Within the joint UNW/ILO programme, the Morocco CO has contextualized two policy support tools to Morocco for national institutions to apply to existing sectoral policies. In accordance to the Ministry of Finance's request to focus on preschool care and education and line with Morocco's strategic priorities, we have focused the fiscal stimulus tool on employment and social protection and the second tool (care) on ECCE. National stakeholders, including the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), the Women's Machinery (MSISF) and the Ministry of National and Preschool Education (MENPS) accessed technical support from UN Women Morocco CO provided technical to (i) produce knowledge products, tools, and evidence-based data and (ii) foster knowledge exchange to create synergies and coordinate on care economy. In 2023, the MEF and MENPS contextualized two strategic tools; the first focusing on understanding multidimensional effects of the Covid-19 crisis on gender inequalities and their integration in national recovery plans and public policies, and the second estimating care deficits, investment costs and economic returns related to early childhood care and education, as a niche sector for decent job creation. UN Women provided technical expertise to the institutions, and also launched a study exploring the budgetary space for public investment in the care economy contributing to this result. To promote intersectoral synergies around care economy, main stakeholders from national institutions, civil society, academia and the private sector convened during a national conference on care economy to present the findings of conducted analyses and studies demonstrating how the care economy sector can be a strategic WEE lever. UN Women organized the conference in partnership with the National Women’s Machinery (MSISF). The conference resulted in (i) the Women's Machinery committing to establishing a Care Thematic Group within the National Commission for Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment (CNESAF) and (ii) the announcement of an international conference to pursue the dialogue on care in May 2024. The public guarantee fund Tamwilcom for women-owned/women-led businesses developed new financial products in 2023, approved by the Minister of Economy, as a result of Morocco CO’s work on sustainable finance. The financial products include: Damane Express: An increase in the guarantee quota from 70% to 80% for projects promoted by women’s businesses (capital or management); Damane Istitmar: An increase in the guarantee quota from 60% to 70% for projects promoted by women companies (equity or management); Co-financing Ilayki: Co-financing of investment projects promoted by women's companies (capital or management) up to 40% of project costs on advantageous terms. Tamwilcom is requesting UN Women financial and technical support to deploy measures to accompany women-led business and to launch awareness-raising campaigns on these new products.Disclaimer and notes
