EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Activity Description CSSP is a 4-year program (2015-2019) in Morocco implemented by Counterpart International in partnership with its main sub-partner, the International Center for Non-Profit Law (ICNL). The project aims to strengthen civil society’s infrastructure and individual organizational capacity, with the goal of supporting CSOs and coalitions that engage in advocacy initiatives. The program encourages greater engagement between CSOs and government institutions. To increase CSOs contributions in public policy, CSSP provides technical assistance in policy advocacy, legal framework development, government-CSO dialogue, as well as tailored capacity-building to both local governments and CSOs in target regions. To support its strategy, CSSP delivers capacity development activities to CSOs, including specific technical assistance to meet their advocacy and public policy engagement goals. CSSP also ensures achievement of the activity’s purpose, objectives, and results by directing program components such as grants management and the organizational capacity process. CSSP’s organizational development approach focuses on strengthening the capacity of five core Intermediate Service Organizations (ISOs) (selected by USAID/Morocco) to ensure they can provide high quality capacity development and advocacy services to CSO clients in a sustainable way. Through customized trainings, technical assistance and mentoring, CSSP will transfer skills in performance-based management, demand-driven services, advocacy, organizational development, and financial sustainability to ISOs. In turn, and according to a cascading model approach, ISOs will then build the capacity of selected CSOs engaged in advocacy efforts in Morocco. This model also promotes local ownership and sustainability of organizational and technical capacity building to advance targeted policy reform efforts. Moreover, CSSP’s holistic approach to assisting CSOs achieve advocacy results focuses on building the capacity of organizations to plan and execute advocacy campaigns by providing them resources through grants, and most importantly, making explicit the expectation that CSOs must purposefully engage Moroccan citizens, consolidate their ideas, opinions, and voices, and advocate on their behalf directly with decision makers. Summary of Key Accomplishments During Reporting Period Strategic Planning Workshops. During FY 2018, CSSP concentrated its activities on providing ISOs with the tools they need for effective growth, as well as positioning them to take the lead in designing and implementing activities that serve the needs of their beneficiaries and partner NGOs. The ISOs’ ongoing strategic planning workshops have been critical throughout this reporting period. The leadership teams and other participants developed strategic plans through guided retreats and follow-on workshops, allowing the ISOs to examine critically the path that they are currently traveling as well as envision where that path will take them. In fact, defining their organization’s future, as well detailing what it will take to reach their goals, has been at the core of this process. The ISOs have looked closely at their missions, their current capacity and the culture within the organization to arrive at a more clearly defined trajectory. CSSP Year 3 Annual Performance Report Page 5 of 32 Counterpart feels strongly that this process will provide the ISOs, as well as several coalitions that are undertaking a similar process, with a consolidated approach to growth and better governance. Over the last phase of the program, this will ensure that the the ISOs and their partners have created a sustainable future for their organizations. Advocacy Training Workshops. This year, advocacy training took important steps forward with the implementation of workshops for partners working on the topics of immigration, youth and gender. Numerous coalitions and ISOs, in addition to advocacy grantees, have finalized and begun implementing their advocacy plans with impressive results. For example, Collectif de la Communauté Subsaharienne au Maroc (CCSM) has taken decisive steps to educate Sub-Saharan immigrants with children on their rights and options for schooling. This is critical for a vulnerable population that is often not familiar with local laws, schools or customs.

The drafting of the final report of the FPIMCH Phase V Project, as well as the project itself, are the result of a team effort. It is in this sense therefore that the use of the word "we" in this report should be understood. First of all, I should like to thank, on behalf of the JSI team, my colleagues of the Ministry of Health (MOH) who gave body and soul to the Prpjed and, especially, Dr. Mostafa Tyane, Director of Population, who was the Project coordinator. I should also like to thank the USAlD team, under the direction of Michele Moloney-Kitts and Susan Wright, who provided technical, administrative and moral support throughout the project. Lastly, neither the implementation of the FPIMCH Phase V Project nor the drafting of this document could have been possible without the commitment and enthusiasm of the JSI team and the sub-contractors, of whom I am only the representative.

Considering the increase in demand for industrial-use water and water supply as the country’s industry develops and its cities grow, there is a strong possibility that in the future the proportion of irrigation water could be limited. Therefore the efficient use of water through the construction of irrigation facilities has been an urgent issue.
