This agreement takes place in application of the High Royal guidelines contained in the two speeches on the occasion of the Throne Day and the opening of the legislative year 2020, calling for the generalization of social coverage to all Moroccans.
It aims to establish a framework to define the commitments of the signatory parties in terms of the generalization of the basic AMO for the benefit of recipiants, subject to the regime of the single professional contribution, the regime of self-employed or the accounting system, which will benefit nearly 800,000 members.
The agreement was signed by Abdelouafi Laftit, minister of Interior, Mohamed Benchaaboun, minister of Economy, Finance and Administration Reform, Khalid Ait Taleb, minister of Health, Moulay Hafid Elalamy, minister of Industry, Trade and Green and Digital Economy, Nadia Fettah Alaoui, minister of Tourism, Handicrafts, Air Transport and Social Economy.
It was also signed by Mohamed Amekraz, minister of Labor and Vocational Integration, Chakib Alj, President of the Moroccan Employers' Body (CGEM), Houcine Alioua, 1st vice president of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Services, and Sidati Chaggaf, president of the Federation of Chambers of Crafts.
Indeed, the State is committed to taking all legislative and institutional measures to implement the AMO in favor of beneficiaries, to develop aspects related to the management and governance of the CNSS in order to accompany the launch of this health insurance and to upgrade the national health system.
It also undertakes to provide services and a basket of care similar to those enjoyed by private sector employees under the basic AMO, as well as to establish the necessary mechanisms for the transfer of contributions under the complementary fees provided for in the 2021 appropriation bill for beneficiaries.
In addition, awareness-raising initiatives will be carried out to explain all aspects related to AMO, to support the federation's and the coordination's initiatives to sensitize and accompany beneficiaries to register for health insurance and the Single Professional Contribution (CPU) scheme.
In return, the Federation of Moroccan Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Services and the Federation of Chambers of Handicrafts undertake to encourage beneficiaries to join the CPU and the AMO, by providing the necessary logistical support to accompany the beneficiaries and by taking the necessary measures to facilitate a wide adherence to these systems.
This also includes the organization of awareness and communication campaigns to highlight the advantages of the CPU and the AMO, as well as training sessions for beneficiaries.
