Objectives
This project takes place in the context of post-earthquake reconstruction following the 2023 earthquake in Morocco’s High Atlas, where pre-existing vulnerabilities (isolation, poverty, climate risks) have been significantly exacerbated. Despite multiple initiatives, reconstruction efforts remain limited, insufficiently adapted to local contexts, and difficult to replicate.
The intervention aims to analyze the barriers to the mobilization of the Fondation de France by Moroccan CSOs, and to better understand the conditions required to scale up reconstruction efforts.
The study therefore contributes to guiding more effective, sustainable, and context-sensitive reconstruction strategies.
Results
- 1 survey conducted 20 months after the earthquake to analyse the dynamics of reconstruction and the obstacles encountered by stakeholders.
- 33 support organisations for affected communities surveyed, including NGOs/CSOs, national institutions, community organisations and foundations from five provinces in Morocco.
- 3 field visits carried out to meet local stakeholders and communities affected by the earthquake.
Key findings of the survey:
- 70% of buildings initially requiring rehabilitation will be reduced to 30% by 2025, a trend marked by the demolition of structures rather than their reinforcement.
18% of organisations mobilised without prior expertise have committed to reconstruction despite limited technical capacity.
76% of organisations face difficulties in accessing funding and consider the available resources insufficient in relation to needs.
