The Swiss NGO, which enjoys consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) welcomed "with satisfaction the first agreements on the adoption of a holistic strategy for the generalization of social, socio-vocational and health protection."

"This substantial overhaul of the architecture, system and ecosystem of governance, almost unprecedented in scope, is likely to ensure inclusion and social cohesion essential to the dynamism of economic circuits," Moroccan-Swiss expert Noureddine Obbad told MAP.

PDES "has always emphasized the considerable importance given by HM the King to social areas, for the benefit of the most vulnerable," Obbad, one of the founders of the NGO stated, describing these social protection measures as "both humane, redistributive and historically appropriate."

For this expert and author of a series of books on development, the opening of the social sector to foreign expertise and investment "reflects the Royal will for the preservation of the dignity of Moroccans while giving prospects for improvement in the field of health both in terms of quality and volume."

"Morocco demonstrates through this new social advance its status among the most credible and reforming countries in the new geopolitical context, for the benefit of its citizens and international partners," he added.

"As representatives of civil society, we are delighted once again for this umpteenth transformative step of the Moroccan society on the way to the consecration of all rights, including the rights to care and social coverage, the integration of the informal in a sustainable and equitable," Obbad said.

"With this large-scale social project, Morocco fits into the modern dynamic of the most effective social coverage model," he concluded.
