Strategic Vision

The strategic vision adopted by the Guelmim-Oued Noun Regional Council for the implementation of the 2022-2027 Regional Development Program is based on achieving a comprehensive and sustainable transformation of the region’s various vital sectors. This vision aims to build a strong and united region, accelerate the pace of development, and strengthen social inclusion, while emphasizing the exploitation of economic opportunities and renewable energies.

It is structured around 5 key pillars and includes the implementation of 24 strategic projects across various vital sectors, which strengthen the region’s long-term resilience and prosperity. These projects cover all aspects that ensure economic, social, and environmental integration, with a commitment to national energy and sustainable development goals.

Structuring and building a strong, united, and efficient region

This pillar aims to strengthen the capacities of regional and local institutions by building strong and efficient institutions that work in an integrated manner to achieve balanced development across all areas of the region. It focuses on improving governance and developing partnerships between the public and private sectors, thereby contributing to increased investments and ensuring the efficient implementation of major projects.

Acceleration of the recovery of critical delays

The strategy acknowledges delays in certain important projects in the region and aims to address them quickly to avoid any negative impact on development. The goal is to intensify efforts to complete essential projects that have not been finished within the expected timeframes, such as infrastructure improvements, rural area development, and ensuring access to basic services for the entire population.

Strengthening and improving integration and social services

This pillar focuses on achieving social justice by improving the population’s access to basic social services such as education, healthcare, drinking water, and electricity. The goal is to strengthen the social inclusion of marginalized groups and create a conducive environment that guarantees equal opportunities for all community members. The program also aims to create more economic opportunities and promote social integration through the implementation of social infrastructure projects.

Sustainable development of the region's economic potential

This pillar is based on the exploitation of the region’s natural and human economic assets, while emphasizing the sustainability of these assets to ensure continuous long-term economic growth. It includes the development of vital sectors such as agriculture, fishing, sustainable tourism, and traditional trades, as well as the promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship. The goal is to transform the Guelmim-Oued Noun region into an economic hub that enhances job opportunities and contributes to local and national economic growth.

Focusing the region to become a major hub in green energy production

The transition to renewable energy is a central element of the regional development vision, where the region aims to become a leading national hub in green energy production. This pillar will focus on developing the “GON H2 Valley” platform, which aims to produce green hydrogen and clean energy, positioning the Guelmim-Oued Noun region as a national and global center in this promising field. Through this strategy, technological innovation will be strengthened, and energy sources diversified, thereby supporting the green economy and promoting sustainable development.
