For some years, the Kingdom of Morocco has demonstrated a clear political will to address drug use issues in a proactive and pragmatic manner. No one can hope to deal effectively and efficiently with this problem without having an understanding of its nature and magnitude, which presupposes an accurate scientific evaluation of the phenomenon, carried out on a regular basis. You can only deal with what you know, and what you know is what you have measured. This evaluation is the main task of the National Observatory on Drugs and Addiction (Observatoire National des Drogues et Addictions -ONDA). The annual report is its outcome. Through the use of well-established scientific mechanisms, the successive annual reports will help in future to make a detailed assessment of developments in our country and, in so doing, provide reliable data for the drawing up of appropriate custom-made programmes for improved management of addiction issues. In keeping with the wishes of the Kingdom of Morocco, an evidence-based approach was the overriding consideration in the setting up of ONDA, an instrument for data collection, analysis and reporting, serving politicians and institutional decision-makers; ultimately, ONDA is the outcome of a responsible, realistic and objective policy. ONDA͛Ɛ mission is to help policy-makers, and all those involved in this field, to have access to reliable, up-to-date information so that they can take context-specific action in the various areas connected with drug use, namely prevention, treatment, harm reduction and rehabilitation. To succeed in its mission, ONDA works with the different departments involved in both demand and supply reduction. Data collection covers the epidemiological characteristics of treatment requests, conditions secondary to use, use in the general population and certain specific population groups, associated morbidity and mortality, trafficking and seizures. The indicators compiled meet well-known scientific requirements and are consistent with those of international observatories, in particular the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction. 8 This first report, ĞĨĨĞĐƚŝǀĞůLJKE͛ƐĨŽƵŶĚŝŶŐĂĐƚ͕ŝƐƚŚĞƌĞƐƵůƚŽĨĚĂƚĂƐŚĂƌŝŶŐďLJƚŚĞDŝŶŝƐƚƌŝĞƐŽĨ Health, Justice and the Interior, via the Directorate-General of National Security, and the Customs and Indirect Taxation Authority.

ONDA is the reflection of a pragmatic policy in a rights-based country which is adopting a head-on, holistic approach to the problem of drug use, not only in the interests of its citizens suffering from drug abuse and dependence, but also for the purpose of taking targeted preventive measures for the well- being of those not yet affected by this scourge. It goes without saying that this first report cannot be exhaustive. In future it will require additions and further information. But it has the merit of being an initial working document and compilation of data offering a more or less accurate picture of the current drug use situation.

  • De La Continuité Linguistique Du Préhilalien De Type Jebli Au-Delà Du Territoire Des Jbala
    DE LA CONTINUITÉ LINGUISTIQUE DU PRÉHILALIEN DE TYPE JEBLI AU-DELÀ DU TERRITOIRE DES JBALA Fouad BRIGUI* Université Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah - Fès BIBLID [1133-8571] 26 (2019) 01.1-20. Résumé : On considère, généralement, que le territoire des Jbala, au nord-ouest du Maroc, est limité, au sud, par le bassin de l’Oued Ouergha moyen, au nord, par le détroit de Gibraltar et, au nord-est, par le Rif et l’Oriental. Le parler des Jbala, de type préhilalien, se limiterait donc à cet espace géographique. Or, comme l’avaient déjà pressenti et indiqué des sémitisants de l’ère coloniale et comme l’ont confirmé des travaux récents, des parlers présentant des caractéristiques similaires aux parlers des Jbala sont attestés au sud-est et au sud-ouest de cette aire géographique. Cet article fait la synthèse de ces travaux et analyse des données recueillies récemment qui montrent la parenté entre le parler des Jbala et des parlers appartenant à des zones situées en dehors de ce territoire et qui en constituent, probablement, l’extension. Mots-clés : Dialectologie, Préhilalien, Jbala, Maroc, Géographie linguistique, Variation, Variante, Arabe, Substrat Abstract: It is generally considered that the territory of Jbala, in the north-west of Morocco, is bounded on the south by the Oued Ouergha Basin, on the north by the Strait of Gibraltar and on the north-east by the Rif and the Oriental region. The dialect of Jbala, pertaining to the prehilalian type, would be limited to this geographical region. However, as it has been suggested and indicated by some colonial times Semitists and confirmed by recent work, some dialects showing similar features to Jbala dialects are attested in the southeast and southwest of this geographical area.

  • NH Final Thesis
    SOCIAL MARKETING AND THE CORRUPTION CONUNDRUM IN MOROCCO: AN EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS N. HAMELIN Ph.D. 2016 i SOCIAL MARKETING AND THE CORRUPTION CONUNDRUM IN MOROCCO: AN EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS NICOLAS HAMELIN A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of East London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February, 2016 ii Abstract The modern world is characterised by socio-economic disruptions, civil unrests, and weakening of many societal institutions, amongst many other challenges to our social fabric. Therefore, scholars are increasingly scouring a wide variety of conceptual prisms to seek explanations and possible solutions to those problems contemporaneously manifesting themselves. The pervading force of corruption, across the globe, remains a major concern among nations, multilateral agencies, such as Transparency International, and more profoundly in major business and public policy discourses. For many developing countries, especially those with weak institutions, high levels of corruption are causatively associated with high levels of poverty, poor economic performance and under-development. Against this background, using the Kingdom of Morocco as a contextual base, this thesis explores the growing incidence of corruption, which has stunted the nation’s positive development, as well as its triggers, antecedents and consequences. Whilst the literature is replete with treatments of corruption across time and space, such treatments have focused on social and macroeconomic underpinnings but largely lack rigorous marketing-framed explorations. Following on from this lacuna, this thesis situates the treatment of corruption in Morocco within the conceptual frame of social marketing — a demonstrably robust platform for analysing societal issues and, indeed, a validated behavioural intervention model.

Loustau-Williams, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 The relationship between migration and development can be volatile. While movement can lead to a more appropriate allocation of human resources within an economy, an unstable population distribution can lead to toxic concentrations of people. This is a potential risk factor as many people respond to the changes inherent to societal transformation through movement. As such, excess movement can disrupt the population distribution of a country. More comprehensive models of migration in developing countries are necessary in order to understand how rural populations are affected by development. The following study explores the relationship between migration and development in Morocco, with a particular focus on movement in the interior and predominantly rural areas. The analysis observes movement to small population centers in the rural areas.

    MOROCCO IN THE EARLY ATLANTIC WORLD, 1415-1603 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Earnest W. Porta, Jr., J.D. Washington, DC June 20, 2018 Copyright 2018 by Earnest W. Porta, Jr. All Rights Reserved ii MOROCCO IN THE EARLY ATLANTIC WORLD, 1415-1603 Earnest W. Porta, Jr., J.D. Dissertation Advisor: Osama Abi-Mershed, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Over the last several decades, a growing number of historians have conceptualized the Atlantic world as an explanatory analytical framework, useful for studying processes of interaction and exchange. Stretching temporally from the 15th into the 19th century, the Atlantic world framework encompasses more than simply the history of four continents that happen to be geographically situated around what we now recognize as the Atlantic basin. It offers instead a means for examining and understanding the transformative impacts that arose from the interaction of European, African, and American cultures following the European transatlantic voyages of the 15th and 16th centuries. Though it has not been extensively studied from this perspective, during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries Morocco possessed geopolitical characteristics that uniquely situated it within not only the Islamic world, but the developing Atlantic world as well. This study considers Morocco’s involvement in the early Atlantic world by examining three specific phases of its involvement. The first phase lasts approximately one hundred years and begins with the Portuguese invasion of Ceuta in 1415, considered by some to mark the beginning of European overseas expansion.
