This note on social protection has as
its objective establishing an exhaustive analysis/diagnosis
of the existing social protection framework and of preparing
an integrated approach through developing better social
protection priorities and plans of actions. It a) identifies
the social risks which the Moroccan people face generally;
b) examines current social protection initiatives (public,
private, and civil society-sponsored) set up to reduce
poverty and the vulnerability of the population to shocks to
their income and standard of living in both rural and urban
environments; and c) identifies the different elements
needed for an effective social protection strategy as well
as analyzes the current strategies undertaken by the World
Bank and other donors. This study is precipitated by
numerous sectoral studies done previously. It completes the
last "Poverty Update" (report no. 21506) and the
last Country Assistance Strategy for Morocco (report no. 22115).
