Routes to Resilience: The Power of Transport and Jobs in Morocco and Yemen

Across the region, World Bank transport projects show that infrastructure is not just about building roads, it’s about building opportunity. The work in Morocco and Yemen illustrates how targeted investments in both urban and rural transport can generate jobs, enhance food security, and promote socio-economic development across diverse contexts. These projects highlight the institution’s deep operational expertise and ability to apply global knowledge to local needs. 

Every contract awarded to a local firm strengthens community ownership and helps sustain these businesses in preparation for the day after the conflict ends. 

Every kilometer of maintained road stimulates commerce, education, and health access. By aligning infrastructure investment with job creation and human capital development, the World Bank is helping countries build resilience and inclusive growth from Morocco’s cities to Yemen’s rural communities.
