The project “MOVE GREEN_(E)Co-development for innovation and employment in the green and circular economy sector between Andalusia and Morocco” (ICMPD / 2021 / MPF-357-007), co-financed by the European Union through the Mobility Partnership Facility (MPF), managed by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) is implemented by a consortium led by the Andalusian Fund of Municipalities for International Solidarity (FAMSI), together with the Andalusian Renewable Energy Association (CLANER) and the Federation of Local Communities of Northern Morocco and Andalusia (AN^MAR).
The overall objective of the project “MOVE GREEN_(E)Co-development for innovation and employment in the green and circular economy sector between Andalusia and Morocco” is, on the one hand, to promote the employability and entrepreneurship of young Moroccans in the green, circular and renewable economy sectors through a process of training and professional qualification, thus contributing, on the other hand, to the retention of talent in the country of origin and the generation of employment and active entrepreneurship among young people in Morocco. Similarly, the project aims to strengthen partnerships between public and private institutions that promote the development of the green economy, linking circular migration and co-development processes with the promotion of sustainable economy.
The training of skilled labour in renewable, green and circular energy is a mechanism for directly enhancing the opportunities for the development of energy efficiency and renewable energy.
Moreover, the European Union is striving to counteract the carbon leakage that occurs when companies with high emissions relocate their production to non-EU regulated territories.
Through the promotion of entrepreneurship and employability in the green, circular and renewable economy sector, the EU is creating the conditions to ensure that production in a neighbouring country such as Morocco, with different regulations, bases its attractiveness on the low price of green energy and not so much on possible differences in legislation that may exist between the two territories, putting a stop to relocation for environmental reasons.
Project funded by:
The Andalusian Renewable Energy Cluster (CLANER) is a group of companies, official bodies, technology and research centres, universities and public foundations, among other agents. Its aims include the representation and defence of the Andalusian renewable energy and energy efficiency sector, as well as the promotion and encouragement of research, technological development and innovation of products, processes and services associated with this field through collaboration and cooperation between the members of the cluster in order to strengthen the competitiveness of Andalusian companies in the clean energy sector. It currently has around one hundred member companies and represents more than 90% of the Andalusian renewable energy sector.
The ANMAR Federation of Local Collectivities of Northern Morocco and Andalusia includes more than 60 Local Collectivities of Northern Morocco and Andalusia. The Federation is the crystallisation of a decentralised cooperation programme, known as the ANMAR Programme, which began in 2006. Led by FAMSI, it is supported by AACID, AECID, the Directorate General of Local Authorities of the Ministry of the Interior of the Kingdom of Morocco – DGCL and UNDP. The ANMAR Programme has been working during these first years activating collaborations, projects, programmes, meeting and coordination spaces; exchanges of experiences and know-how; giving rise to an active network of local entities between Andalusia and Morocco.
The Andalusian Fund of Municipalities for International Solidarity, FAMSI, is the entity that articulates, encourages and coordinates the action of Andalusian local authorities in a network of local and global cooperation and action. FAMSI promotes the exchange of good practices and the production of knowledge, international and multilateral networks focused on the public interest and the territorial approach, the objectives of social sustainability, the environment and the economy, as derived from the major international consensuses, and the New Urban Agenda.
