus, several women who have distinguished themselves by their professional career and their determination to meet the challenges have been honored, in recognition of their commitment, their perseverance and their remarkable contribution within the ministry.
The “creative woman” category has also seen the consecration of four officials, rewarded in various fields such as plastic arts, literature, music and decoration.
