It is the African Development Bank which affirms this in its latest evaluation report of social programs in Morocco, after a mission carried out last March in the Kingdom. According to the document, all indicators are achieved, except one: employment, indicates the daily The Economist in its edition of Monday June 10.
We note that the amount allocated is 10 billion dirhams for the 2023 financial year, as was the case in 2022, with the aim of financing the various current social programs as well as the generalization aspects of social protection. “The revenue generated by the measures introduced in the finance laws since 2021 has been allocated to the fund. The provisioning of the special account for social protection and social cohesion housed at the Treasury level is also activated. Account-level disbursement decisions for the 2022 budget year as well as the summary fund situation for the 2023 budget year are available,” reports The Economist.
On the “better integration of non-qualified people who lost their jobs during Covid-19“, the ADB declares that the indicator is also green. Since then, 103,097 jobs have been created within the framework of Awrach 2, including 81,754 thanks to temporary projects at the territorial level and 21,343 thanks to temporary projects at the national level. The rate of female beneficiaries, on the other hand, only reached 40% during the year 2023, with 36% for temporary projects and 42% for the employment support measure.
On the shutter “promotion of entrepreneurial initiatives and development of SMEs for better inclusiveness”, everything is also going very well according to the ADB. Over the year 2023, 1,455 VSEs in the informal sector benefited from the awareness services of the Ana Moukawil program. “Note that the last meeting to prepare for the launch of the activities of this program took place on December 20, 2023. we read.
Since its creation and until the end of September 2022, the Support Fund for Social Protection and Social Cohesion has spent nearly 29.9 billion dirhams. These expenses mainly contributed to financing the implementation of the Ramed medical assistance scheme to the tune of more than 12.2 billion dirhams, the Tayssir program (9.8 billion dirhams) and the royal initiative Un million schoolbags (2.55 billion dirhams). They also contributed to the assistance program for people with specific needs (0.5 billion dirhams) for the year 2022 and nearly 1.1 billion dirhams paid for the period 2015-2022), and to the Direct Aid Program for widowed women in precarious situations (3.96 billion dirhams).
