RABAT, July 6 (Xinhua) -- The Moroccan Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) signed an agreement to promote education and children's rights in Morocco, said a joint statement by the two sides on Friday.
The agreement provides for the implementation of action programs aimed at strengthening the capacities of operators and local partners involved, the statement said.
The two organizations have identified areas of intervention for their joint action, namely improving children's health and nutrition, early childhood development, promoting basic education and adolescent development, strengthening skills in the field of child protection, the socio-economic integration of young people and the sharing of expertise, the statement said.
The Moroccan foundation said the partnership is of great value because it is supported by UNICEF, a UN agency with experience and expertise in the field of children's rights.
It will consolidate efforts made to date in favor of disadvantaged children by providing a framework for support and awareness programs, the statement said.
The agreement symbolizes the commitment of the two institutions to work closely to grow the seeds of quality services and strengthen protective measures that are both vital and sustainable, it added.
