Morocco invests MAD 154.6 million in new mosque development for 2025
Morocco's mosque infrastructure is set to expand significantly in 2025, with the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs allocating MAD 154.6 million for mosque construction projects across the country. Minister Ahmed Toufiq announced that the funding will support the completion of 23 existing mosque projects and facilitate the construction of 9 new religious facilities.
Speaking at the Lower House, Toufiq outlined a comprehensive investment strategy for religious infrastructure. The ministry has earmarked MAD 275.5 million for mosque rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts. Additionally, MAD 146.9 million will be invested in preserving and restoring historical mosques, while MAD 264.9 million is designated for equipping 1,640 mosques with energy-efficient materials.
In response to the Al Haouz earthquake's impact, Toufiq reported that 2,217 mosques sustained damage. The ministry has established a dedicated three-year rehabilitation program for affected worship spaces and waqf properties. To ensure effective implementation, a specialized central unit has been created with a budget of MAD 225 million.
This major infrastructure initiative demonstrates Morocco's commitment to maintaining and expanding its religious facilities while incorporating modern energy-efficient solutions and addressing natural disaster recovery needs.
