Morocco’s International Cooperation Agency (AMCI) was honored Wednesday in Rome with a prestigious award from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), recognizing its role in advancing global food security through strategic partnerships. The award, presented during the World Food Forum, highlights Morocco’s growing influence in promoting South-South cooperation, particularly in sustainable agriculture and food systems.
The FAO selected AMCI for its leadership in the category dedicated to South-South and triangular cooperation—an area that fosters collaboration between developing nations to share knowledge, technology, and solutions tailored to their specific challenges. Morocco’s initiatives have become a model for how countries in the Global South can work together to address pressing issues like food insecurity and climate-resilient farming.
AMCI’s work is deeply rooted in collaboration. The agency coordinates with a wide range of partners—both domestic and international—to drive projects across key sectors. Its mission focuses on empowering local communities, strengthening institutional capacities, and promoting long-term human development, all while upholding values of mutual respect and equitable partnership.
By prioritizing shared solutions and inclusive growth, Morocco is positioning itself as a bridge between nations facing similar development challenges. The FAO’s recognition underscores the country’s growing role on the international stage, not just as a beneficiary of development efforts but as a proactive contributor to global progress.
