EN.MUHAMMADIYAH.OR.ID, YOGYAKARTA – The Special Branch Board of Muhammadiyah in the Kingdom of Morocco (PCIM Morocco) met with the Muhammadiyah Central Board’s Council for Cadre Development and Human Resources (MPKSDI) at the Central Board’s office in Yogyakarta on Friday (16/10). The meeting focused on strengthening cadre development and advancing Muhammadiyah’s dakwah in Morocco.
The PCIM Morocco delegation was led by its chairperson, M. Faisal Maulana, and received by MPKSDI Chairperson Bachtiar Dwi Kurniawan, accompanied by Deputy Chairperson Muthohharun Jinan and council member Ahmad Nubail.
During the meeting, Faisal outlined the distribution of Muhammadiyah cadres across Morocco, along with their current circumstances and development needs. His presentation was part of an effort to map the cadres’ potential and formulate strategic steps to strengthen cadre development.
Faisal also described cadre development programs that had been implemented and those planned for the future. In July 2026, PCIM Morocco held a Baitul Arqam. The branch is currently developing a cadre training curriculum, which is scheduled for implementation in November 2026.
The program is expected to deepen cadres’ understanding of Islam and Muhammadiyah. At the same time, they aim to strengthening solidarity and their commitment to the organization’s mission.
Strengthening Cadre Development and Local Partnership
In response, Bachtiar Dwi Kurniawan offered guidance and recommendations for developing the cadre training programs. He emphasized the importance of implementing cadre development effectively and sustainably, alongside efforts to introduce Muhammadiyah to the local community.
Beyond strengthening internal capacity, MPKSDI also encouraged PCIM Morocco to establish and expand relationships with local partners. This was considered essential to supporting Muhammadiyah’s outreach activities and thus creating broader opportunities for collaboration in Morocco.
The involvement of cadres in practical programs and activities on the ground was also highlighted. Organizational experience and direct interaction with local communities are important components of cadre development, complementing formal training, study sessions, and discussions.
The meeting is expected to strengthen coordination between PCIM Morocco and MPKSDI as they work to build a more structured and sustainable cadre development system.
