Disability in Morocco

Only 25% of Moroccan public administrations are inclusive, according to a new study:

“barely 26% of public administrations have a regulatory framework or formalized guidelines governing the accessibility of services for people with disabilities. Furthermore, basic equipment, particularly adapted sanitary facilities and accessible signage, remains insufficient, especially near the main entrances of administrative buildings.” (In French, Mar, le360)

92 homes for older people: are older people sufficiently protected as the population ages? (In French, 2025, La Vérité)

Nearly 26,000 children with disabilities enrolled in school in 2023, an increase from 16,000 in 2021. (In French, 2024, Le Matin.ma)

Moroccan enterprises give jobs, hope to people with disabilities. “The Mohammed VI National Centre for People with Disabilities (CNMH) initiated in 2010 a programme to assist people with mental disabilities, who are most affected by unemployment.” (2024, France 24) See also a brief video feature from WION.
