Morocco - Technical Assistance for the Promotion of Young Agricultural Entrepreneurs (YAE)

The Technical Assistance Project for the Promotion of Young Agricultural Entrepreneurs (PJEA) aims to promote a private agricultural sector that supports the development of the sector at the local level and promotes the creation of employment for young people. The PJEA aims to promote youth entrepreneurship by giving them the keys to success, support and technical support needed to create their very small agricultural enterprises (TPE). This is a pilot operation to support young agricultural entrepreneurs for a period of 24 months. This pilot operation will help define a kind of practical guide for the creation of any young company in the sector. Its implementation envisages the promotion of an incubation structure through four components which are: (i) Program formulation and selection of young agricultural entrepreneurs (JEA); (ii) Training, installation and accompaniment of JPOs; (iii) Evaluation and replicability of the JEA promotion model; and (iv) Coordination and audit of the operation.
