World Bank: Morocco exceeding MDGs on water supply




Morocco is on its way to exceeding the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on water supply and sanitation, the World Bank said in a document.



World Bank: Morocco exceeding MDGs on water supply
Between 2005 and 2009, public spending for water supply and sanitation infrastructure programs in the rural and urban areas rose from 5 to 25% of the overall public expenditure for water, it noted.

Thanks to speeding up water supply programs in the rural zone, the rate of access to drinking water jumped from 50% in 2004 to 87% in 2009, the same source added.

The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) collaborated with Morocco on several reforms aimed at solving the country's problems related to the management of water resources, the Bank recalled. (MAP)
