The project to create a green belt around the city of Ouarzazate was presented to King Mohamed VI during his visit in 2007. Welcomed with enthusiasm, this initiative perfectly meets the kingdom's international commitments and its national policy. It is part of an integrated sustainable development that promotes long-term effects. It also responds to Sustainable Development Goals 6, 13 and 15 (SDGs) defined by the United Nations, particularly with regard to the policies put in place to: Guarantee access for all to managed […] sanitation services sustainably; Take urgent action to combat climate change; Preserve and restore terrestrial ecosystems […] fight against desertification […] put an end to the loss of biodiversity. The subject of an agreement between the Ministry of the Interior, the Provincial Council and the High Commission for Water and Forests, the general objectives of the project therefore include environmental, climatic and socio-economic issues of vital importance for the inhabitants. from the city. This is to contribute to:protect the city against desertification and strong winds;Create recreational spaces for the population ;Optimizing the use of water for irrigation . The belt area encompasses the outskirts of the city of Ouarzazate, the banks of the Mansour Eddahbi dam lake and some spaces inside the city. Of the approximately 2000 hectares initially planned, only 635 hectares will finally be retained after three years of the launch of the initiative. After a series of technical studies and consultations between project stakeholders, a global reframing was approved around two main elements: Decrease in the area of plots dedicated to plantations and gradual introduction of the use of treated wastewater discharged by STEP. A new irrigation architecture The memorandum of understanding signed between UNEP, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and the Forest Service of South Korea called "Partnership for Greening Drylands on Forest Rehabilitation, Conservation Biodiversity and Sustainable Land Management” has as its first pilot project “Biodiversity Conservation and Community Development through Tree Planting”. This pilot project first covers three African countries: Morocco, Tunisia and Ghana for the period 2012-2015. A second phase 2015-2018 will include Benin and Ethiopia. The Forest Service of South Korea provides financial support to the project under the initiative of Changwon. It will be in this context that Targa integrates the project of realization of the green belt of Ouarzazate by signing a cooperation agreement in 2012 with the UNEP. This involves setting up a solar pumping system for treated wastewater for the irrigation of the green belt. Favorably received, this initiative initiates a strategic change and gives the project a strongecological added value insofar as the wastewater of an arid city is recovered and purified in compliance with environmental standards to be then reused in the irrigation of the green belt and recreational areas and this by solar pumping only. In addition to this technical challenge of rethinking the entire irrigation system, there are two other innovative components in the device allowing rational and optimized management of purified water: a modern weather station for data collection and a remote management system via a powerful digital application. The complete architecture of the irrigation system is reviewed and the necessary resizings are gradually implemented by the Targa teams. They support the realization of this new configuration on a daily basis through the design, installation and management of the solar-powered irrigation system. At the end of the third phase of the project, some 635 hectares will be irrigated by this new device. In the medium and long term, the effects will be multiplied both on the irrigated area and on the environment and biodiversity of the region. The same applies to the social and economic prospects of the city. Technical achievements: ·Installation of pumping stations (head station): The pumping station with a filtration system was initially to consist of two pumping units fulfilling the need for three plots of the project. However, the cost turned out to be high compared to the estimated budget. An intermediate two-phase purchase solution was adopted. . Installation of the photovoltaic field The installation work of the photovoltaic field at the level of the Anatim perimeter required earthworks and preparation of the foundations supporting the metal frame and the installation of the tubing for the power cables between the technical room and the field. photovoltaic. As the work progressed, relocations of the panels were carried out according to the needs expressed, the operation of the two pumps and the rotary filter required the installation of 120 photovoltaic panels. . Installation of a suction tarp The impurities contained in the recovered water cause malfunctions in the drip system and more particularly in the water valves. The latter are clogged and cause a break in the flow of water to the plants. The installation of a suction cover near the pool was therefore necessary to accommodate a filtration system adapted to this unforeseen situation. It is a room dug into the ground and made watertight. Casing of the basin of the suction tank. Casing of the walls of the filtration station. · Installation of a rotary filter The suction cover accommodates this filter equipped with a rotating drum. It soaks in the water to be filtered which arrives from the basin. Its wall, covered with a porous layer, traps solid impurities. A blade scrapes the drum at a distance to remove solid residue as it goes, while maintaining effective wall porosity. The water thus filtered is sucked up by the pumps and then sent back to the main pipes and then to the drop by drop. · Setting up a weather station Installed at the foot of the STEP, the station allows the measurement of the surrounding climatic parameters every 10 minutes. These parameters include temperature, air humidity, wind speed and direction, rainfall and solar radiation. Through these readings, it is a question of centralizing significant measurements on the meteorological state of the sectors, of integrating consumption forecasts, of taking into account operating constraints, and possible savings in electrical energy consumption to ensure optimal overall management. It is a fundamental decision-making aid in irrigation planning. Currently, this device only concerns the so-called Anatim plot. The results of this first experience will depend on its extension to the entire perimeter of the green belt. Implementation of a remote management system Thanks to this system, the planning and management of the irrigation of the green belt and recreational areas will be done in appropriate and optimal conditions and according to the climatic data provided by the meteorological station. This system thus enables: (i) optimization the mobilization of water in sufficient quantity (ii)the reduction operating costs and network maintenance costs (iii)automation irrigation system facilities (iv) mastery irrigation planning by generating reports, statistical data and balance sheets that help decision-making Installation of a nursery The establishment of a nursery of forest seedlings near the green belt was taken on the initiative of the Targa team on land near the perimeter of the Anatim plot. This establishment aims to anticipate the lack of plants by immediate reactivity on site but also to develop new forest areas. . The other perimeters of the right bank of the green belt: . Perimeter of Oued R'Bat: Initially, the perimeter of Oued R'Bat was irrigated through diesel pumping (generator), the ambition of the project as well as the cost of diesel pumping a imposed the conversion of diesel pumping to solar pumping The Targe association has set up a motor pump unit (Q=42.7 m3 /h) to ensure this operation, the operation of this pump is done through 56 photovoltaic panels. Perimeter of tasserda: The tasserda perimeter will be irrigated from the Ouad-R'bat perimeter, which required the reinforcement of the PV field at the Ouad R'bat perimeter with 90 panels. The targa association recently deposited the metal frame of the PV field, in addition it supplied the motor pump unit intended for the irrigation of the tasserda perimeter, pending the installation of the photovoltaic panels very soon. · .Generalization of the use of wastewater: The generalization of the use of treated wastewater for all the perimeters of the green belt required the supply of two new motor pump units at the level of the head station. In addition, several operations have been finalized concerning the installation of the PV field relating to the two motor pump units, more particularly: Excavation and foundation preparation for the support of the metal structure of the photovoltaic panels; Installation of power cable casings between the technical room and the photovoltaic field; Installation of the warning mesh for the protection of the cables; Preparation of the metal frame of the photovoltaic panels. . Other works: After the laying of the main water supply pipe and the construction of a new technical room at the level of ouad R'bat on the part of the provincial council of the city of Ouarzazate (project partner), the Targa association intervened to ensure the connection of the main pipe with the technical lots of Ouad R'bat and Anatim in order to ensure the pumping of water through the main pipe. In addition, the association made some modifications to the secondary pipe located inside the old Anatim technical room, in order to guarantee the pumping of water from the suction tank built in the screen. Field management and monitoring Targa is responsible for setting up the entire solar pumping system. To do so, it uses external service providers for certain works, in particular earthworks, development and construction. Its missions include, among other things, ensuring: The management of the expenditure of the funds dedicated to the device; The choice and then the purchase of the appropriate equipment; Supervision and monitoring of development works with the service provider; Maintenance of pumping equipment, photovoltaic panels, filtration system as well as the remote management system. Moving equipment (photovoltaic panels, solar pumps, etc.) as needed; Control and supervision of the remote management system provided by the engineer on site; The collection of meteorological data through a specific application; Training and awareness of users in the operation and maintenance of the irrigation system and the remote management system. A manual is provided to the maintenance company. Constraints and difficulties of the terra in Like any pilot project, the implementation of the solar pumping unit faced several difficulties and hazards to which it was necessary to provide answers and find solutions. These obstacles are all lessons to be learned for the rest of the project but also for possible duplications. Some of the difficulties that have caused slowdowns and delays in implementation include: Delays in finalizing calls for service tenders within the implementation deadlines; Few and insufficiently qualified human resources: poor maintenance of the irrigation system impacting the availability of water in sufficient quantity for the irrigation of certain plots; Absence of regulation of pumping at the outlet of the WWTP: farmers (mainly olive-growing) withdraw large quantities for their needs; Slow procedures for obtaining authorizations to lay cabling through private properties. Results achieved and expected in the short and medium term Immediate effects - Solar powered drip irrigation system currently covers Anatim 1 and 2 plots wooded with eucalyptus, tamarix and acacia trees. - The system has also made it possible to create jobs essential to the maintenance and planting of trees - New knowledge and skills in the design, installation and management of a drip irrigation system powered by solar energy are acquired. Short and medium term effects A third phase in progress in the perimeter of Oued R'bat will cover the water needs of 65 Ha. The system should then cover the planned 30 Ha of recreational spaces in the city, then the perimeters of Talat (153 Ha) and the area adjoining the public dump (100 Ha). The expected effects of the implementation of the system should allow the consolidation and then the development of the green belt. These effects are measured from 3 main angles: From an environmental point of view : Effects on greenhouse gases. First of all by reducing their emissions into the atmosphere by adopting solar energy. Then by the retention of these gases by the trees: According to studies, 1 wooded hectare can ensure up to 24 tons of CO2 retained / year; The effects on biodiversity will begin to be felt by the gradual development of a local microclimate (increase in the humidity rate, etc.) From an economic point of view : The economic benefits are analyzed in terms of potential for the creation of income-generating activities (IGA) around the green belt and recreational areas and its direct effects on families. Other positive economic effects in agricultural terms are envisaged: development of agroforestry, olive growing and other crops compatible with the use of treated wastewater. Finally, thanks to land reclamation, the area should attract more and more small investors. In social and educational terms : Recreational spaces bring well-being to the inhabitants. The lack of green spaces that can provide shade and coolness in summer in particular has been reduced. Tours of the belt are organized for local pupils and students. Future generations are made aware of the protection of the environment. Impacts Reduction of the impact of strong winds on the city; Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions Reduction of the energy bill: sustainable renewable energy

Context, objectives and principles: As part of supporting local authorities in developing their skills, particularly those relating to inter-municipal cooperation, the Ministry of the Interior has launched an ambitious project to set up a National Scheme for Territorial Cooperation. (SNCT). Indeed, intercommunality is a means that allows local authorities to pool their financial and human resources in order to create and manage local public facilities and services. This project is part of the Municipal Performance Improvement Program (PAPC) in its component no. 21, initiated in collaboration with the World Bank and the French Development Agency with the methodological support of the Paris Region Institute and the competition of the Targa-Aide association. The development of the SNCT aims to define the relevant geographical and functional perimeters of Intermunicipal Cooperation Establishments (ECI) and Groupings of Territorial Communities (GCT) in order to ensure a harmonious and orderly development of its cooperation. To achieve the above-mentioned objective, it was agreed to initially develop 12 Regional Territorial Cooperation Schemes (1 SRCT per Region) and then consolidate the results obtained to set up an SNCT. It should be noted that these diagrams have no prescriptive scope, but are textual and graphic documents put in place by the State, in consultation with local elected officials and decentralized administrations, with the aim of providing guidance. national and regional authorities on the relevant geographical and functional perimeter of territorial cooperation. As a result, it is obvious that the State will support the developments in territorial cooperation that will fall within the vision established by the said plans. The methodological approach for establishing the first regional plan for territorial cooperation: Obtaining a coherent and relevant SRCT is based on respecting a methodological approach based on the following steps: Diagnosis and data collection; Data consolidation; Cartographic representation of data; Analysis of solidarity and relevant perimeters; Consultation with stakeholders. Activities 2021 Production of all the maps necessary for the analysis of territorial cooperation for the Souss-Massa region; Drafting of the methodological note for the realization of the Regional Territorial Cooperation Scheme of Souss-Massa. Upcoming activities 2022 Design of a questionnaire allowing the analysis of existing territorial cooperation; Proposal of Regional Territorial Cooperation Schemes and a National Territorial Cooperation Scheme; Implementation of the data updating system (at Circle scale)

Lire l'article Intercommunalité et Coopération Territoriale Targa-Aide mène depuis près de trois ans une large animation inclusive dans tout le territoire national visant à aboutir au développement et la mise en œuvre des Schémas Régionaux de Coopération Territoriale (SRCT) dans chacune des 12 régions du pays. L’établissement participatif et spécifique de ces 12 schémas constitueront la base d’un document de synthèse sous forme de Schéma National de Coopération Territoriale (SNCT). Ce programme est mené sous la tutelle de la Direction Générale des Collectivités Territoriales (DGCT), en partenariat avec la Banque Mondiale et l'Agence Française de Développement (AFD). Il a comme objectif le renforcement de la coordination entre les collectivités territoriales pour une gestion mutualisée de certains services publics. La région de Souss-Massa, choisie comme région pilote, a permis de tester et d’affiner la méthodologie, qui est désormais appliquée dans les 12 régions du Royaume. L’objectif est de renforcer les liens entre communes, mutualiser les ressources et encourager la création d’Établissements de Coopération Intercommunale (ECI) et de Groupements de Collectivités Territoriales (GCT). À travers cette démarche, Targa-Aide contribue à instaurer une vision commune pour un développement régional harmonisé et efficace. Etat d’avancement : Le Schéma Régional de Coopération Territoriale (SRCT) de la région de Souss-Massa est actuellement en phase de validation par la Direction Générale des Collectivités Territoriales (DGCT) et la Banque Mondiale. Les projets de SRCT pour les autres régions sont en cours de finalisation, tandis que l’élaboration du Schéma National de Coopération Territoriale (SNCT) progresse, visant à harmoniser les initiatives intercommunales au niveau national pour une gestion territoriale plus cohérente et intégrée Équipements Publiques Locaux Déployé dans les 12 régions du Maroc, le programme des Équipements Publiques Locaux (EPL) contribue à la dynamique de décentralisation et de régionalisation avancée initiée depuis plus d’une décennie dans le pays. Son principal objectif est de réaliser un inventaire exhaustif des équipements publics locaux (gares routières, marchés, espaces sociaux, etc.)et d’en évaluer leur état et la qualité du service rendu afin d’optimiser leur gestion et d’améliorer la planification et les services de proximité. En cohérence avec les articles 31, 33 et 34 de la Constitution de 2011, ces EPL doivent contribuer à rendre les espaces urbains et ruraux inclusifs, résilients et durables, alignés sur les Objectifs de Développement Durable et le Nouvel Agenda Urbain des Nations Unies. En partenariat avec la Direction Générale des Collectivités Territoriales (DGCT), Targa-Aide assure un accompagnement technique, des formations ciblées et une coordination avec les acteurs locaux pour structurer harmonieusement les territoires marocains. État d’avancement : Avant de démarrer les enquêtes de ces équipements à l’échelle nationale, des réunions régionales et provinciales sont en cours actuellement visant à affiner l’inventaire des EPL, lancer officiellement et identifier les acteurs locaux concernés. Les formations pour démarrer les enquêtes sont en cours également dans toutes les régions du pays. Tous les outils nécessaires (questionnaires, plateforme en ligne, accès à la plateformes, etc.) ont été développés pour une mise en œuvre efficace. THERE TASKIWIN The dance Tasikiwin, a martial dance from the High Atlas of Morocco, inscribed in 2017 on UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage, is currently broadcast in the pavilion of traditions at the Center des Lumiéres which takes place at La Saline Royale in Arc et Senans .

Targa-Aide has begun launching activities in other regions of the Kingdom. These launch meetings take place at the level of the wilayas according to the following schedule: Rabat-Sale-Kenitra: 09/02/2023 Casablanca-Settat: 02/10/2023 Fez-Meknes: 02/14/2023 Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima: 02/17/2023 Marrakech-Safi: 02/21/2023 Beni Mellal-Khenifra: 02/23/2023 Eastern: 02/28/2023 Darâa Tafilalet: 09/03/2023 Guelmim-Oued Noun: 03/14/2023 Dakhla-Oued Eddahab: 09/05/2023 Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra: 05/11/2023 Program: Development of Regional Schemes and a National Territorial Cooperation Scheme This program is initiated by the Ministry of the Interior, through the General Directorate of Territorial Communities, in partnership with the World Bank and the French Development Agency (AFD), the Performance Improvement Support Program des Communes (PAPC) with the methodological support of the Paris Region Institute and the assistance of the Targa-Aide association. It will make it possible to promote the development of cooperation between local authorities, and first and foremost inter-municipal cooperation which is embodied in particular in the Establishments for Inter-municipal Cooperation (ECI) and the Groupings of Territorial Communities (GCT). The objective is to initially develop twelve projects for Regional Territorial Cooperation Schemes (one SRCT per Region). The SNCT will be approved by the Ministry of the Interior on the basis of these twelve projects, after adjustments intended to ensure complete consistency. This SNCT will define the relevant geographical and functional perimeters of the ECIs and GCTs to ensure the harmonious and orderly development of this cooperation. Specific partnership agreement relating to support for the national program of forestry infrastructure and equipment in Morocco The fourth quarter of 2020 was marked by another collaboration between the Ministry of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, Rural Development and Water and Forests (Department of Water and Forests) and Targa-Aide. It is a framework agreement that covers several areas and consists of: Complete the establishment of the green belt around Ouarzazate; Provide support for the establishment of an inventory and a territorial diagnosis of forestry infrastructure and equipment and the constitution of a national database with an updated territorial division reference; Implement a pilot activity to improve the incomes of populations in ecologically fragile mountain areas by introducing fish farming aimed at both biodiversity conservation and the improvement of household living conditions and the integration of young people in economic life according to the principles of a social and solidarity economy. Containment and teleworking in Targa To respect the state of emergency decreed by the government and to shelter all the teams, Targa-aide began working from home on Monday March 16, 2020. The field surveys which were already launched before the confinement were tracked remotely by digitally collecting the remaining data. The IT tools put in place since 2018 have proven to be extremely efficient and perfectly suited to this mode of remote working. Face-to-face work has gradually resumed this week and will be, except for a few exceptions for whom maintaining telework is justified, generalized from June 10, the date scheduled for the lifting of confinement on a national scale. "The National Coordination of the National Initiative for Human Development - INDH" A general partnership framework between the National Coordination for Human Development (Ministry of the Interior) and the Targa-Aide Association has been set up. It is an agreement that provides support for the implementation of programs of the National Initiative for Human Development. It covers two central axes: Exchange of data in order to establish a social and territorial diagnosis with a view to the constitution of a multi-sectoral database; Support for the CN-INDH for the implementation and ownership of the PEDEL program initiated by the GIZ in the field of Social and Solidarity Economy in the provinces of Ouezzane, Figuig, Boulemane and Sidi Bennour._cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ New Headquarters of TARGA-Tangier In 2020, the real estate assets of the Targa-Aide association were extended with a new office space to install the "data management center" of the regional branch in Tangier. TARGA-Tangier is a team made up of about twenty employees divided into GIS engineers, BDD engineers and technicians.

The main objective of the capacity building program is to establish a continuous process of engagement of the various stakeholders and the CLDH, to achieve common objectives of human development, local economic development and inclusion at the territorial level. It is also a question of strengthening their governance through dialogue, coordination and collaboration between public and private actors and giving more room for maneuver to civil society at the local level to allow synergy between initiatives and visions in order to ensure success and maximize the impact on human and economic development at the local level. It is therefore a question of presenting a complete support and capacity building offer that is in harmony with the vision of the Three-Year Training and Skills Building Strategy of the INDH ecosystem (SFRC), which will be likely to help local actors in decision-making by developing their skills on the key issues of this Phase III (mainly the CLDHs) and to strengthen the organizational performance of the CLDHs, their coordination and harmonize their visions. Overall Objectives of the INDH Local Ecosystem Technical Assistance and Capacity Building Program This technical assistance and capacity building program is made up of three sub-programs and has the following overall objectives: Contribute to building the capacities of CLDHs in territorial planning, so as to guarantee the conditions for the success of the process of programming, implementation and monitoring-evaluation of the multi-year programs of the INDH Provide the CLDHs, mainly their presidents, with the necessary tools and skills to enable them to succeed in the missions and roles of the CLDHs planned and defined by the Ministry of the Interior (CN-INDH and DGCT) Meet the requirements of the missions of the heads of circles in terms of coordination of development actions at the territorial level, assistance and advice in municipal and inter-municipal affairs, as provided for in the legal texts governing their work Support local actors in the INDH ecosystem to ensure the development of skills related to the axes of Phase III of the INDH Capitalize, share and disseminate know-how, methods and technical tools for building the capacities of local actors in territorial planning. Summary of sub-programs: Sub-Program 1: is called "Technical assistance in the development of decision support tools ", and aims to acquire the methods necessary for the development of strategic decision-making tools (territorial or sectoral diagnoses, development program, GIS, BDD, etc.) and the preparation of target actors for the management and updating these tools, it concerns the actors managing and designing decision-making tools, the collection and entry of territorial data: in particular the heads of circles (presidents of the CLDH),the civil servants (administrators) of the circles in charge of the INDH program and the referents of the DAS. Sub-Program 2: relating to "Management techniques for territorial development programs and projects "aims to improve the necessary skills, target actors, to build, lead and evaluate a territorial development project and mainly targetsINDH program managers at the provincial/prefectural level, Heads of circles or their representatives as well as civil servants (administrators) of the circles in charge of INDH. Sub-Program 3 is called "Social and solidarity economy ", provides the keys to the analysis needed to understand the local economic context and the local fabric of the SSE, to apprehend and apply the territorial approach and its support tools put in place by the INDH for the development of SSE at the local level, These training workshops target the heads of provincial and prefectural services (DAS) in charge of Program 3 “income improvement, economic inclusion of young people through the SSE” as well as the presidents of CLDH. These actors are involved, taking into account the objectives and specificities of Program 3 of the INDH, in the realization and success of this type of project in their territories (Cercles/Provinces/prefectures). These same actors, in addition to the permanent support of cooperatives, associations, young project leaders, local economic actors...in their territories, must ensure the operational monitoring and the continuous evaluation of the achievements of the actions. Preliminary work and Activities carried out in consultation with the CN-INDH Central Team Prior work of the Targa Teams (May and June 2021) Reflection workshops and working meetings on the development of the performance, skills and capacities of the INDH ecosystem for the achievement of the strategic objectives of Phase III; Consultation and enrichment of training plans for CLDH presidents and possibly DAS structures; Explain the strategic orientations of Phase III of the INDH, the missions of its governance bodies at the local level, and the breakdown of these orientations into competences; Validation of the content of the 3 Sub-Programs and the CRP Modules (May 2021).

The Citizen Municipality Label Project - LCC is part of the development and promotion of good practices of participatory and inclusive territorial governance. The LCC is intended to be a self-assessment mechanism for the different practices of the communes and provides for improvement and learning measures, it awards the community a distinction which rewards and values the efforts made to improve its methods of management. The project specifically aims to: Encourage municipalities to take stock of their governance practices and identify the areas in which they need progress and/or support; Plan measures to strengthen and promote better use of resources to improve the quality of public services and the impact of policies and projects; Strengthen the reputation of the municipality and its potential for mobilizing additional resources; Improve communication and trust between the population and municipal decision-makers. Expected results : Result 1: Presidents, elected officials and municipal staff informed and made aware of the system of the Label Commune Citoyenne; The objective through these workshops is to raise awareness among presidents, council members and municipal officials on the process of the common citizen label, the tools for its implementation and the approach to follow. To achieve this result, the AMPCC with the support of Targa-aide will launch awareness campaigns on the benefits of the presidents of the municipalities by organizing one or more workshops to start the process according to the circumstances available. Result 2: 66 municipalities identified after two calls for demonstrations separated in time They will be identified among the municipalities made aware of the LCC at the launch of the project and those who wish to join voluntarily. It should be noted that the call for demonstrations may be extended or renewed in the event of weak and insufficient feedback from municipalities wishing to participate in the process. Result 3: The self-assessment of municipalities carried out The self-assessment phase of the communes on the LCC is the most important of the process, it consists of a recognition of the performances and an identification of the weak points or insufficiencies of the commune with a view to planning concrete improvement measures in terms of of good governance. The training sessions will be led by the ET trained to monitor and support the municipalities registered in the process. Result 4: Labeling of municipalities that will meet the LCC criteria Among the 66 municipalities participating in the labeling process, municipalities will be labeled Citizen Municipality on the basis of the criteria defined above. The municipalities that have not obtained the said label will be called upon to follow an improvement plan to be labeled. Sub-result 4.1: Self-assessment of the verified municipalities Upon receipt of the self-assessment files from the 66 municipalities, whether from the first or second batch of calls for demonstrations. The Accreditation Committee (National Platform) through its LCC Coordination Committee examines its admissibility. If the municipality does not manage to remedy its shortcomings, the LCC process may come to a halt. When the file is admissible, the Technical Team (ET), on behalf of the Accreditation Committee, carries out its verification visit in the field. Sub-result 4.2: Deliberation; attribution or not of the Label At this stage, the Coordination Committee carries out the final examination of the municipality's file, taking into consideration the report produced by the ET. The Accreditation Committee, after having deliberated, decides whether or not to award the Label. Result 5: Non-certified municipalities are supported in the implementation of their improvement plans. It is a question of proposing improvement plans for the municipalities which do not meet the principles of the LCC, in this case the municipalities which have not had the LCC. These improvement plans are drawn up in-situ in coordination with the municipalities and with the support of ET. They will make it possible to take stock of existing practices, plan, implement improvement measures and monitor them with a view to sustainability. Sub-Result 5.1: Training of non-certified municipalities for upgrading based on the improvement plan. In the light of the results of the self-assessment and the external verification of the municipalities (verification report), training actions will be scheduled to support the non-certified municipalities in the implementation of their improvement plan. Sub-Result 5.2: Deliberation; attribution or not of the Label Once the improvement plan is executed, municipalities can request an evaluation again. In the case of admissibility, it will be followed by a field visit and a deliberation of the accreditation committee for the awarding of the LCC label or not. Result 6: Evaluation of the labeling system for its generalization. Sub-Result 6.1: Monitoring and evaluation of the system with the presidents, the local elected officials This involves carrying out one or more internal mid-term evaluation workshops with the participation of the various project beneficiaries (66 municipalities). This workshop will assess the progress of the project and highlight the first recommendations for adjusting the approach for a possible generalization to all the municipalities of Morocco. Sub-Result 6.2: Organization of two workshops to exchange experiences and best practices The AMPCC and Targa-Aide will organize two workshops, one mid-term and the second at the end of the project. These workshops will be a space dedicated to the exchange of experiences and good practices and an opportunity to communicate on the achievements of the project. Progress of activities during the year 2021 Based on the results of the meeting of the coordination committee held on February 3, 2021, it was decided to postpone the launch of the call for demonstrations after the elections (September 2021) and the constitution of the next municipal council offices. Thus, the period preceding this launch will be used to review and update the various tools such as awareness and communication of the process with the municipalities. To do this, the coordination committee appointed a small technical team made up of a representative of the DGCT, a representative of the AMPCC and a representative of Targa-aide. Her mission was to review and update all LCC tools in accordance with the current context (change in the way of working following the Covid pandemic) and taking into account the laws and procedures that are in force. . 15 work meetings took place, due to an average of two hours of work per meeting. Two meetings were devoted to raising awareness and popularizing the LCC process with AMPCC and DGCT executives. Thus, the work of the technical committee flows as follows: Revision and Update of the Self-assessment sheet To begin this activity, two elements were taken into consideration, the distinction between structuring questions and short-term questions. - Structuring: these are the questions that will be asked at any time during the term of the Municipal Council; - Economic: these are the questions that depend on the moments and the context of the mandate of the Municipal Council. 1.1 Substantive aspects Reorganization of the sheet by entry “mission” of the municipality [Political bodies and governance bodies; Resource management; Services to the public and relations with citizens and civil society; equipment, infrastructure and sustainable development; Cooperation and partnership.]; Addition of questions relating to the “Innovation” principle; Addition of questions relating to the management of risks (prevention) and crises (response) disasters; Addition of questions relating to digitization and the digital transition; Addition of questions relating to the right of access to information; Reformulate and adapt certain questions with the start of the mandate of the current municipal councils; Match the content of the form with the legal texts in force; Revise the grammatical wording of the self-assessment content. 1.2 Form-related aspects Addition of a General introduction (context, information method, etc.); Merged or deleted some questions; Group the questions in a sequential manner Table: number of questions by area (urban/rural) after the corrections made 2 . Revision and Update of other tools 1.1 - Prerequisites sheet , Reformulation of certain questions to adapt to the new mandate of municipal councils; 1.2 - CV-institutional sheet of the municipality , Clarifications and rectifications of certain socio-economic indicators with reference indicators; 1.3 - Good practices sheet , Formulation and insertion of the good practices sheet in the labeling process 1.4 - Methodological guides , Adapt the methodological guides (labeling guide and self-assessment guide) with the changes made to the LCC questionnaires; 1.5 - Clarify the steps and procedures to be followed for the granting of the Label. 1.6 Restructuring and verification of stages to follow in the labeling process 1.7 - Prepare a global document for the project Diagram: stages of the labeling process after revision List: labeling tools after review and verification LCC presentation Letter of expression of interest from the municipality Call for expressions of interest Prerequisites sheet Focal point workbook Labeling guide Self-Assessment Guide Self-assessment sheet Sheet of the Institutional Curriculum Vitae of the municipality Characterization sheet of good practices and innovations Self-assessment scoring grid (rural/urban) Schedule of the verification mission List of documents to consult (common level) Structure of the audit engagement report General Self-Assessment Scoring Guide Structure of the action plan report tracking system Communication support (site, capsules, leaflets). 3 . Preparation of communication media In order to communicate on the labeling process, communication media have been developed with the following objectives: Provide information on the process and procedures for joining the LCC; Promote the LCC system to municipalities to encourage their support. Thus three main tools have been produced: Brochure to publicize and present the system to municipalities and other organizations; Putting the LCC site online, which will make the LCC system known, promote interaction between the member municipalities and the project leaders and disseminate good practices in terms of good governance; 3.Production of two capsules: the first for the promotion of the LCC project and the second is for popularization of the labeling process.

Morocco and India have embarked on similar models of agricultural development. These models are based on intensive water use and the transfer of this water from low value-added food crops to high-value export crops and the extension of irrigation boundaries. These water transfers are strongly encouraged by both governments through grants and other types of support and are part of a green growth model that is rooted in the belief that sustainability, which manifests itself most visibly through the use of efficient and modern water management technologies such as drip irrigation, can be combined with agricultural intensification. However, the experiments conducted so far call this assumption into question. Indeed, studies show increasing competition for water resources and the rapid expansion of groundwater use, leading to a significant drop in groundwater levels. This endangers the livelihoods of millions of rural people. In addition, the production of high-value crops relies on cheap and flexible labor, much of which is provided by women, who are generally poor, which restructures labor and property relations along hierarchies. existing between the sexes. In summary, current paths of agricultural intensification in India and Morocco appear both unsustainable and inequitable. Given these changes, the project aims to shed light on the social and ecological impacts of water-based agricultural growth models. It examines how contemporary processes of agricultural intensification in both countries are altering the (gendered) relations of agricultural production, particularly in relation to access to land and labour, focusing both on the relations between different people and those between people and water. To do this, it is first of all a question of examining in depth the different possible configurations of agriculture and water use and their respective dispositions in terms of gender in two regions confronted with agricultural dynamics. water-intensive (the Draa Valley in south-eastern Morocco, and the state of Maharashtra). The results obtained will then be used to produce a range of stories of change. By documenting how different rural actors creatively renegotiate the rules of the game for their own use, thereby reimagining agricultural identities and practices, we hope to diversify and pluralize imaginings of future pathways for agricultural development models, granting special attention to those that are durable and just. Furthermore, by developing teaching materials and providing on-the-job training to Moroccan Masters students, we wish to familiarize students with these rich heterogeneities and complexities of the field. Finally, our project aims to establish a South-South network of sustainable rural transformations with a particular focus on gender. Our purpose is to improve critical knowledge in order to identify and collectively mobilize support for alternatives to the currently dominant agricultural development models based on intensive water use. . Progress of the project and achievement of objectives: Objective 1: Strengthening of knowledge on the gendered impacts of water-based agricultural development models in the countries participating in the project and elsewhere. 1. Field visits and remote fieldwork After the relaxation of restrictive measures linked to the spread of the pandemic in 2021, we were able to carry out two field missions. We thus carried out a field mission in April 2021. During this stay, we addressed two main themes: The dynamics created by the production of watermelon in the extensions of the oases of the Draa Valley. We thus explored the following themes: i- the different categories of farmers practicing agriculture in the extensions, including foreign "Berranis" from different regions of Morocco, ii- the interest of young people in the cultivation of watermelons, iii- the economic and environmental impacts of watermelon (including a drop in the groundwater level), iv- the mobilization of local populations, on the initiative of young people, to deal with these impacts and prevent foreigners from settling in them. Role of women within the family farm: through this axis we have explored how roles and tasks are distributed within the farm as well as the decision-making process. Our preliminary results have shown how the place of the woman within the family farm is central since she is responsible for several tasks and activities, both domestic (meal preparation, cleaning, etc.) and agricultural (cutting the alfalfa, sorting dates, etc.). Following on from the field mission carried out in April, we have launched remote fieldwork: · A follow-up of the various rural actors contacted during the first fieldwork with semi-structured interviews. We have started a second series of telephone interviews with different rural actors. This allowed us to understand how they apprehend their future under COVID and what effects the drought has on their daily lives and on agriculture? These interviews showed that the drought had a greater impact on the inhabitants of the valley than the pandemic. Indeed, the drought meant that the palm tree, central element of the economy of the oasis, did not produce this year. Crops such as alfalfa and cereals have been abandoned due to lack of water among some farmers. · A gender and water survey of about twenty women in the oases of the Draa Valley. This survey allowed us to better understand the different possible configurations of agricultural exploitation, water use and the resulting gender arrangements, as well as their ecological and social impacts. In June 2021, we carried out another field mission. During this stay, we delved deeper into the changes that have affected gender relations and social roles in recent years. We conducted a total of 9 interviews, 7 with women and 2 with men in different oases of the valley. This allowed us to explore the different activities and aspirations of women and men and how they are affected by the various agrarian, social and water changes that have affected the valley for several years. Indeed, while young men engage or aspire to engage in agricultural projects or projects related to agriculture (installation of drip systems, solar pumping, etc.), young women engage in processing of agricultural products (dates for example) and crafts. 2. Organization and supervision of a collective internship in the Draa Valley During the week of November 14 to 20, 2021, we organized a collective internship for the benefit of students of the Master Institutions and Social Organizations of the FLSH faculty (Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences Ain Chock, Casablanca) in the Drâa Valley . The students organized themselves into five groups and carried out empirical work around the following themes: 1) the management of irrigation water, 2) the functioning of the family farm, 3) mobility and migration, 4) young people rural areas, work and aspirations and 5) political competition and electoral campaigning. During the last day of the internship, the students returned, in the form of role plays, their research results. 3. Visibility of the project through social media A facebook page dedicated to the project has been created:https://www.facebook.com/DUPC2 . It allows us to share our thoughts and raise public awareness around the various themes of the project and to communicate instantly around our various activities and publications. It also serves as a platform to interact with events organized by other organizations related to our project. Objective 2: Changing the political discourse around agricultural development pathways based on “stories of change” The discussion and analysis of the empirical data collected has been the subject of several scientific and popular publications as well as scientific communications at several conferences and workshops. Our research themes have thus interested various media who have contacted us to document the situation of oasis areas, particularly in relation to the issues of water use, drought and the impact of Covid on rural communities. . These articles receive positive echoes and allow public opinion to become aware of oasis issues. Our themes have also interested the scientific community and activists for social and ecological justice with whom we shared our results in a communication during a conference entitled "Ecological justice, social justice and green movements" organized by the Faculty of Arts and of Human Sciences, Cadi Ayyad University. Marrakesh. In addition, we are in the process of developing stories of change: three drawings (in the finalization phase) and 2 video clips (editing phase) that highlight different themes related to gender and gender-based agricultural development. intensive use of water. Objective 3: Strengthened knowledge capacity on gender and alternative modes of agricultural development models in the project countries and elsewhere During this year, there was a collaboration with a new Algerian team. Thanks to this new collaboration, fieldwork has been launched in Algeria. Thus, as part of the project, they carried out a three-week exploratory field, between March and April, in order to familiarize themselves with "gender" relations in terms of access to water and agricultural practices. The Moroccan team held regular meetings with the other project teams (Indian, Algerian and Dutch). During these meetings, the various members exchange their results in the field and together lead a reflection on gender and alternative models of agricultural development, hence the dissemination of knowledge on an international scale. Sharing of results and knowledge through two podcasts involving researchers from different countries and students working on water issues. These include: 1- Podcast and blog post on "Stories of impacts of Covid-19 on smallholder farmers and emerging new perspectives"https://thewaterchannel.tv/thewaterblog/the-women-the-land-and-the-virus/?fbclid=IwAR3mGVNpkQPXlu2I6_OfaS1ohCbyiMCrub4kL2VuRmXExwSK5U3YLZd_08c 2- The T2GS podcast on the theme: “Implications of Covid-19 for small-scale agriculture in Algeria, India and Morocco” 3- https://soundcloud.com/user-378471398/episode-2-implications-of-covid-19-for-small-scale-agriculture-in-algeria-india-and-morocco?utm_source=tpa.wixapps.net&utm_campaign =wtshare&utm_medium=widget&utm_content=https%253A%252F%252Fsoundcloud.com%252Fuser-378471398%252Fepisode-2-implications-of-covid-19-for-small-scale-agriculture-in-algeria-india-and -Morocco In an effort to popularize, the researchers led four sessions on the theme of the adaptation of oases to global warming for the benefit of students from the Anatole France college. Organization of an online session live from the field with farmers and sociology students from Hassan II University, Casablanca. The students had the opportunity to discuss and interview 2 young farmers engaged in the cultivation of watermelons. In total, the students asked 80 questions. The class was facilitated by Zakaria Kadiri during one of the field visits. Facilitation of training on gender for the benefit of the project team (https://massire.net/ ) around the theme of gender and agrarian dynamics.

This project to implement economic, social and solidarity activities in the provinces of Figuig, Boulmane, Ouezzane, Khenifra and Sidi Bennour is part of the implementation of the framework agreement signed on February 05, 2021 between the TARGA-AIDE association and the national coordination of the INDH. The purpose of this framework agreement is to support the Provincial Human Development Committees (CPDH) in these provinces for the implementation of Program III of the National Human Development Initiative (INDH). It is a question of supporting and accompanying the work of the Provincial Committee for Economic Development (CPDE) aimed at the economic inclusion of disadvantaged populations, particularly young people and women. This approach is developed through the promotion of the Social and Solidarity Economy and support for value chains while being based on the implementation of approaches to promote the Economy and Local Development at the level of each target province. . Project objectives INDH Program III aims to guarantee post- and pre-creation support for project leaders meeting the eligibility criteria in connection with the previously identified and analyzed value chains. The overall objective is to develop local economic activities with strong potential for growth and development and to contribute to the creation of employment opportunities for young people. To achieve this overall objective, four specific / immediate objectives have been defined, these are: Specific objective n°1: The improvement of the synergy and the convergence of the initiatives of the key actors of the economic development at the provincial level through the reinforcement of the dialogue and the communication, in particular with the local authorities of the INDH and the persons in charge sectoral; Specific objective n°2: The promotion of promising value chains, through a strategic process based on expertise and the involvement of actors; Specific objective n°3: The emergence of economically viable projects in response to the needs of project leaders and the specificities of the territory; Specific objective n°4: Support for the implementation of SSE projects that have been selected and planned. The expected results : Deployment and training of the team. Progress of activities in the provinces: The activities carried out to date in the provinces of Boulemane, Sidi Bennour, Figuig, Ouezzane and Khénifra are as follows: Program kick-off meetings in provincial headquarters and signing of specific implementation contracts; Development of chronograms of activities relating to each province; Meetings to follow up on the recommendations made during the launch workshop; Realization of the field diagnosis which aims to identify income and job generating opportunities and which defines the framework conducive to the emergence of private initiatives in the productive sectors, namely agriculture, agro-food , forest products, crafts, tourism, etc. Meeting with service providers and youth platform managers; Field visit, identification and contact with project leaders; CPDE meetings and identification of needs in terms of working tools and capacity building using a questionnaire designed specifically for this purpose; Launch of sector diagnoses/VCT at the level of the circles, development of SSE questionnaires, visits to the circles, consultation with the departments concerned; Submission of diagnostic deliverables of promising sectors and value chains to the Province. OUTLOOK The year 2021 is coming to an end, giving way to new perspectives, including the development of a roadmap for CPDE capacity building, but also a proposal for an action plan to promote SSE value chains (bottlenecks bottlenecks, objectives, flagship actions, monitoring indicators) and an advocacy strategy for carrying out the flagship actions for value chains. To do this, several field missions across the provinces will be devoted, among other things, to meeting SSE project leaders through the organization of focus groups for exchange and sharing around issues concerning their activities. Several capacity building trainings will also be organized from the beginning of January for members of the CPDE.

Support program for the establishment of integrated action plans for the reduction of social and territorial disparities Following the observation of His Majesty King Mohammed VI made in his speech to the nation on July 30, 2015 on the occasion of the Throne Day: "Despite the progress made by our country, what saddens me is this situation of precariousness experienced by some of our fellow citizens in remote and landlocked regions, especially on the peaks of the Atlas and the Rif, the arid Saharan areas and the oases, as well as certain villages in the plains and on the coasts. We are aware of the extent of the deficit that has accumulated over decades in these regions, despite all the initiatives and all the efforts that have been made. This is why, as soon as We assumed the mission of leading you, dear people, We took an oath before God to spare no effort to improve the lot of the populations of these regions, and to alleviate their sufferings. And to the royal announcement made in the same speech: "In order to guarantee the success of such an ambitious social project, We invite the government to establish an integrated action plan, based on the partnership between the various ministerial departments and the institutions concerned, with a view to finding the means of financing the projects and define a precise timetable for their implementation." A support program for the Program for the Reduction of Territorial and Social Disparities (PRDTS) has been initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, Rural Development, Water and Forests (MAPMDREF) and the Ministry of Interior (MI) in partnership with the National Agency for Land Conservation, Cadastre and Cartography (ANCFCC) and the Targa-Aide association . It is part of a logic of territorialization of the communes, by the production of a set of communal data and by the mastery of the knowledge of all the local resources, in order to establish a territorial diagnosis of the national rural space. The data thus produced will constitute a capital of knowledge and decision support to be exploited on an ongoing basis insofar as simple monitoring and updating processes are ensured. Challenges The regional action plans which are called upon to reduce social and territorial disparities must emanate from a methodological approach in order to help development actors territorial in the targeting of the living places of the populations most in need. Implementing such a process throughout the national territory is the first major challenge of this support program. The second major challenge aims to provide the central and regional, or even provincial, governance bodies responsible for implementing this program with an effective approach and tools to carry out objective and transparent territorial arbitration with a view to better monitoring of the impact of the actions of the plan. Intervention zone The target program: 12 Regions; 75 Prefectures and Provinces; 1282 Municipalities with a rural character (geographical environment). The two southern regions will be approached in 2021 after authorization from the Ministry of the Interior. Program Objectives Provide central and regional governance bodies with an approach andpowerful tools for territorial prioritization and targeted programming; Establish adiagnosis of living spaces populations at different territorial scales (from the Douar to the Region or even at the national level) in terms of Accessibility and Quality of basic public services; Identify and measure deficits and territorial and sectoral disparities in order to helpdirection of programming and toA best targeting (territorial and state action); Extend the territorial diagnosis to Centers and Small Towns Approach process taken For territorial diagnosis For the consolidation of territorial and social databases The m updating mechanism, in addition to a user-friendly computer interface, will be accompanied by a methodological manual detailing the updating process and proposing providing appropriate frameworks for updating data by the departments concerned. Program activities The activities of this program are summarized as follows. The overall timeline is attached: Develop territorial diagnoses with cartographic illustrations; Propose a methodology for prioritizing the territories of each region; Build Databases (BDD) with territorial and sectoral entries; Design an online application allowing the collection, processing and updating of territorial data; Establish territorial cartographic atlases. Organization and deployment of human resources In order to ensure the start of the program as soon as the partnership agreement is reached, an organization chart adapted to the specificities of the activities has been designed organizing the deployment of the necessary human resources. This organization is made up of central units located at Targa's headquarters in Rabat, and local/regional teams based in ten of the country's twelve regions. Each regional team is made up of a Regional Coordinator (RC), Prefectural/Provincial Coordinators (CP) who occupy an office in each province or prefecture, and two engineers specializing in cartography and database management. The regional team has an office located in the administrative capitals of each region, equipped with all the logistics necessary for operational autonomy. These spaces are used as a workplace by the RC and the engineers, and also serve as offices during Provinces/Region or Rabat/Region meetings. D ALISATIONS 2021 Crossing of the database of Targa localities with that of the HCP; Design of the new Database: a “thematic” focused database and sharing of the database with our partners; Installation of the new Database and training of administrators; Finalization of the preschool survey; Constitution of a “district” database within centers and small towns; Production and publication of infrastructure maps of “Communes” and “Cercles” in French and Arabic for the entire territory concerned by the study Establishment and publication of the diagnostic report on the state of play of the provinces / prefectures at the regional level and of the circles at the provincial level; Updating and updating of the road network and the location of establishments and localities after the delivery of territorial maps (municipality and circle); Creation of a preliminary scoring grid for the centres; Simulation of programming 21 on the inventory drawn up, production of a simulated classification to help with the orientation of programming 2022. Realization of needs after simulation of PA22 in roads and schooling. 2022 OUTLOOK Implementation of the data updating system (at Circle level); Publication of diagnostic reports on the state of play of the provinces: dealing with the rural areas of the circles as well as the polarity of the urban areas that surround them; Establishment of a global ranking of small towns and centers (delimited/in the making) based on the supply of public and private facilities; Production of maps at different territorial scales (municipalities, circles and provinces) following the new data update; Closing of the remaining field surveys (preschool, ESS appendix, etc.)
