En juillet 2017, l’OCP Policy Center a publié un ouvrage collectif intitulé Cohésion Sociale, Institutions et Politiques Publiques sous la direction du Professeur Abdallah Saaf, Senior Fellow à OCP Policy Center. Cet ouvrage est le fruit des différentes réflexions échangées à l’occasion d’une conférence organisée le Jeudi 27 Octobre 2016 qui se sont traduites par des contributions écrites. A cette occasion, les auteurs se sont donné comme objectif d’éclairer la notion de « cohésion sociale » en traitant de son histoire, ses implications ainsi que son implémentation à travers différents chapitres. Alors que le Maroc se développe sur le plan économique, les revendications sociales croient en parallèle ce qui nécessite d’assurer une cohésion sociale garante d’une paix sociale. Ce Policy Brief se propose de revenir sur la notion de cohésion sociale dans son origine en sociologie, de présenter brièvement l’évolution du Maroc sur le plan sociétal et enfin, de revenir sur les idées phares développées dans le livre.

    The April issue of the IMF’s “World Economic Outlook (WEO)” included a chapter on how globalization has helped knowledge from technology leaders spread faster than before.

    For decades, the North African Maghreb has been both a source of irregular migration to Europe and a gateway for sub-Saharan Africans transiting to Europe. Now the Maghreb is also emerging as a destination for migration. While Europe remains the preferred destination for most African migrants, reaching Europe is becoming increasingly difficult at precisely the time that migration pressures in Africa are mounting. Africa’s massive migration is just getting started—and this presents ...

    Since 2011 and the end of the post-election crisis, Côte d’Ivoire has returned to impressive economic growth. The country and its capital are drawing attention from a growing number of investors, and the “Abidjanian middle classes” are widely publicised and sought after. At the same time, Abidjanian consumption spaces have become particularly diversified and transformed. Abidjan provides many options for consumers who are operating in a competitive environment with a wide selection ...

    This proposal seeks to contribute to reduce, in a cost-effective way, Morocco’s unusually high, persistent and growing unemployment level for university graduates1. It complements and enhances the existing Université Internationale de Rabat (UIR) Public-Private Partnership (PPP). Tertiary enrolment in Morocco has been increasing above what seems to be labor market absorptive capacity. Over the past decade, the share of the unemployed with university degrees as a percentage of total ...

    Brazilian conditional cash transfers are small amounts of money the government distributes directly to very poor households on condition that their children attend school and are vaccinated. The money goes to the women of the household, because research undertaken in the 1990s – and later confirmed in other countries – showed an increase in babies' height and weight when women have more control over household income. Greater control over household resources by women can strengthen a ...

    Ramaphosa at the helm of the ANC: A cloaked cohabitation

    Cyril Ramaphosa outpassed Dlamini Zuma in the elections for replacing Jacob Zuma at the head of the ANC. Yet, his victory does not allow him to enjoy a huge success given the short gap he has recorded against the Dlamini Zuma but also given the balance of power within the decision-making bodies. However, we must bear in mind that the current President, notoriously involved in corruption cases, is still being detracted even by his own supporters. Hence, such elements raise the questi ...

    A more realistic image of Africa has been recommended by participants of a Breakout Dinner on the continental“narratives”, during the 6th edition of the Atlantic Dialogues. This discussion is reported here under the Chatham House rules – i.e. no quotes from the participants, who have expressed their views off the record.     Changing the narratives on Africa has to do with exploiting Africans full potential: plural identities evolving in various fields, booming content production a ...

    December 7, 2017
    The CNN report broadcasted on November 14th on a sale of African migrants as slaves in Lybia has caused a wave of shock and protest. More than ever, the African migration, often perceived as a scourge, is on the agenda. The Atlantic Dialogues will discuss it in another way. Why ? Because the cold analysis of facts and figures shows that the African clandestine migration to Europe, far from an invasion, may well be an opportunity...  « African Migration : A Cause for Panic ? » With ...
