Most of the action focuses on the reconstruction of public buildings and the financing of eligible households to rebuild or rehabilitate their individual housing. This involves supporting the Moroccan State in the implementation of its integrated program. However, it appeared essential to reserve part of the European funds to support "Local authorities, public bodies, non-governmental organizations, civil society organizations, cooperatives, professional organizations" in order to complement the action of the State where it is not intended to intervene.
The integration of associative networks in the reconstruction process at the local level responds to a double necessity: (i) firstly to encourage and facilitate links between beneficiaries and administrations. Civil society organizations in affected areas are locally anchored and have in-depth knowledge of the needs, priorities and concerns of people affected by the earthquake. Then, (ii) they will be able to contribute to promoting the engagement of young people in the reconstruction of their territory. A certain number of associations will be able to contribute their know-how, in particular with regard to the effort to revitalize and sustainably cohede the territory, including the preservation of culture and heritage.
The general objective of this call for proposals is to help facilitate the inclusive and participatory aspect of reconstruction and sustainable post-earthquake recovery.
The specific objective(s) of this call for proposals are:
Lot 1: Facilitate the safeguarding and enhancement of heritage in vernacular construction, based on local materials and traditional construction methods;
Lot 2: Strengthen the participatory and community approach in the reconstruction effort through the promotion of a dynamic of inclusive and resilient territorial cohesion.
