Partners for a New Beginning

PNB-NAPEO Morocco Local Advisory Board

Launched in April 2011, the Morocco Local Advisory Board serves as the local governance structure of PNB-NAPEO initiatives in the country. Its main objective is to identify regional and local economic opportunity priorities and then initiate and sustain efforts to address these priorities, work with other Maghreb Local Advisory Boards to sustain regional priorities and programs, and act as the main partner for the Aspen Institute.

The Morocco Local Advisory Board was the host of the US-Maghreb Entrepreneurship Conference held 17-18 January 2012 in Marrakech, Morocco. More information is available at pnbnapeo.ma
