This study focuses on the implementation and challenges associated with the generalization of the social protection system in Morocco. Since the 2000s, Morocco has launched several social protection programs to combat poverty, improve social coverage for workers and address other socio-economic challenges. However, despite these efforts, these schemes are often perceived as fragmented, limited, unequal and fragile, according to the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE, 2015). Against this backdrop, Morocco has embarked on a major reform of the healthcare sector, notably with the launch of the generalization of social protection in 2020. This ambitious reform raises questions; which our study vice to answer.

Our study is based on an exhaustive literature review, bringing together existing data and work on the social protection system in Morocco. The descriptive analysis of the various sources highlights the key trends in the financing of social protection in the country; one of the major issues at stake lies in the challenges of this reform to generalize social protection. Its success will essentially depend on the government's ability to mobilize, in a sustainable and equitable manner, the financial resources needed to guarantee the economic and social security of the population. Particular attention must be paid to the challenges of raising funds efficiently, ensuring the viability and sustainability of the system, and improving the efficiency and equity of social benefits. Nevertheless, limited access to up-to-date information has hampered in-depth analysis of certain financial characteristics, making a comprehensive assessment of the issues at stake a complex undertaking. In conclusion, our study highlights the critical importance of ongoing, in-depth analysis of the implementation of social protection in Morocco, as well as the need to overcome current obstacles to ensure the success and sustainability of this essential reform.
