Morocco and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) signed, on Monday in Rabat, a $994,000 agreement on technical support for the kingdom’s forest programme.

The "UTF MOR 037 MOR" agreement, which was signed by Abdeladim Lhafi, high commissioner for water and forests, and André Hupin, FAO representative in Morocco, covers four years (2010-2014).

It follows a first agreement between the two sides to pursue technical assistance towards achieving the objectives relating to good governance and management with regard to information flow and forest protection tools.

The Moroccan side highlighted, on this occasion, the quality of bilateral co-operation, extending thanks to FAO for its support to all its projects.

Hupin said this agreement aims at consolidating achievements made at the first phase.

He also commended the high commission’s efforts to ensure success of the first phase, reiterating FAO’s commitment to achieve the goals set out by the agreement in terms of governance and sustainable management of forests. (MAP)
