Ms. Naqrachi is also an alumni member and consultant for the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA), an association created to support Muslim women in the most disadvantaged regions of Morocco. JIDA aims to promote social, economic and cultural action in rural areas through helping women and girls adapt their jobs to their environment and help disabled women.
