The project in El Kelaa des Sraghna, Morocco has introduced a shared transport system with 25 e-tricycles (including 5 with food cooling systems) for the transport of goods and adjacent rural municipalities of the province.
© GIZ Towns and villages in Morocco do not want to be left behind in the e-mobility trend and yearn for sustainable transport of people and goods, which can positively affect the livelihoods of low-income groups such as farmers, business-women and men. The project has introduced a shared transport system with 25 e-tricycles (including 5 with food cooling systems) for the transport of goods in El Kelaa des Sraghna and adjacent rural municipalities of the province. In addition, solar panels have been erected to win the energy for charing the tricycles. By introducing these new means of innovative transport for the rural population, it will contribute to increasing market access and further employment opportunities. A special focus is on equal opportunities for women.

The Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport (SLoCaT) is a multi-stakeholder partnership of over 90 organizations (representing UN organizations, Multilateral and Bilateral development organizations, NGOs and Foundations, Academe and the Business Sector). The thematic scope of the Partnership is land transport in developing countries, including freight and passenger transport. Both motorized and non-motorized transport are included. The policies proposed by SLoCaT are universal but the geographical scope of the Partnership is mainly for developing countries. The Partnership’s current focus is Asia, Latin America and Africa.

The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is headed by the Minister, Svenja Schulze, the Parliamentary State Secretaries, Dr. Bärbel Kofler and Niels Annen, and the State Secretary, Jochen Flasbarth. When Germany provides a developing country with a low-interest loan, when German experts advise the government of a partner country on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) or when private German organisations carry out projects in developing countries, these are all approaches involving direct development cooperation between Germany and its partners. Besides engaging in such bilateral development cooperation activities, Germany is also involved in activities for the benefit of the developing countries at the international level.
