    Proposal for Morocco

    AFB/PPRC.16/12 19 March 2015 Adaptation Fund Board Project and Programme Review Committee Sixteenth Meeting Bonn, Germany, 7-8 April 2015 Agenda Item 6 h) PROPOSAL FOR MOROCCO AFB/PPRC.16/12 Background 1. The Operational Policies and Guidelines (OPG) for Parties to Access Resources from the Adaptation Fund (the Fund), adopted by the Adaptation Fund Board (the Board), state in paragraph 45 that regular adaptation project and programme proposals, i.e. those that request funding exceeding US$ 1 million, would undergo either a one-step, or a two-step approval process. In case of the one-step process, the proponent would directly submit a fully-developed project proposal. In the two-step process, the proponent would first submit a brief project concept, which would be reviewed by the Project and Programme Review Committee (PPRC) and would have to receive the endorsement of the Board. In the second step, the fully- developed project/programme document would be reviewed by the PPRC, and would ultimately require the Board’s approval. 2. The Templates approved by the Board (OPG, Annex 4) do not include a separate template for project and programme concepts but provide that these are to be submitted using the project and programme proposal template. The section on Adaptation Fund Project Review Criteria states: For regular projects using the two-step approval process, only the first four criteria will be applied when reviewing the 1st step for regular project concept. In addition, the information provided in the 1st step approval process with respect to the review criteria for the regular project concept could be less detailed than the information in the request for approval template submitted at the 2nd step approval process.

ICC The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) is the world business organization. It is the only body that speaks with authority on behalf of enterprises from all sectors in every part of the world, grouping toge- ther thousands of members, companies and associations from 130 countries. ICC promotes an open trade and investment system and the market economy in the context of sustainable growth and deve- lopment. It makes rules that govern the conduct of business across borders. Within a year of the creation of the United Nations it was granted consultative status at the highest level (category A) with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. This is now known as General Category consultative status.

    The Transition of Governance Approaches to Rural Tourism in Southern Morocco

    The transition of governance approaches to rural tourism in Southern Morocco Andreas Kagermeier 1*, Lahoucine Amzil 2 and Brahim Elfasskaoui 3 Received: 31/07/2018 Accepted: 13/08/2018 1 Freizeit- und Tourismusgeographie, Universität Trier, Universitätsring 15, 54296 Trier, Germany, e-mail: [email protected], Phone: +49-172-9600865 2 Centre d'Études et de Recherches Géographiques (CERGéo), Faculté des Lettres et des Sciences Humaines, Université Mohammed V – Rabat, Avenue Mohamed Ben Abdellah Erregragui, 10000 Rabat, Morocco, E-mail: [email protected] 3 Département de Géographie, Faculté des Lettres et des Sciences Humaines, Université Moulay Ismaïl, Meknès, B.P. 11202, 50070 Meknès – Zitoune, Morocco, E-mail: [email protected] * Corresponding author Coordinating editor: Werner Gronau Abstract In the Global South traditional hierarchical steering modes are still quite widespread. The significantly changing conditions of competition in recent decades have boosted the need for innovation in tourism. As such, the core challenge for tourism development in many countries of the Global South has been to attain an innovation-based orientation by using stimuli from destination governance. This article is an attempt to analyse the factors that might facilitate the diffusion of an innovation-based orientation. As a basic hypothesis, the article adopts the “counter-flow principle”, with exchange between different spheres as stimuli for innovation. Taking the Souss-Massa region in Southern Morocco as a case study, the paper describes an analysis of the positions of public and private stakeholders as well as civil society organisations. The main question is what kind of relationship between the stakeholders would foster effective governance processes among local, regional and (inter-)national stakeholders.

Faculté des Sciences, Université Ibn Tofail. B.P. 133, CP 14000, Kenitra, Maroc. Accepted 2 September, 2013 This study was conducted between December 2009 and November 2010 in oriental region, and 120 local goats were examined by helminthological autopsy for the identification of parasitic nematode. Six species of parasites were identified as follows: Trichostrongylus colubriformis (52.50%), Téladorsagia circumcincta (48.33%), Skrjabinema ovis (42.50%), Trichuris ovis (23.33%), Haemonchus contortus (19.16%) and Nematodirus spathiger (18.33%). The absence of liver flukes was noted, and parasite intensities were very high for species H. contortus (63), N. spathiger (62.37) and S. ovis (51.5). Overall, the mean parasite intensity was higher in female hosts than in male hosts. Seasonal dynamics of parasites indicated that the season has no significant influence on the parasitism prevalence. Key words: Goats, prevalence, nematodes, parasite, seasonal, Figuig.

Situation analysis Description of the disaster Morocco was affected by a cold wave on Saturday the 27th of February 2016, this wave caused by a polar air mass flow passing from the North Pole to Europe and North Africa generated westerly winds accompanied with extreme and low temperatures. The regions of the Middle Atlas and the north of the High Atlas and the neighbouring plains witnessed severe thunderstorms, while significant snow fell over the High and Middle Atlas, the Rif and the highlands of eastern Morocco. This precipitation was accompanied by moderate to strong winds, and temperatures that dropped significantly, reaching exceptionally low records, particularly in the interior regions of the country and the Atlas Mountains. The wave caused economic losses and isolation for several areas in Morocco, the electricity was interrupted as well and houses suffered from structural damages and water supply interruption due to the freezing temperatures. Summary of response Overview of Host National Society Actions taken by Moroccan Red Crescent in response to the cold wave: Following on from the initial weather alerts, MRCS mobilised and organised intervention teams to assess needs and to respond to the most urgent needs MRCS volunteers and branches maintained close contact with MRCS HQ to report on the changing situation and updating on the results of needs assessments MRCS established First aid posts to assist those affected.

    EUROPEAN STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY CENTER (ESISC) THE POLISARIO FRONT CREDIBLE NEGOTIATIONS PARTNER OR AFTER-EFFECT OF THE COLD WAR AND OBSTACLE TO A POLITICAL SOLUTION IN WESTERN SAHARA? Under the leadership of Claude MONIQUET, ESISC President November 2005 METHODOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS Founded in May 2002, the ESISC (European Strategic Intelligence and Security Centre) has taken on, from its inception, the work of observing and analyzing the international terrorism and strategic questions that had been conducted for many years by some of its promoters. The work of the ESISC analysts is based: . On the systematic examination of all the “open sources” (newspapers, magazines, books, etc) available on the questions of terrorism, political violence and strategic problems. On close relations and exchanges with other research centres, in particular in the United States, Europe, the Middle East and South Asia. On regular meetings with political and military leaders, and members of the intelligence communities. On ad hoc field missions carried out by ESISC researchers or by other experts appointed by them. This systematic approach has enabled the ESISC to create and develop prospective analysis systems, databases (biographical, geographical, thematic and, in terms of terrorism and organized crime, “Perpetrator Group” and “Target Group”) and other instruments that contribute to the permanent evaluation of the tensions, the general threat and the relative threat relating to one or more given targets. This analysis is made available to ESISC’s clients and partners. This report falls within the ESISC’s STUDIES remit. The ESISC further publishes many analysis and synthesis papers that are available on its website: www.esisc.org For all contact: [email protected] This report remains the exclusive property of the ESISC, and any publication other than that expressly envisaged by the law would require prior written permission.
