This PDR crystallizes the result of the advanced regionalization process in Morocco, intended as a global and structural reform that addresses all territorial actors called upon to innovate, underlined Mr. Sadiki during the “Investor Day” conference, organized at the initiative of the Council of the Guelmim-Oued Noun region, in collaboration with the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
This involves setting up new mechanisms for territorial development governance in order to bring to maturity the dynamics of change that have been initiated, he argued, adding that this PDR must include the action and intervention plans of the actors, harmonized with each other.
It should be a basis for organizing regional cooperation between stakeholders for the creation of added value at the local level, the minister explained, noting that cooperation within the PDR aims to exploit the potential of the region and improve agricultural incomes.
In the vision of regional development, he said, it is essential to examine on the one hand the constraints and difficulties and, on the other hand, the potential and assets of the region.
The governance of the two sectors is based on the Generation Green strategies for the agricultural sector and Halieutis for fishing and aquaculture, he said, specifying that the implementation of Generation Green is based on three dimensions, namely a territorial dimension, the value chain sector and the horizontal dimension.
Referring to sustainable agriculture, the minister recalled the launch of innovative programs and the introduction of cutting-edge technologies to increase productivity while preserving the environment.
