Morocco embraces AI for national sovereignty and development at first National AI Conference
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into national strategies is essential for sovereignty, said Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, Deputy Minister in charge of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, on Tuesday in Salé. Speaking at the opening of Morocco's first National AI Conference, she stressed the urgent need for both institutional and collective awareness that AI is not a future concept, it is a present-day reality. This reality, she explained, is already reshaping key sectors such as social protection, education, health, finance, and urban planning, redefining long-held principles of equity, efficiency, reliability, and sovereignty. As such, she urged that AI should not be seen as a secondary technical tool, but as a core institutional responsibility that requires rethinking how the public sector operates and rebuilding systems of trust between citizens and the state. The minister also emphasized the dual responsibility brought on by the rapid evolution of AI. On one hand, it is vital to avoid clinging to outdated administrative models; on the other, the country must remain agile and ready to redirect national strategies, such as the Digital Morocco 2030 plan, toward full AI integration. Seghrouchni pointed out a key paradox of AI: its ability to either reinforce inequalities or help reduce them. The goal, she said, is to harness AI as a force for social justice and equitable access to opportunities and resources. Highlighting Morocco's African depth, she asserted that AI is not just a global tech race, but also a question of symbolic and material sovereignty, an arena where global power balances are being redefined. She concluded by calling for a sovereign approach to AI, managed «at the level of a nation with a true will for reform and the courage to lead», so that artificial intelligence becomes a genuine driver of development.

Morocco, UNECA Discuss Future African Economic Events in Addis Ababa
Morocco's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the African Union (AU) and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) Mohamed Arrouchi held talks on Monday in Addis Ababa with a delegation from the UNECA led by Deputy Executive Secretary Antonio Pedro. This meeting took place within the framework of the Kingdom's presidency of the Bureau of the Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (CoM). It also forms part of the ongoing consultations between the Moroccan CoM Presidency and UNECA bodies, aimed at coordinating preparations for upcoming continental events. On this occasion, Arrouchi reaffirmed Morocco's commitment to continuing its efforts in favor of concerted African action, based on the principles of solidarity, efficiency, and results. It is worth recalling that Morocco was unanimously elected last March to the presidency of the 57th session of the UNECA and the CoM, an election that reflects the confidence of member states in the Kingdom's leadership and its commitment to dynamic and inclusive economic governance in Africa.

Morocco Rises to 6th in Africa for Public Services, Says AfDB Report
Berlin – Morocco ranks among the continent's top performers in public service delivery, according to the first Public Service Delivery Index (PSDI) released by the African Development Bank (AfDB). The country claims the 6th position in Africa, standing out for its achievements in socioeconomic inclusion and access to electricity. The 2024 report introduces a new index that measures the real capacity of African states to provide essential public services. The PSDI offers a broad and structured picture of how public systems function across Africa, combining hard data with citizen feedback. The index places Mauritius at the top, followed by Egypt and South Africa. Morocco's score of 55.22 out of 100 clearly surpasses both the continental average (45.39) and the North African regional average (50.55). This result puts Morocco in the top 10% of African nations on public service performance. Morocco's leadership rests on several pillars. The report singles out the country's high level of socioeconomic inclusion, with a score of 63.30, showing clear progress in ensuring broader access to public services. Its score in industrial development reaches 57.50, pointing to consistent growth in national production capacity. In energy and electricity, Morocco scores 55.87, supported by one of the highest rates of electricity access on the continent, 98% of the population. This near-universal coverage results from a sustained rural electrification program carried out over more than two decades. The AfDB report also emphasizes Morocco's shift toward renewable energy, particularly solar power, as a major success. The population expresses a high level of satisfaction with public services, reinforcing the impact of the country's long-term investments. While Morocco and a few other countries perform well, the PSDI shows wide gaps across the continent. The average score of 45.39 reflects persistent difficulties in core areas like industrialization (40.19), food security (44.05), and regional integration (44.65). Still, there are signs of improvement. Sectors such as energy (52.99) and inclusion (48.61) raise the overall score, suggesting that targeted efforts can yield results. The AfDB describes the PSDI as more than a ranking. It sees it as a policy tool meant to guide decision-makers, encourage reforms, and offer clear insights into what works. It fills a longstanding void in how governments evaluate public service systems in Africa. Morocco's position confirms the importance of steady investment, social planning, and infrastructure development. The country's results do not come from isolated efforts but from sustained strategies applied over time. In a continent where the demand for quality services continues to grow, Morocco's path offers a reference for others. The 2024 PSDI sheds light not only on where countries stand but also on where they can go, with the right priorities and a clear sense of direction.
