What is « Taw2ama »?

« Taw2ama » is an online platform that aims to foster partnerships between Moroccan municipalities/regions and their international counterparts. The word « taw2ama » means « twinning » in Arabic, and it reflects the goal of creating mutually beneficial relationships between different local governments around the world.

How does « Taw2ama » work?

On the « Taw2ama » website, users have the ability to search for collectivities worldwide based on various criteria such as location, size, industries, culture, and more. This allows them to find potential partners that share similar characteristics and interests.

Each collectivity profile on the platform showcases relevant data points to help identify potential matches with synergies. These data points can include information about the local economy, industries, infrastructure, cultural heritage, and more. By providing this information, « Taw2ama » aims to facilitate the identification of compatible international partners.

The Benefits of International Cooperation

The main goal of « Taw2ama » is to surface compatible international matches and encourage cooperation between Moroccan municipalities/regions and their international counterparts. By fostering these partnerships, the platform opens up economic and social opportunities for all parties involved.

One of the key benefits of international cooperation is the opportunity for cultural exchanges. Through twinning partnerships, local governments can promote cultural understanding and appreciation between their communities. This can lead to increased tourism, shared promotion of cultural events, and a deeper appreciation for diversity.

Another benefit is the sharing of knowledge and best practices. By partnering with international counterparts, Moroccan municipalities/regions can learn from the experiences and successes of others. This knowledge sharing can help improve governance, infrastructure development, and the overall well-being of the community.

Joint projects in sectors such as renewable energy and ecotourism are also a focus of « Taw2ama ». By collaborating on these projects, local governments can leverage resources and expertise to achieve common goals. This not only benefits the environment but also creates economic opportunities and sustainable development.

By facilitating partnerships and showcasing success stories and lessons from existing twinning initiatives, the platform aims to inspire and encourage more municipalities and regions to engage in international cooperation.

Through these partnerships, « Taw2ama » believes that local governments can unlock new opportunities for economic growth, social development, and cultural enrichment. By connecting different communities around the world, the platform aims to create a network where knowledge, resources, and experiences can be shared for the benefit of all.
