The New Development Model, presented Tuesday to HM King Mohammed VI, aims to “transform” Morocco, university professor and member of the Ad-hoc Committee on the Development Model (CSMD) Rachid Benzine said.
This new model is a “roadmap” that outlines the main guidelines of development of the Kingdom in all areas for the next fifteen years, Benzine told MAP.
It is a model that will lead to a “real transformation” of Morocco, he noted, adding that all institutions are called upon to take part in it as well as the population.
The new development model is an “attainable vision” in Morocco, which requires the establishment of a “pact” between all the Nation’s forces, notably political parties, economic actors, national institutions, civil society associations, and the population in order to “address the systemic and complex challenges” facing the country, he added.
This project also intends to improve the quality of people’s lives while involving them in the implementation of all projects through a horizontal policy that places the citizen at the heart of its interests, he explained, noting that this development model “can only succeed if there is a real effort to explain and communicate to the citizens the vision of this model to obtain their full support for the project.
According to the university professor, the new model will also bring a change in the relationship between institutions and citizens, placing the citizen as a “stakeholder in the success of this social project where initiatives must start from the ground, supported by institutions.”
To address all these challenges, Benzine highlighted the need to set up a body in charge of ensuring the consistency of all policies that are conducted in Morocco and monitor their implementation every five years.
