Interpreters for development programme workshops in Morocco

fulbridge provides interpreters, interpretation equipment and translated materials for development programme workshops in Morocco. We work for programme managers at development agencies, NGOs, foundations and donor-funded projects who train mixed-language groups. Our Marrakech team sends one quote for the whole programme.


What you get

  • Interpreters who understand training. Our founder is an interpreter and a trainer, so we know how workshops run: the pace, the group work and the questions.
  • Interpreters who prepare. They read your agenda, slides and list of acronyms before the first session.
  • Translated materials before day one. Slides, handouts, guidelines and assessments, in all 9 of our languages.
  • Equipment that fits the room. Portable systems for small groups and breakout sessions, or a mobile booth (an ISO 4043 booth on request) for larger rooms.
  • Paperwork for procurement. One quote for interpreters, equipment and translation, in MAD.

Programmes we support

  • Training of trainers and capacity-building workshops
  • Project launch events and steering committees
  • Field visits with local partners, with consecutive interpretation
  • Hybrid workshops, with an expert or trainees joining online

We work in the fields where development programmes are most active, including training, health, gender, energy, agriculture, and cities and climate.


How it works

  1. Send us your programme. Dates, cities, languages and number of participants for each session.
  2. Get one quote. For French, English, Arabic, Spanish and Portuguese, we reply within 24 hours.
  3. Share your materials. Agenda, slides and key terms, ideally two days before. Send documents to translate earlier: a translator translates about 2,000 words a day.
  4. On the day. Interpreters are in place 30 minutes before the start. We set up the equipment and pack it up at the end.

Questions from programme managers

Can the same team cover sessions in several cities?

Yes. We work across Morocco from Marrakech. Outside Marrakech, the interpreter day rate is the same, plus travel and accommodation.

What does your quote include?

One quote in MAD for interpreters, equipment and translation. Tell us what your procurement process needs to see, and we will tell you what we can provide.

Do we need two interpreters for one language?

For a full day of simultaneous interpretation, yes. Interpreters work in pairs and take turns. For a short session or consecutive work, one interpreter can be enough.

Can you translate our reports and grant applications too?

Yes. English ↔ French translation costs MAD 0.90 per word excluding VAT, and we translate a 250-word sample free of charge.
