Assign Sharafat Afilal as Minister of Energy, Mines and Sustainable Development of Morocco

On Friday, King Mohammed VI appointed the leader of the Progress and Socialism Party, Sharafat Afilal, as Minister of Energy, Minerals and Sustainable Development, succeeding Laila Benali, the leader of the Authenticity and Modernity Party. Afilal, born in Tetouan in 1972, returns to the new government team led by Fatima al-Zahra al-Mansouri.

Avilal previously served as the Minister Delegate in Charge of Water between 2013 and 2017, and then as the State Secretary in Charge of Water between 2017 and 2018. Its functions were terminated in August 2018 following the King's approval of the proposal of former Prime Minister Saadeddine Al-Othmani to delete the State Secretariat in charge of water at the Ministry of Equipment, Transport, Logistics and Water and to transfer its competences and integrate them within the ministry's structures.

Afeelal is a graduate of the Muhammadiyah School of Engineers, Regiment 1997. In 2011, she obtained a certificate in auditing and management control from the Higher Institute of Commerce and Contracting Management. She is also a member of the Central Committee and the Political Bureau of the Party of Progress and Socialism.

At the institutional and parliamentary level, Avilal was elected as a parliamentary deputy and served as deputy speaker of the House of Representatives between 2011 and 2013, and was elected as a collective advisor to the Tetouan Collective Council for the period from 2021 to 2026. Avilal heads a family of three children along with her husband.

Internationally, Avilal serves as an expert and member of the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. It is a member of the UN-Water Strategic Advisory Group, as well as a member of the Steering Committee of the Global Water Partnership between 2021 and 2023.
