WASH context
MOROCCOBuilding water management capacity in rural communes
Morocco has made major progress in the drinking water sector over recent decades.
Thanks to investment in dams, distribution networks, desalination plants and rural water supply programmes, access to drinking water is now widespread.

Despite these results, the country faces strong pressure on its water resources because of recurring drought, climate change and rising demand for water.
To secure supply, Morocco is building new infrastructure, notably seawater desalination plants, interconnections between river basins and water-saving programmes.
According to data from the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme and national institutions, the basic sanitation access rate is around 96% nationally, with wide variation between areas.
Despite this progress, challenges remain, particularly on wastewater treatment and pollution reduction.
Morocco continues to build capacity, with new treatment plants and growing reuse of treated wastewater for agriculture and green spaces.

Our work
ACTING FOR WATER
IN MOROCCO
In the isolated communes of Bouzmou and Imilchil, in the heart of the High Atlas, HAMAP supplies IT equipment and maintenance tool kits to the 16 village water management associations.
We rehabilitate and repair water structures damaged by winter frost: wells, water towers and pipework.
Members of the associations are trained in leak detection, repair and the financial management of the water service.
