Morocco: Textile and Clothing programme Phase II

Summary

The project, as part of the overall GTEX programme, will help the Moroccan textiles and clothing (T&C) sector to stay on top of emerging market requirements for the textiles and clothing (T&C) sector by moving towards greener practices and being able to adhere to strict forthcoming EU regulations for T&C products sold in Europe.

The project will seek to be transformational, addressing the twin transition of environmental sustainability and digitalization as well as the expected radical shift in demand in Western markets towards “green” quality products with lower volumes of fast fashion. Without such responsible practices, manufacturers will likely not be able to export anymore to key markets such as the EU, US, or Japan.

To achieve the said objectives, the project will pursue two outcome objectives:

•           Increased competitiveness of T&C enterprises through sustainable trade

•           More effective ecosystem able to direct the T&C sector towards systemic change, addressing sustainability and circularity.
