EIFL began working in Morocco in 2010 through a three-year project funded by the European Commission’s Tempus Programme: Optimizing access to scientific and technical information at Maghreb universities (IsteMag). In 2012 EIFL  trained librarians on consortium management, negotiating with publishers and licensing of e-resources. In addition, EIFL co-organized a regional workshop for project partners from Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco on open access and institutional repositories. These workshops were attended by vice-rectors/presidents, heads of research administration departments, managers of national research information centres, researchers, librarians and ICT staff.

In 2025, EIFL awarded a 12-month grant to Centre National pour la Recherche Scientifique et Technique in Morocco to enhance the quality and sustainability of its Diamond open access journals platform, the Moroccan Scientific Journals Portal, that hosts over a hundred journals.

The grant was one of 30 awarded through a three-year project to strengthen no-fee open access publishing in Africa.
