I4DI is collaborating with Planet Partnerships to support IFC’s efforts to enable circular economy finance in Morocco. The initiative focuses on strengthening the capacity of local financial institutions to engage in circular investments and align lending strategies with resource efficiency, waste reduction, and regenerative production models.

Our work includes conducting readiness assessments for selected banks, mapping CE investment opportunities across key sectors, and developing tools and guidance for financial institutions and IFC staff. We’re also contributing to the design of technical assistance plans that respond to the practical constraints and opportunities facing financial actors in Morocco.

The project is part of a wider effort to connect circular economy goals with financial practice. While policy frameworks for circularity have gained momentum, many financial institutions still lack the analytical tools and operational models to support CE-aligned lending. This engagement seeks to close that gap with targeted diagnostics, concrete opportunity mapping, and practical guidance grounded in local realities.

I4DI’s role in this work reflects a consistent focus across our portfolio: supporting development finance institutions and their partners to move from concept to implementation. In Morocco, that means helping to ensure circular economy finance is not only defined—but made possible.
