    Why do policy implementation and public service delivery too often fail to achieve the goals initially formulated by policy leaders, and how to fix it? What matters for successful implementation and what can policy leaders do? In a previous paper, we proposed a synthesis of the study of policy implementation and the cause of policy failure. This policy paper explains the key factors leading to policy success, and provides policymakers with actionable solutions to help formulate and ...

    Dans le sillage des débats actuels sur la contribution de la femme à la création de richesses, le présent ouvrage s’essaye d’y contribuer moyennant des approches méthodologiques innovantes couvrant plusieurs champs d’analyse conciliant l’égalité de genre, les politiques publiques et la croissance économique au Maroc. Il offre, ainsi, un diagnostic exhaustif de l’évolution des inégalités de genre en termes, notamment, d'accès à l'emploi, à l'éducation, à la santé, à l'infrastructure, ...

It explains why critical differences often occur between the initially formulated goals of a public policy and the final outputs after its implementation. This insight is extremely ...

    Combattants terroristes étrangers : Le temps des retours
    Authors

    January 12, 2017
    La défaite des organisations terroristes au Moyen-Orient est attendue même s’elle prendra encore quelques temps, tellement Daech et Jabhat Fath Al Sham montrent de la résistance. La première du fait de ses équipements et de ses tactiques de guérillas, la seconde du fait que depuis qu’elle n’est plus une filiale d’Al-Qaeda a pu rallier d’autres groupes syriens. Les deux organisations résistent également parce qu’elles sont renforcées par des milliers de Combattants Terroristes Etrang ...

    In September 2015, Heads of State met at the United Nations General Assembly to announce the end of the term of “Millennium Development Goals” (MDGs) and commit to a new set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 17 SDGs were written by disciplinary teams, and as they are formulated now, they recognize the interlinkages between well-being, economic prosperity and a healthy environment. The SDGs include a wide spectrum of topics and issues: food security, poverty, gender inequa ...

    November 30, 2016
    L’objet de la présente étude est d’essayer d’explorer les trajectoires du mouvement associatif marocain. Celles-ci peuvent permettre d’en dégager les caractéristiques principales. Cette histoire ne peut être saisie de manière exhaustive en dépit de l’existence d’une importante littérature monographique, historienne, anthropologique, sociologique, voire conceptuelle, méthodologique ou théorique. En l’état actuel, elle reste inconstante, dispersée, orale, diversement contée par ses ac ...

    We develop an interregional computable general equilibrium model to help assess the ex ante impact of transportation infrastructure policies in Egypt. The model is integrated with a GIS network. We illustrate the analytical capabilities of the model by looking at the domestic integration of the country. Improvements of transportation costs among Egyptian governorates and of their links to the broader world economy are considered in stylized simulations. The results provide quantitat ...

    Mobilité interne et migration : état des lieux et impacts socio-securitaires
    Authors
    Abdelhak Bassou
    October 10, 2016
    Les personnes sont certes libres de choisir les lieux de leurs séjours dans le pays où ils résident, ce mouvement interne n’est pourtant pas sans impacts sur les politiques de l’Etat et sur ses stratégies. Les différences de peuplement sont à l’origine des disparités interrégionales qui à leur tour agissent sur la mobilité. Le dépeuplement de certaines régions peut les transformer en zones grises et incontrôlées, créant par là même des soucis sécuritaires et de défense. Si l’Etat n ...
