Main Article Content
Abstract
The role played by associations in Morocco has always been linked to the political and socioeconomic context of the country. The launch of the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH) is a boost, a shock for the Moroccan associative fabric. This work analyzes the distribution of associations in the province of Chefchaouen as well as their participation in the NHRI through their projects in the period 2011-2018. A first quantitative analysis is carried out based on the investments made and the subsidies received, which is complemented by another of a qualitative nature based on the interviews with those responsible. The data reveals that the distribution of associations, investments and subsidies within the framework of this initiative present a great disparity, benefiting more the less poor territories. Likewise, it is verified that the money of the NHRI has been fundamental for the realization of these projects and the achievement of its objectives, being necessary to modify its territorial distribution in favor of the poorest territories.
