| SE strategy / action plan 1.2.1 S167S2100S367S467S50 Criteria and evidence- S1 · Status: 67 (adopted, lapsed before 31 Dec 2025, not renewed)
The 2010-2020 national SSE strategy lapsed; the ten-year successor that the Secretary of State said in August 2025 had been 'lancée' with an operational action plan had not been formally adopted by 31 Dec 2025 (author ruling), and the earlier measures continue: 'adopted but lapsed before 31 Dec 2025, not renewed'. · source 1 - S2 · Dedication: 100 (dedicated national SE strategy or action plan)
Scored on the lapsed 2010-2020 instrument, since a lapsed strategy whose measures continue keeps its S2-S5 levels: the 'National Strategy on Social and Solidarity Economy (2010-2020)' was a stand-alone SSE strategy: 'dedicated national SE strategy or action plan (adopted)'. · source 1 - S3 · Operational content: 67 (measures with named responsible bodies)
Scored on the lapsed 2010-2020 strategy (author ruling; measures continue). The Finance Ministry's 2016 performance project for the Ministry of Handicrafts and SSE sets out the SSE programme under the 'vision stratégique ... à l'horizon 2020' in three axes ('Appui institutionnel', 'Appui et Partenariat', 'Promotion de l'ESS') with activity indicators (fairs, networks, training, cooperatives and IGAs created), names the 'Directeur de la Promotion de l'Economie Sociale et Solidaire' as programme manager, and gives quantified targets (SSE share of GDP to 3.9%, employment to 4% of the active population, cooperative membership to 7.5%); the budget tables in the copy read are empty: 'measures with named responsible bodies'. · source 1 - S4 · Monitoring: 67 (monitoring body or indicator set in place)
The same official performance project defines a set of SSE programme indicators (number of events and exhibitors, products sold and turnover, networks created, training days, beneficiaries, cooperatives and IGAs created, jobs created) and tasks the ministry to 'assurer le suivi de leur exécution'; their values are blank in the copy read, and no progress or evaluation report on the strategy was found for 2021-2025: 'monitoring body or indicator set in place'. Judgement: 33 ('monitoring foreseen in the text') if an indicator set without reported values is not read as in place. · source 1 - S5 · Participation of SE organisations: 0 (no evidence)
The 2016 performance project describes no steering or monitoring committee with cooperatives, associations or networks (it only says the ministry should 'Encourager les réseaux des acteurs'), and no drafting group of the 2010-2020 strategy naming SSE organisations was found; stakeholder involvement is documented only for the unadopted successor vision (Assises, Dec 2018): 'no evidence'. · source 1 · low confidence

| Institutional structure & dialogue 1.2.2 I1100I2100I30I40 Criteria and evidence- I1 · Lead responsibility: 100 (a dedicated unit, directorate or agency for SE)
The Secretariat of State for Handicrafts and the SSE has a Director of SSE Promotion, who presented the MOAZARA programme in January 2025, and the public agency ODCO serves cooperatives: 'a dedicated unit, directorate or agency for SE'. · source 1 - I2 · Breadth of mandate: 100 (the social economy / SE broadly)
The ministry's SSE programmes cover associations, networks of associations and cooperatives (MOAZARA calls), alongside ODCO for cooperatives: 'the social economy / SE broadly'. · source 1 - I3 · Consultative body with SE organisations: 0 (none, or only in a draft)
No standing consultative body with SSE organisations: national dialogue rests on the periodic Assises nationales de l'ESS (5th edition, 2025), and a national body would come only with the framework law, still 'en cours d'élaboration' in January 2026: 'none, or only in a draft'. · source 1 - I4 · Inter-ministerial coordination: 0 (none)
No inter-ministerial SSE mechanism was found in 2023-2025 reporting (the Secretary of State's August 2025 account lists contract programmes with regional councils; national dialogue rests on the periodic Assises); the draft framework law's national commission came only in 2026: 'none'. · source 1

| Social clauses in public procurement 2.3.2 P167P2100P367P40 Criteria and evidence- P1 · Legal basis: 67 (contracts reservable for a subset (sheltered workshops, WISE, disadvantaged workers; Directive 2014/24 Art. 20) or preferences for cooperatives/SMEs that include SE)
Art. 148 of Decree 2-22-431 of 8 Mar 2023 obliges contracting authorities to reserve 30% of programmed contracts for TPME, innovative start-ups, cooperatives and unions of cooperatives, and auto-entrepreneurs: 'preferences for cooperatives/SMEs that include SE' (cooperatives are named; the SSE as such is not). · source 1 - P2 · National policy push: 100 (national plan or rule with a target or quota for social clauses or the SE share)
Decree 2-22-431 (8 Mar 2023), confirming the 30% set by Art. 156 of Decree 2-19-69 (2019), obliges contracting authorities to reserve 30% of contracts programmed in the budget year for TPME (including innovative start-ups), cooperatives and unions of cooperatives, and auto-entrepreneurs, with the list of contracts awarded to be published each year: 'national plan or rule with a target or quota for ... the SE share'. Judgement: the quota is pooled with TPME, as for Senegal's pooled SSE/SME quota (P2 = 100); a strict reading gives 0. · source 1 - P3 · Evidence of use: 67 (national figures on use for one year)
Official statements put the share won by the reserved group at 'autour de 35%' in 2023; no share is reported for 2024 or 2025 (only tender volumes) and there is no breakdown for cooperatives: 'national figures on use for one year'. Judgement: the figure covers the pooled group, not SE alone. · source 1 - P4 · Capacity support: 0 (none)
Support found is 'dossiers types simplifiés et guides pratiques diffusés par les services centraux' for SMEs, with one-stop shops and workshops only proposed (June 2025); the November 2025 MEF/TGR session for procurement managers covered the decree, national preference and green procurement; no training or helpdesk documented to cover reserved contracts for cooperatives or contracting authorities: 'none'. · source 1

| Official SE definition 3.1 D133D267 Criteria and evidence- D1 · Where defined: 33 (in an official draft pending on 31 Dec 2025, or a non-binding document)
No SSE definition in law at end-2025 (the framework law was still being drafted; Law 112-12 defines cooperatives only). The Economic, Social and Environmental Council's opinion AS 19/2015 sets out an official definition: 'a non-binding document'. · source 1 - D2 · Content (social aim; participatory governance; limits on profit distribution): 67 (two)
The CESE definition names a 'finalité d'intérêt collectif et sociétal' and 'gestion autonome, démocratique et participative'; it sets no general limit on profit distribution (non-profit status is noted for mutuals only): 'two'. · source 1

| SE support ecosystem 4.3.6 E1100E267E3100E467E5100 Criteria and evidence- E1 · National programme: 100 (national programme dedicated to SE, run by government or a public agency)
Mourafaka, run by the Secretariat of State and ODCO (latest phase with UM6P and Fondation OCP), accompanies about 500 new cooperatives a year for 24 months: 'national programme dedicated to SE, run by government or a public agency'. · source 1 - E2 · Territorial coverage: 67 (several regions)
The 4th tranche (600 cooperatives in three phases of 200) started in four regions (Guelmim-Oued Noun, Draa-Tafilalet, Marrakech-Safi, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra); no national network of SE support centres is documented: 'several regions'. · source 1 - E3 · Public funding of support: 100 (national budget line)
Support is financed nationally (ministry and ODCO, with Fondation OCP and UM6P), within the MAD 368 million envelope that the Head of Government cited in January 2026 for the SSE strategy, including training and support programmes; no donor funding of Mourafaka was found: 'national budget line'. · source 1 - E4 · Continuity: 67 (two to four years)
Mourafaka's 4th tranche was launched in April 2022 and the programme was operating in August 2025 (about 500 new cooperatives a year); a '4ème tranche' implies earlier tranches, but their dates and continuity to 2022 were not established (launch-year sources unreadable): 'two to four years'. · source 1 - E5 · Range of services: 100 (three or more)
Strategic diagnosis and two years of individual coaching (acceleration), training in governance, management and marketing and sales (market access), and financing of the best projects by Fondation OCP (finance): 'three or more'. · source 1

| EU funds mobilised for SE 5.1.1 F10F233F333F433 Criteria and evidence- F1 · Programming: 0 (SE not mentioned)
The EU fact sheet on EU-Morocco cooperation under NDICI 2021-2027 (updated Nov 2024; EUR 931 m bilateral 2021-2024) lists flagships and programmes (social protection Karama and financial inclusion, green energy, higher education, railway, earthquake package) with no mention of the SSE, social economy, cooperatives or social entrepreneurship, and the March 2023 programme package has none; MedUp! was a regional project, not country programming: 'SE not mentioned'. MIP text not found. · source 1 - F2 · Calls and instruments: 33 (general calls whose themes name social economy or social entrepreneurship, or documented SE grantees in general calls)
The EU co-funded regional MedUp! project (Oxfam-led, 2018-2022, Enactus Morocco as consortium member) gave sub-grants plus business support to 66 social enterprises (EUR 1 m fund), 12-16 of them in Morocco; no EU call dedicated to Moroccan SEs in 2021-2025 was found, the EU's NDICI programmes for Morocco have no SSE action, and the EU civil-society roadmap 2021-2027 mentions social entrepreneurship only as a study topic: 'documented SE grantees'. Judgement: the MedUp! fund was a dedicated SE call, but its selection predates the period. · source 1 - F3 · Channel: 33 (civil-society grants only)
MedUp! money reached Moroccan SEs through the Oxfam-led consortium and Enactus Morocco; the Ministry of Tourism, Handicraft and SSE only received thematic workshops on structuring the sector and was not a project partner: 'via civil-society grants only'. · source 1 - F4 · Evidence of take-up: 33 (anecdotal)
Only featured stories (four Moroccan SEs among some 64 SEs supported across six countries) were found: 'anecdotal'. · source 1
