On Tuesday, September 16, 2025, in Rabat, the Head of Government, Mr. Aziz Akhannouch, chaired a meeting of the Ministerial Commission in charge of steering the reform of the social protection system. The meeting was devoted to reviewing the progress of the various programs under the social protection project, in line with the Royal Vision, monitoring the registration process in the National Population Registry and the Unified Social Registry, the registration process for the “AMO-Tadamon” scheme, as well as tracking the implementation of the direct social assistance program for eligible families.
At the beginning of the meeting, the Head of Government reaffirmed the government’s commitment to the optimal implementation of the national solidarity project aimed at the generalization of social protection, within a clear and integrated vision, and in full compliance with the timeline set by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist him. He stressed that the government continues its efforts to lay the foundations of a fairer and more sustainable national social policy, in accordance with the Royal Vision.
During this meeting, the Commission reviewed the progress of the registration operation in the National Population Registry and the Unified Social Registry, which is continuing at a steady pace. The number of registered individuals in the National Population Registry has reached 22.5 million people, while the number of families registered in the Unified Social Registry has reached 5.3 million families.
The Commission also noted the increase in the number of beneficiaries of health coverage schemes (AMO-Tadamon, AMO for employees, AMO for self-employed workers, and AMO-Achamil), which rose from 8.6 million to 24.3 million beneficiaries of Mandatory Health Insurance managed by the National Social Security Fund, during the period from 2021 to the end of 2024.
The Commission highlighted the significant progress made in the generalization of medical coverage, while stressing the importance of addressing challenges to the sustainability of this project, such as the collection of contribution dues.
Regarding the “AMO-Tadamon” scheme, the Commission noted that around 4 million families (approximately 11 million people) have benefited from this scheme, pointing out that the number of AMO-Tadamon applications submitted daily to the CNSS reached over 102,000 files up to July 2025, compared to 93,000 files in July 2024.
The Commission also noted that the government’s establishment of a pension scheme for professionals, self-employed workers, and non-salaried workers has contributed to ensuring conditions of social stability for this active segment of society. This scheme has enabled access to medical coverage for 4.28 million beneficiaries, including insured persons and their dependents.
As for the direct social assistance program, the Commission observed that, in accordance with the High Royal Directives aimed at addressing the various forms of social hardship among poor families, approximately 4 million families had benefited from this program by the end of August 2025, including 5.5 million children and more than 1.3 million people over the age of 60.
The Commission also noted during this meeting that 40.5 billion dirhams in direct assistance have been distributed since the launch of the direct social assistance program in December 2023, with 60% of beneficiary families living in rural areas.
The Commission further emphasized the positive impact of the “exceptional additional aid” implemented by the government to support schooling opportunities and ease the burden of back-to-school expenses for more than 1.8 million families registered in the Unified Social Registry. The targeting capacity of this aid covered 3.2 million students at the start of the current school year.
