It presents the level of achievement by our country of these goals, under 2020, and the prospects for their evolution by 2030, and thus falls within the framework of the stipulations of paragraphs 79 and 84 of Resolution 70/1 on the Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on September 25, 2015 and to which our country has subscribed, like the international community, after having been one of the active contributors to the development of such Agenda. The national character of this report owes it as much to the participatory process which presided over its preparation as to the institutional independence and scientific competence of the High Commissioner’s Office for Planning, the national institution in charge of demographic and socio- economic studies, foresight, and official statistics, that has assumed the mission of developing content of this report, after ensuring the monitoring and evaluation of the achievements on which it reports. The mission of implementing this participatory approach was assigned by decree of July 17, 2019 to a "National Commission on Sustainable Development" chaired by the Head of Government and made up, as full members, of all ministerial departments, large national institutions, large public entities, socio-professional organizations, and non-governmental organizations. The High Commissioner's Office for Planning, which is a member of the National Commission, is charged, by the provisions of the same decree, with the dual mission of taking stock of the achievements of the SDGs per government department and of assessing the prospects for their development in the light of the public policies announced by the Government. Since 2016 and twice, this participatory option has been, in fact, the rule in the process of producing reports of the same nature. This option was the rule then within the framework of a partnership between the Moroccan Government, the High Commission for Planning and the representations in Morocco of the United Nations system and gave rise to national and regional consultations in which participated, alongside delegates from all the relevant ministerial departments, representatives of business circles as well as members of the academia and of civil society. } Voluntary National Review of SDG implementation 1111 The creation of the "National Commission on Sustainable Development" has, moreover, responded to one of the recommendations resulting from these consultations and to a conclusion of the report of the Court of Auditors on the SDGs addressed to the Government, inviting, both, the latter to give this participatory process a permanent institutional framework ensuring the pluralism of contributions and the impartiality of their evaluations. Prepared by the High Commissioner's Office for Planning on the basis of the statistical data base (SDB) dedicated by High Commission for Planning to the SDGs and the reports by goal of the government departments concerned, this report, after having been submitted for debate within the "National Commission on Sustainable Development” and after having received their unanimous approval, was adopted by the Moroccan Government as a National Report on the achievements by the Kingdom of Morocco, for the year 2020. This report presents the panorama, per goal, of the achievements by the Kingdom of Morocco, of the 2015-2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Program, and assesses the evolution scenarios for 2030, in the light of governmental, institutional, economic, social, and environmental policies. A report on the contributions of civil society to the analysis of the SDGs and its role in their achievement by 2030 is, as has been the practice since 2016, presented in the appendix, even if this consultation – it should be specified - was, this time, organized online, due to the exceptional circumstances of the pandemic. A preamble provides a summary of the contents of the report as it was sent to the United Nations on the eve of the 2020 High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development and posted on the official website of this Forum. This report is called upon to be the subject of a broad communication campaign, with the participation of all national institutions and our international

  • High-Speed Rail in Developing Countries and Potential Inequalities of Use: the Case of Morocco
    25 número 6 - junio - 2018. Pág 37 - 59 High-speed rail in developing countries and potential inequalities of use: the case of Morocco Delaplace, Marie Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée-Lab’Urba-EUP1 Abstract The 21st century is characterized by the extension of the high‐speed rail network in developing or emerging countries. While lines are already in operation in China and Turkey, others are under construction in Morocco and Iran, and projects exist in numerous other countries (Brazil, Malaysia, Egypt, etc.) in very different socio‐economic contexts and characterized by significant inequalities. What are the effects of high‐speed lines in these countries? By improving territories’ accessibility, high‐speed lines can foster population mobility and exchanges within a given country or between two or more countries in the case of international lines. But, especially in developing countries, one key issue is knowing for whom and for what use they are built. The aim of this article is to show that the creation of a high‐speed line could reinforce the existing inequalities that are widespread in this type of country because the uses of such a line are spatially, economically and socially quite different. Our analysis will be illustrated by the case of Morocco. Keywords: High‐speed rail, inequalities, developing countries, Morocco 1 Delaplace, Marie.

Introduction In January 2017, there were 37,343 km of high‐speed lines (HSLs) in the world, with a further 15,884 km under construction; almost 36,000 km were planned worldwide for completion by 2050 (UIC, 2017).
