Speaking on this occasion, the Wali of the region indicated that several projects have been financed in the region of Béni Mellal-Khénifra, over the last four years, within the framework of the INDH, adding that these projects have helped to strengthen infrastructure, improve socio-economic conditions and social services in rural areas and create a new dynamic relating to support for employment and training for young people, in addition to promoting health provision and education for future generations.
He also stressed the need to accelerate the pace of implementation of scheduled projects and the concertation of efforts by stakeholders in the region to overcome all the constraints posed at the level of programming and implementation of projects in phase III of the INDH, in particular to ensure the sustainability of the impact of the projects carried out, the diversification of sources of financing as well as the strengthening of governance mechanisms.
