January – December 2025

The year in figures Read the foreword

Foreword

Resilience, then results

2025 opened with a shock. In January, the freeze on US foreign assistance stopped ISED-BMK, our largest programme, and in February the partnership was terminated after four years of work with civil society across the region. We closed the project responsibly and protected the continuity of our teams and commitments.

The rest of the year showed the strength of our model. In Azilal, 1,442 young people applied to the youth entrepreneurship programme we run with the INDH, and 183 projects were validated, more than twice the target. With Manos Unidas, the third edition of ASSURIF turned towards green entrepreneurship. With the AMUSSU programme, five communes mapped their climate risks with more than 640 citizens. With Ajyal Égalité, AMSSAWASS trained and mentored 40 elected women ahead of the 2026 elections.

We also strengthened our own house: a leaner team supported by interns and volunteers, and an independent evaluation of the social impact of ASSURIF since 2021. We thank every partner, commune and community that walked this road with us.

INDH Programme III

Youth Entrepreneurship Support (AEJ), Azilal

AIDECA runs the whole support pathway for young project holders in Azilal province, from the first information session to coaching after the business opens. In 2025 the pre-creation cycle reached every circle and pashalik of the province, from Ouaouizeght to Demnate.

Partners: Provincial Committee for Human Development of Azilal, under Programme III of the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH): income improvement and economic inclusion of young people. AIDECA is the implementing partner for 36 months.

hours of workshops and individual coaching for the 183 selected project holders

Workshops covered business plans, ideation and design thinking, the legal forms of businesses and soft skills, followed by 732 hours of individual coaching on each business plan.

Opportunities Forum, Azilal, 22–23 May

11 stands and 17 workshops on digitalisation, digital marketing, financing and support schemes, and investment in tourism, with ANAPEC, OFPPT, banks, the Provincial Delegation of Tourism, ONCA, the DPA and the regional development company Atlas Tourisme BMK.

Nine institutions sat on the selection committee (CPDE)

  • Division of Social Action
  • Provincial Directorate of Agriculture
  • Provincial Directorate of Crafts
  • Social Development Agency
  • Provincial Delegation of Tourism
  • ANAPEC
  • OFPPT
  • ONSSA
  • Provincial Council of Azilal

After creation: the 2022 and 2023 cohorts

AIDECA kept following the businesses created in earlier cycles, from equipment purchase and tripartite agreements to field visits and coaching.

106
businesses followed through 106 field visits
94
still active; 7 more awaiting equipment
265
jobs generated
42
post-creation workshops since 2023 (252 hours)

Topics: financial education, tax, soft skills, business development, digitalisation with an introduction to AI tools, marketing and sales.

What we learned

  • Close, personalised coaching makes the difference: young people followed regularly presented stronger, more viable projects.
  • Distance limits attendance in remote rural areas, so online modules and closer field follow-up come next.
  • Post-creation follow-up must become a permanent part of the scheme to keep businesses alive.

Access to finance

From coaching to Intilaka financing

Many young project holders in Azilal and across the region look for funding through Intilaka (Damane Intelak), the national programme that eases access to bank credit for young businesses. AIDECA does not lend or decide on credit: it prepares entrepreneurs so they reach the bank with a solid file.

  1. Diagnostic and orientation

    A first conversation to place the idea or activity, the profile of the project holder and the local market, and to point to the right scheme: INDH support, an honour loan or a bank loan under Intilaka.

  2. Training sessions

    Group workshops on business plans, ideation and design thinking, the legal forms of businesses and soft skills: 860 hours in 2025 for project holders in Azilal province.

  3. One-to-one coaching and the file

    An adviser works with each project holder on the business plan, forecasts and financing plan, and on gathering the quotes and documents the bank asks for.

  4. After financing

    Follow-up once the business opens: training on financial education, tax, marketing and digitalisation, and field visits to consolidate the activity.

In 2025 the Opportunities Forum in Azilal brought banks, ANAPEC, OFPPT and support institutions together with 270 young people, including orientation sessions on financing and support schemes.

Mapping green entrepreneurship

Launched in October 2024, the study mobilised associations, cooperatives, businesses and public institutions to map the region's green economy, identify promising sub-sectors and define the skills young people and women need.

  1. 11 Feb Regional meeting at the Faculty of Economics and Management, Béni Mellal: 105 participants (55 women), with USMS, the Regional Directorates of Crafts, Environment and Tourism, ONCA and ODCO
  2. Feb – Jul Results shared with 375 young people and women (197 women) in 7 sessions in Azilal, Khouribga, Demnate and Tagleft, and with 20,000+ people online
  3. Result 89 green business ideas and 6 priority green sectors

The funded green businesses

Eco-friendly traditional and modern clothing, sewing workshops, a tourism cooperative in El Ksiba, a bakery in Souk Sebt, traditional wooden household goods near Ouaouizeght, a solar-powered agricultural cooperative and a women's cooperative making natural herb couscous in Naour.

We started with five women; today we are seven. Thanks to the solar energy provided by the project, our costs went down and our income went up, which gives the members a stable income.

In Douar Aït Baallal (Naour), a women's cooperative now makes 100% natural couscous with local herbs such as carob, thyme and saffron. In Béni Mellal, Sabrine El Khadim opened her own sewing workshop with ASSURIF's support and says she is now financially and personally stable.

ASSURIF 2021–2025: what an independent evaluation found

Over four cohorts, ASSURIF accompanied 81 projects and funded 27. The final evaluation surveyed 56 beneficiaries and 10 network members, with 21 interviews and 3 focus groups.

83.9%
say their project is running and growing
88.5%
report higher turnover
89.3%
created at least one job beyond their own
80.4%
call ASSURIF's support decisive
88.1%
of women report greater financial autonomy
81.0%
of women report a bigger role in household decisions

The evaluation recommends moving from creation to consolidation: stronger post-funding support, simple management tools, access to markets and public procurement, and approaches adapted to women and mountain areas.

ASTA: towards inclusive territorial policies for climate change adaptation

ASTA helps communes build climate resilience into their Communal Action Plans (PAC), with the active participation of civil society, young people, women and people with disabilities.

Partners: AMUSSU programme of the Strategic Support Programme for Civil Society (PASSC), co-funded by the European Union and implemented by COSPE and Migrations & Développement, with AESVT

What ASTA sets out to do

  1. Characterise

    Map climate impacts in five communes and identify actions for their PAC.

  2. Build a framework

    Give councils and their Equity, Equal Opportunities and Gender bodies (IEECAG) a working method to integrate resilience into the PAC.

  3. Strengthen knowledge

    Strengthen local actors' knowledge of climate impacts and resilience options.

  4. Share good practice

    Help communes take ownership of a shared manual of good practices.

In 2025 AIDECA and its partners finalised a participatory diagnostic tool (15 thematic maps, a questionnaire and an interview guide), trained 27 commune representatives to use it, including offline data collection with KoboToolbox, and supported the communes as they led the diagnostics. When Timoulilt withdrew, Hal Merbaa joined as the fifth commune.

Citizens consulted in each commune

  • 188 Oulad Gnaou
  • 186 Azilal
  • 167 Naour
  • 69 Hal Merbaa
  • 33 Had Bouhssoussen

643 citizens in all, through surveys, focus groups and workshops (target: 500).

  9. 13 Nov Results workshop in Hal Merbaa (64 participants)
  10. Sep – Dec Coaching four communes on climate advisory opinions; planning a civic space for dialogue with local decision-makers

Priorities raised by the communes

  • Water stress: drip irrigation, retention basins, reuse and local water governance
  • Sustainable management of forests and biodiversity
  • Drought-resilient crops and livestock, and diversified rural incomes
  • Waste sorting at source and local recycling
  • Mountain, agro- and eco-tourism that respects the environment
  • Small solar installations for public buildings, irrigation and tourism sites

What we learned

  • Communes' main need is access to finance to turn priorities into bankable projects.
  • IEECAG members asked for incentives and targeted support on GIS and maps.
  • Offline data collection with KoboToolbox proved decisive in low-connectivity areas.

Synergy: climate resilience of tourism in Azilal

On 4 December 2025, within the Sustainable Tourism Switzerland–Morocco programme (TDSM), AIDECA co-facilitated a session on climate mitigation and adaptation for tourism in Tabant, Aït Bouguemez. Twenty-five transporters, gîte owners, guides, commune staff and students mapped the most exposed sites and identified priority actions.

ASTA also worked with AMSSAWASS and the provinces to raise awareness of communes in the Moroccan Network of Open Local Authorities. Weekly posts, commune pages and a video on the Naour diagnostic gave the process wide visibility.

ISED-BMK: an early close

Inclusive Socio-Economic Development in Béni Mellal-Khénifra

In January 2025 AIDECA was supporting six local associations to file petitions and access-to-information requests with their communes. On 24 January, following the US Executive Order on the review of foreign aid, FHI 360 instructed AIDECA to stop all work, and on 28 February the subaward was terminated.

  • The project team went from four full-time staff to one person for the close-out, and all documentation was archived.
  • The network of associations, the tools and the participatory mechanisms built with the project now feed AIDECA's governance work, notably ASTA and AMSSAWASS.

Lessons learned

What 2025 taught us

  1. Training, equipment and follow-up after creation, together, are what keep small businesses alive.
  2. The missing link in climate adaptation is turning priorities into bankable projects.
  3. Involving male elected officials and flexible scheduling are conditions for women's participation to progress.
  4. Measuring impact builds trust and opens the door to new partners.
  5. Close, personalised coaching produces stronger projects than training alone.

Outlook

Priorities for 2026

For 2026, AIDECA has organised its action around five interconnected strategic pillars for participatory and inclusive development:

  1. Socio-economic inclusion of young people and women
  2. Climate resilience
  3. Local governance
  4. Migration
  5. Digital inclusion in rural areas

Building on 2025

  • Complete ASTA: the good-practice manual, advisory opinions and a civic space for monitoring local climate policies
  • Move ASSURIF from business creation to consolidation, as the impact evaluation recommends
  • Keep supporting elected women and IEECAG ahead of the 2026 elections
  • Continue following the young entrepreneurs funded under AEJ

Strengthening the organisation

  • Diversify partnerships after the end of ISED-BMK
  • Strengthen post-training and post-funding follow-up systems
  • Consolidate partnerships with communes, regional institutions and media
  • Capitalise and share good practices across programmes
