King enquires about results, action program of INDH central Morocco

King Mohammed VI enquired, Saturday, about the results and the action program of the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH), launched in mid-2005 to fight poverty and social exclusion, and the transverse program for the period 2005-2008 in the central city of Missour. Some USD 7Mn were earmarked to implement programs aimed at promoting socio-cultural activities and access to basic services in the target communes, encouraging income-generating activities, and revamping social centers for the disabled and children in harsh living conditions. As part of the emergency plan (2005), a total of 69 socio-economic projects that aim at fighting poverty in the rural areas were carried out, worth USD 2.7Mn. These projects have benefited some 98,358 people. Six other projects were implemented to expand the social center for the disabled and build another, along with a center for children in harsh living conditions, worth some USD 800,000. As far as the transverse program (2006-2007) is concerned, 54 projects were implemented to promote socio-cultural activities, targeting a population numbering 28,777 people, for USD 1.5Mn. The king later launched construction works of a USD 200,000-worth multidisciplinary social center in the city. Built on an area of 2500 sqm, the center will be ready within 10 months.
