The INDH's contribution to the financing of these actions and projects programmed during the past year amounts to 84.656 MDH, according to data from the Social Action Division (DAS) of the Al Haouz province prefecture.

These projects concern the sectors of road construction and rehabilitation (9.7 km of roads, tracks, and engineering structures, i.e., 18,740 beneficiaries), connection to the electricity and solar energy network, and supply of drinking water (42,000 beneficiary households).

Regarding the programme inherent to "supporting people in precarious situations," 20 actions and projects targeting, notably, people with disabilities without income, women in situations of great precariousness, and abandoned children, were approved for an investment of 7.64 MDH, 7.47 MDH of which was covered by the INDH.

The number of beneficiaries was established at 1,807 people, the same source specifies, noting that 40.8% of the budget benefited people in precarious situations, knowing that 59.2% of this budgetary envelope was allocated to improving the quality of service within the framework of the programme.

Similarly, 58 actions and projects, financed largely by the INDH (9.48 MDH), were validated under the programme relating to "improving income and economic inclusion of young people," according to the DAS, which highlights that 45 companies were created (entrepreneurship axis) and 11 projects financed (income improvement axis), i.e., 284 beneficiaries.
