Morocco - Remarkable achievements in economic and social development

New York (United Nations) - Morocco's achievements in the area of development over the past ten years have been remarkable, said Simon Serfaty, director of the international institute for strategic studies.

"Morocco's achievements over the past ten years have been remarkable in every respect," he told MAP on the sidelines of a meeting on the MDGs.

He said the Kingdom’s accomplishments at the level of the MDGs and economic development can make Morocco a world "hub of influence."

The meeting examined the interdependence between MDGs and economic growth as well as development, with lessons from Morocco's experience.

Morocco's INDH
The National Initiative for Human Development (INDH) has had a "very impressive" effect in Morocco, said William Zartman, professor at Johns Hopkins university in Washington.

"The changes brought about in Morocco as part of the INDH, launched in 2005 by HM King Mohammed VI are very impressive," the US expert said in a meeting in New York on the MDGs.

For Zartman, "Morocco's most important accomplishments" have been made particularly in the areas of rural development and primary education.

"These results are very telling," he said, citing the "significant changes" and "far-reaching reforms" undertaken by the Kingdom.

The meeting, held on the sidelines of the 65th session of the UN General Assembly, examined several issues related to interdependence between the MDGs and economic growth and development, with lessons from the Moroccan experience.
