Moroccan Director of the Directorate for the Promotion of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Mohamed Noufel Amer, has reassured families and associations working with people with disabilities that services will continue uninterrupted. During an interview on Moroccan television, Amer explained that delays in launching a new version of the "Mouazara" program were due to reworking and developing new mechanisms for the Social Protection and Social Cohesion Fund.

The new version of the program aims to maintain continuity of services, improve them, and expand intervention areas to include support for schooling, technical assistance, rehabilitation, and professional integration. Amer emphasized that associations play a crucial role in providing services to over 27,000 beneficiaries. The program's development seeks to address previous issues and better respond to the diverse needs of targeted groups.

The "Mouazara" program focuses on rehabilitation, integration, and follow-up, requiring coordination among various concerned sectors. Amer's statement aims to reassure families and workers in the field that the current phase prioritizes program development and continuity of services. This move is expected to maintain achievements and improve service quality, responding to the expectations of people with disabilities and their families.

The program's development comes amid anticipation from families and associations regarding the future of services, particularly support for schooling children with disabilities. With the new version, authorities aim to build on previous experiences and enhance the program's effectiveness. This includes addressing previous shortcomings and adapting to emerging needs.

According to Amer, the current phase is critical in ensuring that services are not only maintained but also improved. This involves revising and refining the program's mechanisms to better serve people with disabilities. By doing so, authorities hope to promote social inclusion and provide adequate support to those in need.

The "Mouazara" program is part of Morocco's efforts to enhance social protection and promote the rights of people with disabilities. By engaging with associations and stakeholders, authorities aim to create a more inclusive environment that supports the well-being and integration of people with disabilities.

As the program continues to evolve, it is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of people with disabilities in Morocco. With a focus on continuity, improvement, and expansion of services, the initiative is seen as a step towards promoting social cohesion and protecting vulnerable groups.
