"Land Governance" Activity

The "Land Governance" Activity, with a budget of about 9.9$ million, aims to provide support to the Government in order to better coordinate the action of the various managers of the State domains and to strengthen coordination between the various actors in the land sector. The purpose of this activity is to revitalize the land market by facilitating investor’s access to land, modernizing the legal framework governing the land sector and simplifying land mobilization procedures.

The support provided by this activity to the Government takes place as part of the implementation of the High Guidance of His Majesty The King Mohammed VI contained in the Lettre addressed to the participants of the National Conference on the state land policy, held in December 2015 in Skhirat, calling for the adoption of an integrated national land strategy clearly defined, and for its operationalization in the form of an action plan. This support covers:

The development of a national land strategy and an action plan for its implementation, using a participatory approach fostering consensus-building and ownership of this strategy by all stakeholders. For this purpose :

On January 22nd, 2018, the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE) was asked by the Head of Government to conduct a study and to give its opinion on the state land policy in coordination with MCA-Morocco Agency. The CESE, being a constitutional independent institution, was chosen for its advisory role for the benefit of the legislative and executive authorities on various strategic issues, and the participatory approach adopted in the conduct of its missions.

In April 2019, the Head of Government had also mandated Mr. Karim Tajmouaati, General Director of the National Agency for Land Conservation, Cadastre and Cartography (ANCFCC), as national coordinator to elaborate the national land strategy project and its action plan within 12 months.

In addition to the collaboration with the CESE, MCA-Morocco Agency will provide the necessary technical support to the national coordinator for the accomplishment of its mission, in particular by conducting, on its request, some specific studies.

The implementation of the action plan’s priority actions of the national land strategy approved by the Government.
