The project to create a green belt around the city of Ouarzazate was presented to King Mohamed VI during his visit in 2007. Welcomed with enthusiasm, this initiative perfectly meets the kingdom's international commitments and its national policy. It is part of an integrated sustainable development that promotes long-term effects. It also responds to Sustainable Development Goals 6, 13 and 15 (SDGs) defined by the United Nations, particularly with regard to the policies put in place to: Guarantee access for all to managed […] sanitation services sustainably; Take urgent action to combat climate change; Preserve and restore terrestrial ecosystems […] fight against desertification […] put an end to the loss of biodiversity. The subject of an agreement between the Ministry of the Interior, the Provincial Council and the High Commission for Water and Forests, the general objectives of the project therefore include environmental, climatic and socio-economic issues of vital importance for the inhabitants. from the city. This is to contribute to:protect the city against desertification and strong winds;Create recreational spaces for the population ;Optimizing the use of water for irrigation . The belt area encompasses the outskirts of the city of Ouarzazate, the banks of the Mansour Eddahbi dam lake and some spaces inside the city. Of the approximately 2000 hectares initially planned, only 635 hectares will finally be retained after three years of the launch of the initiative. After a series of technical studies and consultations between project stakeholders, a global reframing was approved around two main elements: Decrease in the area of plots dedicated to plantations and gradual introduction of the use of treated wastewater discharged by STEP. A new irrigation architecture The memorandum of understanding signed between UNEP, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and the Forest Service of South Korea called "Partnership for Greening Drylands on Forest Rehabilitation, Conservation Biodiversity and Sustainable Land Management” has as its first pilot project “Biodiversity Conservation and Community Development through Tree Planting”. This pilot project first covers three African countries: Morocco, Tunisia and Ghana for the period 2012-2015. A second phase 2015-2018 will include Benin and Ethiopia. The Forest Service of South Korea provides financial support to the project under the initiative of Changwon. It will be in this context that Targa integrates the project of realization of the green belt of Ouarzazate by signing a cooperation agreement in 2012 with the UNEP. This involves setting up a solar pumping system for treated wastewater for the irrigation of the green belt. Favorably received, this initiative initiates a strategic change and gives the project a strongecological added value insofar as the wastewater of an arid city is recovered and purified in compliance with environmental standards to be then reused in the irrigation of the green belt and recreational areas and this by solar pumping only. In addition to this technical challenge of rethinking the entire irrigation system, there are two other innovative components in the device allowing rational and optimized management of purified water: a modern weather station for data collection and a remote management system via a powerful digital application. The complete architecture of the irrigation system is reviewed and the necessary resizings are gradually implemented by the Targa teams. They support the realization of this new configuration on a daily basis through the design, installation and management of the solar-powered irrigation system. At the end of the third phase of the project, some 635 hectares will be irrigated by this new device. In the medium and long term, the effects will be multiplied both on the irrigated area and on the environment and biodiversity of the region. The same applies to the social and economic prospects of the city. ​ ​ ​ ​ Technical achievements: ·Installation of pumping stations (head station): The pumping station with a filtration system was initially to consist of two pumping units fulfilling the need for three plots of the project. However, the cost turned out to be high compared to the estimated budget. An intermediate two-phase purchase solution was adopted. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ . Installation of the photovoltaic field The installation work of the photovoltaic field at the level of the Anatim perimeter required earthworks and preparation of the foundations supporting the metal frame and the installation of the tubing for the power cables between the technical room and the field. photovoltaic. As the work progressed, relocations of the panels were carried out according to the needs expressed, the operation of the two pumps and the rotary filter required the installation of 120 photovoltaic panels. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ . Installation of a suction tarp The impurities contained in the recovered water cause malfunctions in the drip system and more particularly in the water valves. The latter are clogged and cause a break in the flow of water to the plants. The installation of a suction cover near the pool was therefore necessary to accommodate a filtration system adapted to this unforeseen situation. It is a room dug into the ground and made watertight. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Casing of the basin of the suction tank. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Casing of the walls of the filtration station. · Installation of a rotary filter ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The suction cover accommodates this filter equipped with a rotating drum. It soaks in the water to be filtered which arrives from the basin. Its wall, covered with a porous layer, traps solid impurities. A blade scrapes the drum at a distance to remove solid residue as it goes, while maintaining effective wall porosity. The water thus filtered is sucked up by the pumps and then sent back to the main pipes and then to the drop by drop. · Setting up a weather station Installed at the foot of the STEP, the station allows the measurement of the surrounding climatic parameters every 10 minutes. These parameters include temperature, air humidity, wind speed and direction, rainfall and solar radiation. Through these readings, it is a question of centralizing significant measurements on the meteorological state of the sectors, of integrating consumption forecasts, of taking into account operating constraints, and possible savings in electrical energy consumption to ensure optimal overall management. It is a fundamental decision-making aid in irrigation planning. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Currently, this device only concerns the so-called Anatim plot. The results of this first experience will depend on its extension to the entire perimeter of the green belt. Implementation of a remote management system Thanks to this system, the planning and management of the irrigation of the green belt and recreational areas will be done in appropriate and optimal conditions and according to the climatic data provided by the meteorological station. This system thus enables: (i) optimization the mobilization of water in sufficient quantity (ii)the reduction operating costs and network maintenance costs (iii)automation irrigation system facilities (iv) mastery irrigation planning by generating reports, statistical data and balance sheets that help decision-making ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Installation of a nursery The establishment of a nursery of forest seedlings near the green belt was taken on the initiative of the Targa team on land near the perimeter of the Anatim plot. This establishment aims to anticipate the lack of plants by immediate reactivity on site but also to develop new forest areas. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ . The other perimeters of the right bank of the green belt: . Perimeter of Oued R'Bat: Initially, the perimeter of Oued R'Bat was irrigated through diesel pumping (generator), the ambition of the project as well as the cost of diesel pumping a imposed the conversion of diesel pumping to solar pumping ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The Targe association has set up a motor pump unit (Q=42.7 m3 /h) to ensure this operation, the operation of this pump is done through 56 photovoltaic panels. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Perimeter of tasserda: The tasserda perimeter will be irrigated from the Ouad-R'bat perimeter, which required the reinforcement of the PV field at the Ouad R'bat perimeter with 90 panels. The targa association recently deposited the metal frame of the PV field, in addition it supplied the motor pump unit intended for the irrigation of the tasserda perimeter, pending the installation of the photovoltaic panels very soon. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ · .Generalization of the use of wastewater: The generalization of the use of treated wastewater for all the perimeters of the green belt required the supply of two new motor pump units at the level of the head station. In addition, several operations have been finalized concerning the installation of the PV field relating to the two motor pump units, more particularly: Excavation and foundation preparation for the support of the metal structure of the photovoltaic panels; Installation of power cable casings between the technical room and the photovoltaic field; Installation of the warning mesh for the protection of the cables; Preparation of the metal frame of the photovoltaic panels. . Other works: After the laying of the main water supply pipe and the construction of a new technical room at the level of ouad R'bat on the part of the provincial council of the city of Ouarzazate (project partner), the Targa association intervened to ensure the connection of the main pipe with the technical lots of Ouad R'bat and Anatim in order to ensure the pumping of water through the main pipe. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ In addition, the association made some modifications to the secondary pipe located inside the old Anatim technical room, in order to guarantee the pumping of water from the suction tank built in the screen. Field management and monitoring Targa is responsible for setting up the entire solar pumping system. To do so, it uses external service providers for certain works, in particular earthworks, development and construction. Its missions include, among other things, ensuring: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The management of the expenditure of the funds dedicated to the device; The choice and then the purchase of the appropriate equipment; Supervision and monitoring of development works with the service provider; Maintenance of pumping equipment, photovoltaic panels, filtration system as well as the remote management system. Moving equipment (photovoltaic panels, solar pumps, etc.) as needed; Control and supervision of the remote management system provided by the engineer on site; The collection of meteorological data through a specific application; Training and awareness of users in the operation and maintenance of the irrigation system and the remote management system. A manual is provided to the maintenance company. Constraints and difficulties of the terra in Like any pilot project, the implementation of the solar pumping unit faced several difficulties and hazards to which it was necessary to provide answers and find solutions. These obstacles are all lessons to be learned for the rest of the project but also for possible duplications. Some of the difficulties that have caused slowdowns and delays in implementation include: Delays in finalizing calls for service tenders within the implementation deadlines; Few and insufficiently qualified human resources: poor maintenance of the irrigation system impacting the availability of water in sufficient quantity for the irrigation of certain plots; Absence of regulation of pumping at the outlet of the WWTP: farmers (mainly olive-growing) withdraw large quantities for their needs; Slow procedures for obtaining authorizations to lay cabling through private properties. ​ Results achieved and expected in the short and medium term Immediate effects - Solar powered drip irrigation system currently covers Anatim 1 and 2 plots wooded with eucalyptus, tamarix and acacia trees. - The system has also made it possible to create jobs essential to the maintenance and planting of trees ​ - New knowledge and skills in the design, installation and management of a drip irrigation system powered by solar energy are acquired. Short and medium term effects A third phase in progress in the perimeter of Oued R'bat will cover the water needs of 65 Ha. The system should then cover the planned 30 Ha of recreational spaces in the city, then the perimeters of Talat (153 Ha) and the area adjoining the public dump (100 Ha). The expected effects of the implementation of the system should allow the consolidation and then the development of the green belt. These effects are measured from 3 main angles: From an environmental point of view : Effects on greenhouse gases. First of all by reducing their emissions into the atmosphere by adopting solar energy. Then by the retention of these gases by the trees: According to studies, 1 wooded hectare can ensure up to 24 tons of CO2 retained / year; The effects on biodiversity will begin to be felt by the gradual development of a local microclimate (increase in the humidity rate, etc.) From an economic point of view : The economic benefits are analyzed in terms of potential for the creation of income-generating activities (IGA) around the green belt and recreational areas and its direct effects on families. Other positive economic effects in agricultural terms are envisaged: development of agroforestry, olive growing and other crops compatible with the use of treated wastewater. Finally, thanks to land reclamation, the area should attract more and more small investors. In social and educational terms : Recreational spaces bring well-being to the inhabitants. The lack of green spaces that can provide shade and coolness in summer in particular has been reduced. Tours of the belt are organized for local pupils and students. Future generations are made aware of the protection of the environment. Impacts Reduction of the impact of strong winds on the city; Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions Reduction of the energy bill: sustainable renewable energy

With the advent of the new forestry sector strategy "Forests of Morocco 2020-2030" launched by HM King Mohammed VI on February 13, 2020, aiming to make the forestry sector more competitive and sustainable, through an inclusive management model and creator of wealth aimed at placing user populations at the heart of forest management, in order to invest and modernize the core of the profession, in particular the modernization and redeployment of forestry equipment and infrastructure, a corollary of the mobilization of forestry personnel and an improvement in the effectiveness of forestry action, and Considering the pilot experiments carried out in close collaboration by the Department of Water and Forests and the Targa-Aide Association in close collaboration by the Department of Water and Forests and the Targa Association in the implementation of the project to create the green belt of Ouarzazate with the involvement of local actors, and in partnership with UNEP and the field of fish farming at the level of the municipality of Ouneine, province of Taroudant, an agreement partnership framework relating to support for the implementation of the "Forest of Morocco 2020-2030" strategy was signed on 22/10/2020 as well as a specific partnership agreement relating to support for the national program of infrastructure and forestry equipment in Morocco was signed on 01/15/2021. ​ Objectives and expected results ​ Overall objective: The overall objective of the agreement is to produce, in a participatory manner, the tools necessary for the successful development and implementation of the National Forestry Infrastructure and Equipment Program. b- Specific objectives and expected results : Specific objective n°1: The establishment of an inventory and a territorial diagnosis of forestry infrastructure and equipment; Result 1.1: Mapping of forestry infrastructure and equipment. Result 1.2: Participatory territorial diagnosis and inventory of forestry infrastructure and equipment. Specific objective n°2: Establishment of an updatable Geographic Information System of forestry infrastructure and equipment; The breakdown of specific objective No. 2 into expected results is formulated as follows: Result 2.1: Construction of a spatial database to help develop the national forest infrastructure and equipment program (2021-2030). Result 2.2: Establishment of cartographic atlases and inventories of forestry infrastructure and equipment. ​ 2. Status of activities: 1) Institutional launch workshops The main objective of these workshops is to inform key stakeholders of the Department of Water and Forests about the objectives and expected results of the project in order to promote its ownership and implementation in the field. At central level: After the signature of the specific agreement, a first meeting to prepare the terms of the implementation of the project took place on 19/01/20221 at the headquarters of the Directorate of Forestry, Legal Affairs and Litigation (DDFAJC), in order to draw up a schedule of launch workshops for all the Regional Directorates for Water and Forests and the Fight Against Desertification (DRFLCD). These launch workshops were an opportunity to inform and raise the awareness of regional directors and local managers on the consistency of working in partnership and the purpose of the project, as well as to initiate them to start collecting and organizing data relating to : · boundaries of the forest estate (forest buildings); · shapefiles they have (Infrastructures and Forestry Equipment); · history of studies (forestry infrastructure and equipment). This is with the aim of completing the digitization of forestry infrastructure in forestry buildings, verifying the geolocation of forestry equipment and filling in the related diagnostic sheets (equipment and infrastructure questionnaire sheets). In order to ensure the monitoring and implementation of the project, a central project steering committee was formed during the meeting held on 23/02/2021 at the headquarters of the DDFAJC. It is made up of executives from different entities at the central level representing the DDFAJC and the Planning, Information System and Cooperation Department (DPSIC), as well as the Targa-Aide association. The mission of this committee is to provide the appropriate support for carrying out the missions and approving the deliverables. At regional level: The North West forest region was the first region started, as a pilot region, for the implementation of the project. The results emanating from this region have been examined and analyzed in order to take them into account and take into consideration all the improvements and adjustments to be made in the follow-up of the achievements for the rest of the regions. A program of workshops and field trips was drawn up on the basis of the availability of data made available to the DDFAJC by the DREF. These workshops aim to complete and validate the information and data received by the forestry managers of each Provincial Directorate of the North-West DREFLCD. During these workshops, a new updated alphanumeric database of forestry infrastructure and equipment was delivered by the Targa team to the forest managers concerned for completion and verification. A review of the questionnaire sheets for forest tracks and buildings was also carried out before they were entered by the Targa team. Following these workshops, a set of observations and recommendations were made to optimize subsequent visits to the field and to properly target the data to be collected from local managers. Among these recommendations are: ​ The standardization of the shapefile projection system and the choice of WGS 84 for all data Exploitation of current IFDS data and capitalization on existing data The addition of data relating to collective land and state buildings The delivery of the national road shapefile by provincial forest division for validation of the deliverables Standardization of attribute tables and diagnostic sheets and revision of questionnaires. ​ c - Data collection, analysis and processing: The methodology for producing the various products defined within the framework of this partnership was adopted during a series of meetings organized by the central committee. A precise procedural and technical sequencing has been established, as detailed in the document relating to the deliverables appended to the memorandum distributed on this subject. - A quality approach has been formalized to meet the needs expressed in terms of the completeness and precision of the data that will be provided. It was organized on the basis of: (i) the detailed analysis, by the teams of the Targa Association, of the existing and the geolocation in terms of alphanumeric data, their spatial adjustment and their complementation by comparison and digitization on google Earth imagery, ensuring a level of precision highly satisfactory; (ii) validation of the mapping thus finalized, by the various stages of the forest administration, consolidated by filling in the questionnaire sheets for each mapped entity, integrating certain parameters providing information on the quality and quantity of mapped forest roads and equipment. ​ d - Development of deliverables: · Deliverables 1 and 2: A shapefile of forestry tracks and a shapefile of forestry equipment with associated attribute data: For the shapefiles of tracks and forest buildings, 10 BDDs have been made available to Targa by the central committee, of which 09 BDDs are analysed, adjusted and submitted for validation and finalization at the level of the 09 DREFLCDs concerned. These are the BDDs of the DRFLCDs of: 1. North West 2. Rabat-Sale-Zemmour-Zaer 3. Fes-Boulemane 4. Center 5. Oriental 6. rif 7. South West 8. Northeast 9. Middle Atlas There remains the database of the 10th DREF of Tadla-Azilal which is being processed and will be submitted for validation. The state of progress is evaluated at 84% for these two deliverables. There are still two forest regions (Haut -Atlas and the South) to be received from the DDFAJC, which can be finalized within 2 months from the date of their receipt. The questionnaires collected from all the forest regions represent an average rate of 34%. Indeed, only the first four DREFLCDs mentioned above were able to submit their questionnaires for input. This low rate is mainly explained by the delay due to the postponement of meetings for the recovery (case of the DREF of the center with more than two months of delay), and the quality of filling in the questionnaires by the forestry executives, in particular for the identification of forest tracks in the Targa national road network (case of the DREF of the RIF and the Centre), leading to several returns for rectification and completion at the regional level. The questionnaires of the other regions are being filled in by the forestry executives. · Deliverable 3: A shapefile of the national road network with standardized attribute table. The shapefile of the national road network of Targa is completely updated at the level of the ten administrative regions. There remains the additional digitization of the two administrative regions of Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra and Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab in the south, the equivalent of the southern region of forest cutting. The progress rate is around 84%. · Deliverable 4: A shapefile of basic socio-economic facilities at the national level with a standardized attribute table. ​ Basic socio-economic equipment at the national level is updated and returned to the 9 regions started. The 10th BDD will be submitted during the meeting with the Tadla-Azilal Region which is underway. · Deliverable 5: An Atlas of forestry equipment and infrastructure in paper and digital format with developed indicators and ratios. ​ The production of the Atlas of forestry equipment and infrastructure depends exclusively on the finalization and validation of the four previous deliverables. Once all the databases have been compiled and structured, the production of the maps will begin. 3 - Steps to come: Presentation soon of the cartographic data for validation and deposit of the questionnaires for information of the DRFLCD of Tadla-Azilal; 2 . Recovery of cartographic databases for digitization and geolocation of elements from the two remaining regions (the High Atlas and the South) in order to present them and validate them by forestry officials within two months from the dates of their recovery; ​ 3 . Participate in the development of a typology and codification of roads and equipment foresters, for a better standardization of the database, a readjustment of needs, as well a consecration of the heritage value for certain buildings; 4 . Production of a cartographic Atlas in A3 format presenting the state of roads and other Forestry equipment, with analysis of the existing and recommended distinctions, for each of forest massifs, added by global maps by administrative region and by province.

THERE TASKIWIN The dance Tasikiwin, a martial dance from the High Atlas of Morocco, inscribed in 2017 on UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage, is currently broadcast in the pavilion of traditions at the Center des Lumiéres which takes place at La Saline Royale in Arc et Senans . Read more Program Development of Regional Schemes and a National Territorial Cooperation Scheme After the completion of the pilot phase, of the Program for the Development of Regional Schemes and a National Scheme for Territorial Cooperation, in the Souss-Massa region. Targa-Aide has begun launching activities in other regions of the Kingdom. These launch meetings take place at the level of the wilayas according to the following schedule: Rabat-Sale-Kenitra: 09/02/2023 Casablanca-Settat: 02/10/2023 Fez-Meknes: 02/14/2023 Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima: 02/17/2023 Marrakech-Safi: 02/21/2023 Beni Mellal-Khenifra: 02/23/2023 Eastern: 02/28/2023 Darâa Tafilalet: 09/03/2023 Guelmim-Oued Noun: 03/14/2023 Dakhla-Oued Eddahab: 09/05/2023 Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra: 05/11/2023 Program: Local Public Facilities This program is initiated by the Ministry of the Interior, through the General Directorate of Territorial Communities (DGCT), and carried out in partnership with the Targa-Aide Association, to take stock of the Local Public Facilities (EPL) located in the different regions of the Kingdom. Its objective is to constitute a database of local public facilities, equipped with a platform for periodic updating. The analysis of these EPLs will define the territorial imbalances and will propose strategic orientations for reinforcement which will make it possible to apprehend the EPLs, and facilitate their strategic planning. Program: Development of Regional Schemes and a National Territorial Cooperation Scheme This program is initiated by the Ministry of the Interior, through the General Directorate of Territorial Communities, in partnership with the World Bank and the French Development Agency (AFD), the Performance Improvement Support Program des Communes (PAPC) with the methodological support of the Paris Region Institute and the assistance of the Targa-Aide association. It will make it possible to promote the development of cooperation between local authorities, and first and foremost inter-municipal cooperation which is embodied in particular in the Establishments for Inter-municipal Cooperation (ECI) and the Groupings of Territorial Communities (GCT). The objective is to initially develop twelve projects for Regional Territorial Cooperation Schemes (one SRCT per Region). The SNCT will be approved by the Ministry of the Interior on the basis of these twelve projects, after adjustments intended to ensure complete consistency. This SNCT will define the relevant geographical and functional perimeters of the ECIs and GCTs to ensure the harmonious and orderly development of this cooperation. Specific partnership agreement relating to support for the national program of forestry infrastructure and equipment in Morocco The fourth quarter of 2020 was marked by another collaboration between the Ministry of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, Rural Development and Water and Forests (Department of Water and Forests) and Targa-Aide. It is a framework agreement that covers several areas and consists of: Complete the establishment of the green belt around Ouarzazate; Provide support for the establishment of an inventory and a territorial diagnosis of forestry infrastructure and equipment and the constitution of a national database with an updated territorial division reference; Implement a pilot activity to improve the incomes of populations in ecologically fragile mountain areas by introducing fish farming aimed at both biodiversity conservation and the improvement of household living conditions and the integration of young people in economic life according to the principles of a social and solidarity economy. Containment and teleworking in Targa To respect the state of emergency decreed by the government and to shelter all the teams, Targa-aide began working from home on Monday March 16, 2020. The field surveys which were already launched before the confinement were tracked remotely by digitally collecting the remaining data. The IT tools put in place since 2018 have proven to be extremely efficient and perfectly suited to this mode of remote working. Face-to-face work has gradually resumed this week and will be, except for a few exceptions for whom maintaining telework is justified, generalized from June 10, the date scheduled for the lifting of confinement on a national scale.

It is a framework agreement that covers several areas and consists of: Complete the establishment of the green belt around Ouarzazate; Provide support for the establishment of an inventory and a territorial diagnosis of forestry infrastructure and equipment and the constitution of a national database with an updated territorial division reference; Implement a pilot activity to improve the incomes of populations in ecologically fragile mountain areas by introducing fish farming aimed at both biodiversity conservation and the improvement of household living conditions and the integration of young people in economic life according to the principles of a social and solidarity economy. Containment and teleworking in Targa To respect the state of emergency decreed by the government and to shelter all the teams, Targa-aide began working from home on Monday March 16, 2020. The field surveys which were already launched before the confinement were tracked remotely by digitally collecting the remaining data. The IT tools put in place since 2018 have proven to be extremely efficient and perfectly suited to this mode of remote working. Face-to-face work has gradually resumed this week and will be, except for a few exceptions for whom maintaining telework is justified, generalized from June 10, the date scheduled for the lifting of confinement on a national scale. "The National Coordination of the National Initiative for Human Development - INDH" A general partnership framework between the National Coordination for Human Development (Ministry of the Interior) and the Targa-Aide Association has been set up. It is an agreement that provides support for the implementation of programs of the National Initiative for Human Development. It covers two central axes: Exchange of data in order to establish a social and territorial diagnosis with a view to the constitution of a multi-sectoral database; Support for the CN-INDH for the implementation and ownership of the PEDEL program initiated by the GIZ in the field of Social and Solidarity Economy in the provinces of Ouezzane, Figuig, Boulemane and Sidi Bennour._cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ A new local of TARGA-Tangier In 2020, the real estate assets of the Targa-Aide association were extended with a new office space to install the "data management center" of the regional branch in Tangier. TARGA-Tangier is a team made up of about twenty employees divided into GIS engineers, BDD engineers and technicians.

Mission and Values Targa's mission and values have been built gradually through different experiences. A true definition of this mission and these values was felt and formulated only late, after an accumulation of successful experiences and failures with the douars and landlocked populations. ​ Our mission ​ Targa's mission is to contribute to the establishment of a dynamic of sustainable development that aims to reduce socio-economic inequalities and consolidate a culture of participatory local democracy. ​ Why this assignment? ​ Part of the delays accumulated by Morocco in terms of human development has its origin in the isolation of the rural world. These delays have neutralized the impact of actions undertaken by the State and civil society and have led to the widening of social disparities between rural and urban areas, one of the main constraints to Morocco's development. Due to its socio-economic situation and its way of life still strongly marked by difficult living conditions and limited access to basic services, the rural world presents local differences and specificities from the point of view of socio-economic dynamics. and policies. Faced with these constraints, the responses generally provided by the various development programs have proved to be inappropriate. The development of the rural world is, therefore, conditioned by the establishment of infrastructures allowing wide access of the populations to quality basic services but also and above all by conditions conducive to the consolidation of a culture of local participatory democracy. which is able to enable rural populations to participate in public life. Faced with this observation, the State has - recently - realized the need to adopt an approach based on the notion of project; which requires the ability to carry out an overall diagnosis of complex situations, define strategic objectives, mobilize resources and implement monitoring and evaluation processes. Thus, by supporting the State and local authorities in carrying out their programs, Targa aspires to contribute to the promotion - at the institutional and regulatory level - of an integrated public development policy. Targa brings its added value by contributing to building solutions, setting up mechanisms and new ways of managing local life involving a transformation of the functioning of institutions. ​ Our values Ethics Excellency Criticism and self-criticism These values are reflected in the ten-year strategic vision of the Association: “TARGA, an interdisciplinary association, is a school of values and excellence at the service of development and innovation, faithful to a humanist and critical heritage”

The TARGA Association was born in the wake of the research work of a group of young research professors formed in the early 80s, within the Rural Development Department (DDR) created by the sociologist PAUL PASCON, at_cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_Hassan II Agronomic and Veterinary Institute de Rabat . In connection with the rural population of landlocked areas (Ouneine valley en High Atlas and the oases of southeastern Mauritania), its members have gradually built up a concerted approach with a view to identifying and implementing small community development projects. In 1998, the members of the team equipped themselves, with the support of the management of theAgronomic and Veterinary Institute Hassan II , an institutional framework of an associative nature, thus giving birth to TARGA, Interdisciplinary Association for Development and the Environment. Since then, TARGA has developed in three phases: · Community development (1998 – 2000): Design and implementation of community development projects with rural populations in mountain areas, mainly financed by international cooperation (Austrian, Swiss and Spanish cooperation). · Rural development (2000-2004): Increased development of partnerships with ministries, local authorities and state bodies to promote rural development, and participate in the definition of certain public policies aimed at the rural world. · Participatory development planning and capacity building (2004 - present): Thanks in particular to the launch of the National Human Development Initiative and the acceleration of the decentralization process, the public authorities have encouraged the development of the participatory approach in development projects. Therefore, TARGA is fully involved in support and capacity building, strategy, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of public development programs. In 2017, TARGA was recognized as a public utility association

Targa HELP, since 1998 Our history The Targa Association is a natural extension of the activity of a group of young research professors who have been working since the early 1980s within the Direction de Développement Rural (DDR) - created by Paul Pascon - at the Hassan II Agronomic and Veterinary Institute (IAV) of Rabat. The militant (and somewhat romantic) commitment of its members has gradually enabled the construction, with the rural population of landlocked areas (Ouneine valley in the High Atlas and the oases of southeastern Mauritania), of a concerted approach for the identification and implementation of small community development projects. The action of this group of researchers was conducted, until the mid-1990s, under the label of the IAV Hassan II, which made it possible to circumvent the vigilance of the State, whose policy with regard to the rural world was oriented , at that time, towards the monitoring and control of any exogenous intervention. However, from the second half of the 1990s, the flexibility enjoyed by the IAV in the conduct of its mission of Research-Action and management of development projects has largely diminished following increasingly strict regulations imposed by the Ministry of Finance. To deal with these constraints, the members of the team decided – with the support of the management of the IAV – to set up an institutional framework of an associative nature. This is how the creation of Targa - Interdisciplinary Association for Development and the Environment - took place in 1998 in accordance with the laws regulating the right of association. Over the years and thanks to its expertise, the diversity of its activities and the development of its management structure, Targa has been increasingly called upon by rural populations, local authorities and local development associations. Since 1998, Targa has traveled a long path of maturity marked by three periods. ​ Community development (1998 – 2000): Targa continued in the same dynamic as that initiated within the IAV Hassan II, in particular the setting up and implementation of community development projects, with the rural populations of the mountain areas (Ouneine in the High Atlas, the of Bni Idder, the commune of Tanaqob, the commune of Tassift in the western Rif). Targa knew how to keep a distance - probably justified - with the administration and the state departments, by participating in projects mainly financed by international cooperation funds (Austrian, Swiss and Spanish cooperation). ​ Rural development (2000-2004): This period is characterized by a major rapprochement between ministerial departments, local authorities and state bodies to promote rural development. Indeed, it is only for about ten years that the strategic planning of rural development has been placed at the center of the concerns of the public authorities in Morocco. Targa has conducted and participated in studies resulting in the definition of certain public policies targeting the rural world, in particular the definition of a new approach to Integrated Rural Development (DRI) projects, particularly for non-irrigated areas. ​ Participatory development planning and capacity building (2004 - present): Following the significant contextual changes that Morocco is experiencing, particularly with the advent of the INDH and the acceleration of the decentralization process, the public authorities have realized the need to adopt a participatory approach to development and introduce conceptual and methodological innovations in their work with populations. Since then, Targa has invested heavily in support and capacity building, strategy, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of public development programs. This period is marked by a partnership between Targa and the Agency for the Promotion and Economic and Social Development of the prefectures and provinces of the North of the Kingdom (APDN) which completes, in 2014, a full decade of fruitful collaboration. Other public operators, such as the General Directorate of Local Authorities, the Agency for the Promotion and Economic and Social Development of the Southern Provinces and the Department of the Environment have also approached Targa for institutional partnerships.
