Morocco gets South Korea-World Bank us$ 240,000 donation

South Korea and Morocco signed this Thursday a memorandum of understanding providing for a donation of US$ 240,000 to support the Kingdom's e-government drive.

The Korean computerization agency (NCA) will bring to Morocco its expertise in the field of e-government and electronic governance. The donation is equally supplied by South Korea and the World Bank.

Moroccan minister of industry, commerce and telecom, Rachid Talbi Alami, said the funds will help develop the e-health initiative that will start in five months and finance industrial information.

The Korean agency, which has already financed the setting in place of the Moroccan industrial information network, will sign with Morocco a broader cooperation agreement next April.
