Modernization of the Weekly Market in Moulay Idriss Zerhoun with a Budget of 10 Million Dirhams: A Long-Awaited Achievement Requiring Strict Governance

The Fes-Meknes region is preparing to approve a partnership agreement for the implementation of the “Modernization of the Weekly Market in Moulay Idriss Zerhoun” project, located in the Meknes province. This initiative falls under the second strategic axis of the 2022-2027 Regional Development Program and aims to achieve steady economic growth and promote employment through upgrading infrastructure and market facilities. The project has a total budget of 10 million dirhams, fully financed by the Fes-Meknes Regional Council.

This long-awaited project is considered a major achievement for both local residents and traders, as it will improve the market’s infrastructure, regulate local trade, create new job opportunities, and enhance working conditions. Additionally, it will increase comfort for visitors and users, including both merchants and consumers, while also supporting local products through better organization of commercial spaces.

Despite widespread optimism surrounding the project, there is growing demand for strict governance in its monitoring and execution to ensure that the allocated budget is properly managed and to prevent any waste of public funds. A source from Fes News highlighted the critical role of oversight institutions in ensuring transparency and accountability. The Regional Agency for Project Implementation, which is responsible for executing the project, is urged to provide periodic reports on the progress of construction and the allocation of financial resources.

The same source also emphasized the need for swift execution and the avoidance of administrative and technical delays, which could push back the project’s completion timeline and negatively impact local communities and market beneficiaries.

As work is set to begin, Fes News will closely monitor this project, providing updates on its progress while focusing on transparency, good governance, and ensuring that the local community fully benefits from this important development initiative.
