This project to implement economic, social and solidarity activities in the provinces of Figuig, Boulmane, Ouezzane, Khenifra and Sidi Bennour   is part of the implementation of the framework agreement signed on February 05, 2021 between the TARGA-AIDE association and the national coordination of the INDH. The purpose of this framework agreement is to support the Provincial Human Development Committees (CPDH) in these provinces for the implementation of Program III of the National Human Development Initiative (INDH). It is a question of supporting and accompanying the work of the Provincial Committee for Economic Development (CPDE) aimed at the economic inclusion of disadvantaged populations, particularly young people and women.

 

This approach is developed through the promotion of the Social and Solidarity Economy and support for value chains while being based on the implementation of approaches to promote the Economy and Local Development at the level of each target province. .

 

Project objectives

 

INDH Program III aims to guarantee post- and pre-creation support for project leaders meeting the eligibility criteria in connection with the previously identified and analyzed value chains.

  • Specific objective n°3: The emergence of economically viable projects in response to the needs of project leaders and the specificities of the territory;

OUTLOOK

 

The year 2021 is coming to an end, giving way to new perspectives, including the development of a roadmap for CPDE capacity building, but also a proposal for an action plan to promote SSE value chains (bottlenecks bottlenecks, objectives, flagship actions, monitoring indicators) and an advocacy strategy for carrying out the flagship actions for value chains. To do this, several field missions across the provinces will be devoted, among other things, to meeting SSE project leaders through the organization of focus groups for exchange and sharing around issues concerning their activities. Several capacity building trainings will also be organized from the beginning of January for members of the CPDE.
