Advocacy for Rural Infrastructure Development
In a recent parliamentary session, Deputy Idris Chabchali made a compelling address to the Minister of Equipment and Water regarding the urgent need to enhance rural road infrastructure across the country. He emphasized that the development of such infrastructure has transitioned from being an optional endeavor to a fundamental necessity for achieving spatial justice and fostering economic and social integration. Chabchali highlighted the specific challenges faced by the Sefrou region, which serves as a clear example of the infrastructure-related obstacles that hinder growth. Many national roadways in the area are in a state of notable disrepair, adversely impacting agricultural and tourism activities while exacerbating the difficulties faced by the local population, particularly in mountainous areas.
During the oral question session held on Monday in the House of Representatives, Chabchali urged the government to expedite the maintenance and rehabilitation programs for national roads in rural areas. He advocated for measures that would facilitate investment in this sector, aligning with the economic potential that the Sefrou region possesses. He assured that improved rural road networks would not only bolster local investment but also ease the marketing of agricultural products. Furthermore, such enhancements would increase the attractiveness of rural areas for investment and mountain tourism, ultimately leading to balanced regional development that meets the aspirations of local citizens.
