Safaa El Alaoui, Head of the Universal Digital Access Service at the Moroccan Digital Development Agency (ADD), presented Morocco's efforts and strategic roadmap to advance digital inclusion and public service digitalization . The congress was organized by Jordan's Telecommunications Regulatory Commission in partnership with the UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). El Alaoui emphasized that the ADD's roadmap supports the national strategy 'Morocco Digital 2030,' launched in September 2024. The strategy aims to boost the digital economy, encourage the development of local tech solutions, create jobs, and accelerate the digitization of public services. Key pillars of the roadmap include modernizing public administration, enhancing interoperability between services, improving user experience, and promoting digital adoption among citizens, particularly vulnerable populations. Morocco, she said, aspires to become a leading digital and tech hub in Africa, while ensuring inclusive access to digital tools. Among ADD's flagship initiatives is the national data exchange platform for public institutions, designed to streamline citizen access to digital services and increase administrative efficiency. El Alaoui also highlighted the 'Digital Lab,' which supports rapid service digitization projects, and 'Dar Al Mouwatin,' a one-stop digital center providing essential e-services to citizens, especially in remote areas. Further supporting digital literacy, the 'Academia Raqmya' platform offers training under the 'Digital Acculturation Pathway' to equip citizens with digital skills and knowledge of emerging technologies. ADD is also working with ESCWA to develop a national digital accessibility roadmap aimed at promoting inclusive design standards across digital platforms, ensuring better access for people with disabilities and reducing the digital divide. The two-day congress gathered regional experts and decision-makers to discuss digital inclusion, the potential of emerging technologies like AI, and ways to enhance cooperation for a more equitable digital society in the Arab world.

Russia ready to support Africa's digital independence
Russia is ready to support African countries in developing technologies that promote self-sufficiency and sovereignty, Aleksey Andreev, Russia's trade representative in Morocco, has stated. In an interview with the newspaper L'Opinion on Tuesday, Andreev said, 'Russia is ready to become a strategic partner of Morocco in the implementation of the national digital strategy Morocco Digital 2030.' He also stressed that while Africa is rich in resources, data has become the most valuable asset in today's world – adding that Russia is not interested in exploiting these resources, but in equipping African nations with tools to manage and protect them. Russia offers 'not only software products, but an ecosystem of digital solutions that guarantee technological sovereignty and growth,' he said. The proposed solutions include digital transformation projects, development of smart cities and systems for public administration, financial services, and business operations. He pointed to several priority domains for cooperation, including AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity, automated control systems, telecommunications, and smart transportation.

Unlike many Western companies, Russian developers prioritize localization and flexibility over rigid licensing models, he said. 'Russian companies offer data hosting on local servers, adapting products to the requirements of domestic brands and working closely with local companies – an essential factor for countries seeking to strengthen their technological sovereignty,' the trade representative explained. The initiative is in line with a broader strategy to strengthen economic ties with Africa. In November, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov noted that trade between Russia and African countries reached a record high of $24.5 billion in 2023, despite obstacles created by the West. According to estimates from the Agroexport Center, Russia's agricultural exports to Morocco reached nearly $280 million in 2024, marking a threefold increase compared to the previous year.
