Unlocking Development through the Power of Co-financing
On February 11, the World Bank Group, together with the Moroccan Ministry of Economy and Finance and AFD Group, will convene a high-level forum — The Power of Co-Financing — to strengthen collaboration on co-financing among development partners and countries.
Development needs today are vast, and no single institution can meet them alone. By joining forces and financing projects together, development partners can mobilize more resources, support larger and more complex investments, and deliver results faster—helping countries accelerate progress toward ending poverty and boosting shared prosperity. Initiatives such as Mission 300 and AgriConnect illustrate how shared platforms can bring partners together and unlock financing at scale.
Morocco has been at the forefront of co-financing efforts, with a strong track record of effective partner collaboration. Over the past decade (FY16–26 YTD), five World Bank Group–supported projects in Morocco have been co-financed, mobilizing more than $2 billion. Co-financing has played a key role in sectors such as urban development, agriculture, and transport, with partnerships now expanding into health, energy, and digital development.
