Rabat — Morocco is set to strengthen its role as a digital leader in Africa with the official launch of the Digital for Sustainable Development (D4SD) initiative next week. The program, developed in partnership with the UN Development Bank (UNDP), aims to integrate the Arab-African region into the global digital economy.
Minister Delegate for Digital Transition Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni announced the initiative on Saturday, describing it as a strategic step to position Morocco as a digital hub bridging Africa and the Arab world. The formal unveiling will take place during the 80th United Nations General Assembly in New York, where Morocco will present D4SD as a driver of economic growth and improved public services.
Speaking at the 10th Geopolitical Meetings in Trouville-Sur-Mer, France, Seghrouchni emphasized that digital transformation is becoming central to Morocco’s future, both in terms of domestic progress and regional influence.
The D4SD initiative underscores Morocco’s ambition to lead in digital integration, sustainable innovation, and cross-border collaboration, reinforcing its standing as a pivotal player in the continent’s digital landscape.
