This is a project designed to help build the institutional capacities of Morocco's education system by implementing decentralization and deconcentration. The project aims to support Morocco's education system in its desire to decentralize and deconcentrate authority and responsibility to regional education and training academies (AREFs) and educational institutions. Technical assistance thus supports and advises Morocco's education system in implementing operational procedures and changes to be made in view of Morocco's decision to implement its reform, and especially to establish a decentralized and deconcentrated management procedure.
