USAID and our partners are using science and technology to establish innovative and improved sustainable water management practices in Morocco. The H2O Maghreb activity brings improved industrial and municipal water management practices to Morocco and the Maghreb region, while also narrowing the gap between the supply and the demand of skilled labor.
On Friday, August 4th, team members from USAID Washington and USAID Morocco traveled to Anmiter, a rural mountain village in the High Atlas Mountains, which has been selected as a pilot site for EV8, the Evaptainers beta-version of an electricity-free, mobile refrigeration technology system.
Partnerships for Enhanced Engagement in Research (PEER) is a USAID program that is implemented by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences to award grants to scientists in developing countries who partner with U.S. collaborators on research activities with a strong potential development impact. USAID awarded two grants of approximately $250,000 each to Moroccan scientists working on clean energy.

USAID has provided support to Morocco’s water sector for over twenty years. In the late 1990s, USAID improved water resources management in the Souss-Massa River Basin, establishing a model of integrated water management that is still in use today. USAID’s work in Morocco has helped mitigate climate risks by introducing new technologies and building local capacity.
