A special source informed Fes News that the Fes-Meknes region is preparing to launch the second phase of the regional program for the establishment of automotive trade and activities zones as part of the 2022-2027 Regional Development Plan. This project falls under the strategic axis of “Steady Economic Growth and Job Promotion” and aims to organize the automotive trades sector in the provinces of El Hajeb, Moulay Yacoub, Sefrou, Taounate, and Taza.
The total budget allocated for this project is approximately 95 million dirhams, jointly funded by the Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts, and Social and Solidarity Economy and the Fes-Meknes Regional Council. The initiative includes the creation of five industrial zones dedicated to automotive-related trades, such as car mechanics, bodywork, painting, and welding. The goal is to group artisans currently operating in narrow streets and residential areas while reducing pollution and noise levels in the targeted cities.
According to the source from Fes News, the project seeks to achieve several strategic objectives, including improving working conditions for artisans, reducing legal disputes between craftsmen and residents, and promoting sustainable local development. Additionally, the new zones will be specially designed to accommodate automotive-related activities, contributing to infrastructure enhancement and a better urban environment in the concerned provinces.
Financial Contributions and Project Management
The funding structure of the project is as follows:
- Fes-Meknes Regional Council: 80.75 million dirhams
- Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts, and Social and Solidarity Economy: 14.25 million dirhams
These funds will be transferred to a dedicated bank account under the supervision of Al Omrane Fes-Meknes, which will act as the delegated project manager and oversee all phases of the project’s implementation.
The source emphasized the importance of financial oversight and strict accountability to ensure that the allocated budget is spent efficiently and transparently. A steering committee, chaired by the Wali of the region, will monitor the project’s execution and address any potential challenges or risks.
This initiative aligns with government policies aimed at developing economic and industrial zones across Morocco’s regions and reinforcing the role of regional authorities in supporting productive sectors, in accordance with the recommendations of the New Development Model.
Fes News will continue to provide updates on this ambitious project, closely monitoring the commitment of stakeholders to transparency and good governance in achieving its development goals.
