To fulfill its mission, the Digital Development Agency (ADD) requires the collaboration of multiple stakeholders. The Moroccan public entity has recently signed several partnerships to this end.

The Digital Development Agency (ADD), Morocco’s agency in charge of implementing  the national digital strategy, signed a series of strategic partnerships during the second edition of Gitex Africa, a technology fair being held in Marrakech since May 29th. 

The partnerships involve Sénégal Numérique SA, the National Observatory for Children’s Rights (ONDE), the National Agency for Digital Development of the Comoros (ANADEN Km), Crédit Agricole du Maroc, Indra (a Spanish leader in technological solutions), the Moroccan Agency for Tourism Development (SMIT), and APEBI (the Federation of Information Technology, Telecommunications, and Offshoring).

The agreement with Sénégal Numérique SA prioritizes knowledge and experience sharing as well as system interoperability. This collaboration aims to improve the efficiency of public and private services and promote digital inclusion alongside the development of digital platforms and applications.

The partnership with ONDE aligns with ADD’s “Digital Culture / Online Child Protection” action plan and focuses on fostering a safe and child-friendly digital environment.

ADD and Indra, the Spanish technology leader, will collaborate to develop innovative solutions specifically tailored to Morocco’s needs. This partnership aims to enhance the country’s digital competitiveness.

The agreement with Crédit Agricole du Maroc focuses on experience sharing, training programs, and skill exchange in the digital domain. This collaboration aligns with ADD’s ongoing efforts to promote digital careers, raise digital awareness, and support the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Meanwhile, the partnership with ANADEN Km, the Comoros’ digital development agency, covers the sharing of experience, best practices and digital transformation strategies. It notably aims to improve human resource capacities through training and awareness programs focused on the appropriate use of digital tools.

A tripartite agreement between ADD, SMIT, and APEBI was also signed to spearhead the digitization of Morocco’s tourism sector.

These collaborations build upon the agreement signed with Visa, a global leader in digital payments, on May 17th. This earlier partnership supports the government’s initiatives in financial inclusion and digital development.
