Abstract
The Morocco Social Priorities Program
incorporates three complementary projects, one of which is
the Basic Health Project. These projects are being
implemented simultaneously in the 14 poorest provinces, in
which 27 percent of the total population and 43 percent of
the rural population live. The overall objectives of the
Social Priorities Project are to assist the government to
implement its strategy to increase access of the poor to
basic social services, enhance social protection, and create
new opportunities for the poor to participate in
economically productive activities. Social Development best
practices were recognized as: the multi-dimensional
approach to poverty reduction aimed at enhancing
opportunities, capabilities, empowerment, and security of
the poor; Participatory processes in implementation;
organizational and institutional decentralization; and
ongoing monitoring and evaluation of social development
outcomes by the government and community.
