Gendered Dimensions of Key Value Chains in Southwestern Morocco
Chapter 14 Gendered Dimensions of Key Value Chains in Southwestern Morocco Shinan N. Kassam, Patricia Biermayr-Jenzano, BoubakerShinan N. Kassam,Dhehibi andPatricia Aden Biermayr-Jenzano, Aw-Hassan Boubaker Dhehibi and Aden Aw-Hassan Additional information is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.69827 Abstract The Morocco Green Plan (MGP) has delivered signiicant economic beneits to small farm households. A concentration on improving eiciency and proitability within value chains for key local commodities has, through the creation of women’s cooperatives, also led to positive outcomes in female empowerment. Through qualitative and participatory research methods, our analysis of gendered aspects of value chains for argan, rose, cactus, and saf- fron in southwestern Morocco suggests that economic empowerment, fostered through existing women’s cooperatives, is fragile and subject to signiicant threats. In large part, this is the result of a state-driven approach that has not efectively considered the inequi- ties inherent within value chains for key local commodities; and the meshing of existing social and cultural norms with the tenets of a national drive toward ‘modernization’ of the agricultural sector. We suggest that the MGP is gender blind in this respect. Couching value chain enhancement initiatives within an innovation systems framework, as opposed to a state-centric process, is more likely to achieve well-being within rural communities, together with sustainable (social and economic) returns within pro-poor value chains.

STRATEGIC STUDIES INSTITUTE The Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) is part of the U.S. Army War College and is the strategic-level study agent for issues relat- ed to national security and military strategy with emphasis on geostrategic analysis. The mission of SSI is to use independent analysis to conduct strategic studies that develop policy recommendations on: • Strategy, planning, and policy for joint and combined employment of military forces; • Regional strategic appraisals; • The nature of land warfare; • Matters affecting the Army’s future; • The concepts, philosophy, and theory of strategy; and, • Other issues of importance to the leadership of the Army. Studies produced by civilian and military analysts concern topics having strategic implications for the Army, the Department of Defense, and the larger national security community. In addition to its studies, SSI publishes special reports on topics of special or immediate interest. These include edited proceedings of conferences and topically-oriented roundtables, expanded trip reports, and quick-reaction responses to senior Army leaders. The Institute provides a valuable analytical capability within the Army to address strategic and other issues in support of Army participation in national security policy formulation.

Page 1/16 Abstract Background: The evaluation of physical activity for chronic hemodialysis patients is a new approach for the patient global care. The objective of this work is to evaluate the physical activity in chronic hemodialysis patients and identify the risk factors associated with reduced physical activity. Methods: This is a prospective study during 6 months including 150 chronic hemodialysis patients in the Guelmim-Oued Noun Regionin moroccan sahara. We use Baecke's survey, translated and validated in Arabic local language. The socio-demographic, Clinical and biological data were completed during the interrogation and from the medical records of the patients. Results: The mean age of our patients was 54.6 +/- 16.4 years, with male predominance (59%). Most patients have a low education level and 60% were illiterate. -

The fatty acid profiles obtained by gas chromatography (GC) showed that oleic acid (C18:1) is the most abundant fatty acid, followed by linoleic acid (C18:2) and palmitic acid (C16:0). The content of trans-oleic and trans-linoleic isomers was between 0.02% and 0.03%, while trans-linolenic isomers were between 0.06% and 0.09%. Discriminant analysis (DA) and orthogonal projection to latent structure—discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were performed to discriminate between argan oils from Essaouira, Taroudant, Tiznit, Chtouka-Aït Baha and Sidi Ifni. -
Morocco Administrative Structure
INFORMATION PAPER Morocco: Administrative Structure On 20 February 2015 the Moroccan government issued Decree No. 2-15-401, outlining the modified administrative structure of the country. This reorganisation is the result of a government programme aimed at giving each of the regions autonomy, and a greater autonomy to the regions coinciding with Western Sahara. In 2010, the Consultative Commission for Regionalization was formed to tackle this subject. The commission prepared a report proposing to reorganize Morocco into 12 regions. The new 12-region structure constitutes a regrouping of the existing provinces and prefectures2 and replaces the previous structure of 16 regions. The decree states that Morocco is divided into 12 regions. However, since Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab3 falls entirely in the territory of Western Sahara4, this would not be included on UK products as part of Morocco. The region of Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra falls partly into Western Sahara but as part of it is in Morocco, it is recognised as part of Morocco’s administrative structure and the part outside Western Sahara can be shown on UK mapping.

Philippe SIERRA Université Paris VIII RESUME: Sidi Ifni, petite ville côtière du sud du Maroc située à l'extrémité sud-ouest de la Région du Souss- Massa-Draa est entrée au cœur d'une polémique nationale en juin 2008. En effet, après une semaine de blocage du port par des chômeurs et des jeunes demandant des emplois, une intervention massive des forces de l'ordre débouche sur un scandale autour des méthodes employées et des arrestations, et sur le procès de la chaîne qatarie Al Jazeera accusée d'avoir diffusé une fausse nouvelle en annonçant des morts. -

U N I T E D N A T I O N S Human Rights Council International Pact on economic, social and cultural Rights Geneva, September 2015 Alternative Report Presented by: Congrès Mondial Amazigh 1 Introduction The Amazigh people (Berber) is the indigenous people of North Africa and the Sahara. The term Amazigh (plural Imazighen) means "free man". The Amazigh populations are now estimated at about 30 million inhabitants spread over different countries of the region: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, the Canary Archipelago. The largest concentration of Amazigh is located in Morocco (2/3 of the Moroccan population) living mainly in the Rif (northern Morocco), Figuig (northeast), the Atlas Mountains, the Souss (south) and the southeast. Large cities such as Casablanca, Fez, Meknes, Marrakesh, Oujda, Tangier, Kenitra and Rabat also have a large share of Amazigh. I- The new Constitution formalizes Tamazight (Amazigh language) but no application In the preamble of the new Constitution (2011), Morocco is defined as a "sovereign Muslim state" with its Arab-Islamic, Amazigh and Saharo-Hassani, African, Andalusian, Jewish and Mediterranean". The list of components of Moroccan identity in such an order would suggest that chronologically the first and most important component of the identity of Morocco would be "Arab- Islamic", which is obviously a falsification of history and socio-cultural and linguistic reality of the country. The history and the country's socio-cultural reality teach that the form indigenous Amazigh people of Morocco and across North Africa and the Sahara and that their presence in this region dates back to the dawn of time. -

Morocco floods of 2014: what we can learn from Guelmim and Sidi Ifni Foreword There is a saying that more people drown in the desert than die of thirst. Inhabitants of the arid regions of Morocco know this all too well. Morocco has experienced no fewer than 35 floods over the years from 1951 to 2015. Flash floods can fill dry stream beds, ‘oueds’ or ‘wadis,’ very rapidly, often taking a heavy toll in terms of human life. Floods also wreak havoc on property and destroy infrastructure, leaving a legacy of misery for those living in affected regions. Floods are nothing new for Morocco, increasing communities’ resilience. It is where traditionally floodwaters were not always easy to learn from events, welcomed as a source of essential but it is a key element that can be irrigation for crops. But in recent achieved through the right processes. years, rapid population growth and Dirk de Nil, The findings presented here build on CEO Zurich Morocco urbanization have put more people and similar research in other countries, vital infrastructure at risk.
