Morocco Allocates 8 Million Dirhams to Aid Former Border Workers in Nador

Eight million dirhams have thus been allocated to a support fund, which will be dedicated to women with projects, whose social situation has been heavily impacted by the closure of the land border with Melilla.

The signing ceremony of the agreement, in which the National Initiative for Human Development is a stakeholder, took place in the presence of the Head of Government, Saâdeddine El Othmani, and several Moroccan and foreign personalities.

These women are thus called upon to present income-generating projects in order to benefit from the support fund, underlines the President of the Provincial Council of Nador. Like the actions carried out by the INDH, the latter will be subject to the appreciation of a special commission.

Several women carriers found themselves unemployed following the closure of the border post with Melilla. Reduced to precariousness, they have been demanding for several months the intervention of the authorities and the opening of the borders between the two countries.
