Moroccan government allocates $350m to support craft industry
2007-02-21
The Moroccan government on Tuesday (February 20th) allocated $350m to support and promote the craft industry, part of a 10-year programme dubbed "Vision 2015 for the Moroccan craft industry's development". The programme, which includes special mechanisms to create new Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), is projected to generate 115,000 jobs in the sector and increase exports from $83m to $800m. In 2006, the government launched its Moukawalati national programme to stimulate economic growth through the creation of 30,000 SMEs. The businesses established under Moukawalati are expected to generate 90,000 jobs by 2008. According to official figures, Morocco’s unemployment rate has fallen to 9.7% in 2006, down from 11.1% in 2005. (Le Matin, L'Economiste, MAP)

Mr Sadiki read everything written by readers about the Muqawalati programme in Morocco and was frustrated. He said: tomorrow we will retaliate for everything small or large. And refer to the verses of God may be you will remember…Stop lying. “Muqawalati project” and the money of the people plundered by the biggest barons in Morocco and you are silent and you are aware of this. Remember tomorrow when I will stand beside you and make you accountable. “Everyone is a shepherd, and every shepherd is responsible for his herd”.
