The program for reducing spatial and social disparities was established in response to the high directives of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, with the aim of reducing inequalities in infrastructure and access to basic services (roads, paths, infrastructure, education, health, drinking water, electricity), in order to improve the living conditions of the populations in the targeted areas and enable them to benefit from the natural and economic resources of these regions.

This program is based on the principle of integration and synergy of efforts between the concerned ministries and public institutions, targeting the same areas. It also relies on the responsibility of regional levels to define priorities and design projects that enhance the attractiveness of the targeted areas. It represents an essential part of the efforts to achieve balanced and inclusive development between urban and rural areas.

As part of its involvement in the program for reducing spatial and social disparities, the Guelmim-Oued Noun Regional Council allocated a total of 660 million dirhams for the period 2018-2022 to implement several projects in five key sectors: roads, electricity, drinking water, health, and education. These investments were made in response to the urgent needs of rural areas and beneficiary communities, more than 50 in total, with the goal of promoting sustainable development and improving the living conditions of the inhabitants of these regions.

Targeted Sectors

Road sector

The opening up of rural areas is one of the major priorities of the program for reducing spatial and social disparities. By improving the road network, mobility between areas is facilitated, which helps to boost economic and social activities, and allows residents easier access to markets and basic services such as health and education. The opening of new roads or the improvement of existing ones also strengthens the connection between villages and cities, thereby increasing local development opportunities.

Electricity sector

The program aims to provide electricity to rural areas, which is a vital factor in improving the standard of living. Access to electricity in these areas paves the way for economic and social development by facilitating agricultural activities and small industries, and improving educational and health services by creating an environment conducive to the use of technology.

Potable water sector

The provision of drinking water is an essential element in achieving sustainable development. The program aims to improve water distribution networks and secure sources of clean water for residents in rural areas, thereby contributing to improved public health and living conditions. The supply of clean water is an integral part of reducing waterborne diseases and establishing a healthy environment for residents.

Health sector

Improving health services in remote areas is an important component of the program for reducing spatial and social disparities. By creating or renovating health centers and providing the necessary equipment and medical staff, the program helps bring healthcare services closer to citizens and ensures that they receive appropriate care, especially in areas suffering from a lack of medical facilities.

Education sector

The program supports the improvement of education quality in rural areas by building new schools and equipping them, as well as modernizing existing educational institutions, which helps reduce educational disparities between urban and rural areas. Enhancing educational infrastructure allows children and young people to have better educational opportunities and strengthens the future of rising generations.
