Moroccan Minister of Interior, Abdelouafi Laftit, has issued a detailed memorandum to regional governors and provincial administrators regarding procedures for approving the construction of personal housing on communal lands. This initiative aims to organize and standardize the process of utilizing these lands by members of communal groups.
Key points of the memorandum:
- Clarification of the procedure for submitting and reviewing building requests on communal lands.
- Specification of necessary documents for submitting applications.
- Explanation of the role of the Provincial Guardianship Council in approving these requests.
- Confirmation that these procedures do not conflict with the competencies of other administrative bodies.
According to the document, this memorandum was prepared in collaboration with governors and administrators, taking into account practical realities and legal requirements. It aims to meet the needs of communal group members and encourage their settlement.
It’s worth noting that this memorandum comes in the wake of Law No. 62.17 concerning administrative guardianship over communal groups, which abolished previous procedures for approving the use of communal lands for personal housing construction.
Minister Laftit has called on local officials to disseminate this memorandum and ensure its proper implementation, while reporting any difficulties that may arise during application to the ministry.
This step reflects the Moroccan government’s efforts to improve the management of communal lands and facilitate the construction process for its members, while maintaining a balance between the needs of the population and legal and regulatory controls.
The memorandum is expected to streamline the process of building personal housing on communal lands, potentially benefiting many rural communities across Morocco. It also demonstrates the government’s commitment to addressing longstanding issues related to land use and housing in traditional communal areas.
