Annex 1 presents the intervention logic linking Morocco’s Country Partnership Framework to short-term business planning and results tracking from FY2026 to FY2035. It defines the CPF cross-cutting goal of building foundations for more and better jobs through productivity-driven, private sector-led growth. The annex details outcome narratives, key indicators and baseline/target placeholders, and explains how support strengthens firm productivity and competitiveness, improves connectivity and resilience in lagging regions, and expands skills, health, and labor market participation with a focus on women and youth.

Pub lic Disc losure Authorized Annex 1. Results Matrix Intervention Logic and Short-term Business Planning | CPF Cross-cutting Outcome: Building foundations for more and better jobs in Morocco | | --- | | Rationale for outcome: The CPF’s overarching objective is to support the creation of more and better jobs for all Moroccans through a productivity-driven, private sector-led growth model. Anchored in Jobs: The Path to Prosperity, the CPF focuses on strengthening the foundations for job creation by improving human capital, expanding productive and resilient infrastructure, strengthening firm competitiveness through better governance and pro-competition regulations, and mobilizing private capital to scale investment and job creation. These priorities are operationalized through three mutually reinforcing CPF outcomes: improving firm productivity and competitiveness;strengthening connectivity and resilience in lagging regions and secondary cities; and enhancing skills, health, and labor market participation; particularly for women and youth. These are supported by cross-cutting efforts to strengthen institutional coordination, digital service delivery, and data systems. | | Indicators: • \# of new and better jobs (women and youth)1 Attribution Baseline (2026): TBD Target (2035): TBD | | Outcome 1: Improved Productivity and Competitiveness of Firms | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Rationale for outcome: Morocco’s main constraint to creating more and better jobs is weak labor demand, driven by limited firm dynamism, slow productivity growth, and insufficient private investment rather than labor supply alone. Despite sustained public investment and improvements in human capital, firms continue to face regulatory, competitive, access to finance, technology adoption, and infrastructure-related constraints that limit their ability to invest, expand, and generate productive employment. Addressing these constraints requires improving the business environment, strengthening competition, and mobilizing private investment, including through reforms to state-owned enterprises and market regulations that enable private sector participation. Strengthening institutional coordination, regulatory effectiveness, and data-driven policy making will also be critical to support firm growth and productivity. Improving firm productivity and competitiveness is therefore essential to unlock job creation, support economic diversification, and sustain inclusive growth over the CPF period. | | | | | | | Intervention logic | Business Planning | | Baseline/Target2 | | Indicator | Reflects on lessons learned, as relevant Anchored around the indicators. | Ongoing portfolio-lending, knowledge, and advisory | Pipeline: lending, knowledge, and advisory (18-24 months) | | | Indicator 1.1: Total private capital mobilized Attribution | Mobilizing private capital is critical to scaling investment, improving productivity, and supporting job creation in Morocco, particularly in infrastructure and productive sectors where public resources alone are insufficient.
