Context
Morocco is facing severe water shortages, a trend expected to worsen drastically in the coming years. If water resource management is to become more climate sensitive and Morocco's resilience to the impacts of climate change is to improve, it is essential to translate water and climate objectives into urban planning and development, taking into consideration gender equality and social inclusion.

The Moroccan government has given high political priority to the issues of climate change and water resources. Still, urban water management is not yet sufficiently developed to make potential savings, to put a circular economy in place or to overcome the challenges of climate change.

Objective
Urban water management in Morocco is becoming more oriented towards circular economy and climate resilience.

Approach
The project advises and supports national, regional, and local partners in integrating circular-economy-oriented and climate-resilient urban water management into urban planning:

The main measures of the project include:

- Advising public mandate holders in urban development on how to anchor cycle-oriented water management in urban planning and development.
- Developing institutional and technical capabilities in two selected cities to improve urban water management systems that are conducive to a circular economy and are climate resilient, including the preparation of water related infrastructure.
- Enhancing the availability of digital data in the urban water and climate adaptation field to improve urban planning in Morocco.
