This has been in the works: The board of AfDB approved EUR 120 mn in financing for the first phase of Morocco’s Governance and Climate Change Resilience Support Programme (GCRRP) last July.

AfDB 💚 Morocco: The lender approved EUR 84 mn in funding to support a Moroccan project aimed at boosting economic resilience to climate change and improving the water cycle in June. The project covers four watersheds and national parks and targets 6.5 mn rural residents to promote sustainable natural resource development, forest value chains, and aquaculture entrepreneurship.
