Deployed as part of the implementation of the Foundation’s ten-year plan 2018-2028 and presented before His Majesty King Mohammed VI may God Help him, this program consists of the granting of a grant of up to 2,000 dirhams granted either after the purchase of the computer, or in the form of a reduction applied at the time of purchase from one of the Foundation’s partner computer equipment distributors, it is explained.
A total of 103,269 people were able to benefit from this grant requiring a financial commitment from the Foundation of 225.3 million dirhams. More than 95% of subsidy beneficiaries opted for a laptop computer while 5% of subsidized members chose desktop computers, the press release said.
