description This report presents suggested action plans based on stakeholder consultations on investment and institutional strategies for assisting young entrepreneurs in increasing the economic water productivity, i.e., the value or profit of water consumed in the olive and milk value chains in Morocco. Key recommendations to implement in the short-term for a road map are: • Conduct awareness campaigns and training targeting young entrepreneurs on various investment opportunities in the olive and milk value chains and how economic water productivity can be enhanced by providing advisories and services on climate smart land and water management, and agronomic practices, and marketing. • Develop national, regional, and local-scale multisector Resilience Innovation Platforms (communities of practice) to facilitate young entrepreneurs to enhance knowledge in improving the economic water productivity of the two value chains. • Accelerate the expansion of drip irrigation with modernized irrigation infrastructure to address water scarcity., a necessary and urgent action to implement to enhance the olive crop sector's water use efficiency and resilience to climate change. • Pilot test young entrepreneurs business models to form production companies with a view to enhance water productivity of the olive and milk value chain.
