SUBJECT:  MEPI 4TH QUARTER UPDATE FOR MOROCCO 
 
REF: A) 07 Rabat 1724 
 
1.  Summary:  This cable highlights the MEPI programs and 
initiatives undertaken in Morocco from July 1 - September 30. During 
the quarter the Women in Technology (WIT) program was launched. 
Highlights from existing programs included activities by the 
Advancing Learning and Employability for a Better Future (ALEF), 
MEPI Alumni Network and the American Bar Association (ABA). 
Implementers are partnering with local NGOs at the grassroots level 
to support numerous programs committed to reform in the four MEPI 
pillars.  End Summary. 
 
 
 
------------------------- 
LAUNCH OF THE WIT PROGRAM 
------------------------- 
2. Minister of Social Development, Family and Solidarity Nouzka 
Skalli officially launched the WIT Morocco program in Rabat on July 
9, 2008.  Also attending the event were representatives form the 
U.S. Embassy, Microsoft Morocco, several members of the media and 
Moroccan NGOs.  The WIT program in Morocco established partnerships 
with local actors of development that will assist in implementing 
the program in three main regions: Oriental (Oujda-Jerrada), Center 
(Azrou-Ein Leuh- Timahdit) and South (Marrakech Tensift El Haouz). 
WIT was designed by The Institute of International Education (IIE) 
West Coast Center to build the capacity of organizations serving 
women in Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Oman, Saudi Arabia, United 
Arab Emirates, and Yemen.  In Morocco, the WIT program is hosted by 
Tanmia, a Moroccan NGO based in Rabat. 
3. During the month of July, WIT Morocco organized Trainings of 
Trainers on Microsoft's Unlimited Potential Curriculum (UP), 
Professional Development (PD) and Business Planning for 
Sustainability (BPS).  Trainers were introduced to the various 
methods of operating their centers and taught how to use their 
resources on a cost recovery model.  The WIT trainings contain two 
fields: The Information Technology and Communication (ICT) training 
(based on the Microsoft Unlimited Potential program) includes an 
introduction to computers, file and document management, word 
processing, as well as training on Excel, Access and PowerPoint. 
The second area provides training on professional development, 
through various modules including teamwork, conflict resolution, 
communication, inclusion to the job market, and leadership.

ALEF ACTIVITIES 
--------------- 
 
4. The 4th quarter marked the transition from closure of the 
original ALEF literacy program and initiating activities under the 
MEPI awarded follow-on grant in July 2008.  ALEF is soon expected to 
submit their final report for the previous grant.  The report is 
currently in the final editing stage after ALEF determined it was 
necessary to conduct field evaluations to clarify questions on 
previous results in one province. Some of the highlights of the 
final report include findings that the innovative Passerelle 
approach integrating pre-literacy program in local languages, Darija 
and Amazighe, resulted in increased levels of learning, reduced 
dropout rates, improved individual empowerment and greater cost 
effectiveness.  The latter is due to the attainment of an equal (or 
higher) level of learning with fewer class hours. 
 
5. The major activities of the quarter following the signing of the 
new MEPI grant agreement included the development of the final work 
plan and the agreement on and initiation of key planning activities 
for the upcoming year with the National Office for Literacy (DLCA). 
Specific activities included: development of overall strategic plan 
for 2008-09; completion and approval of annual work plan with DLCA 
and MEPI;  selection of six regions (two new ones) to participate in 
program activities for 2008-2009, in collaboration with DLCA; 
printing (by DLCA, at their expense) of 5000 copies of trainer's 
guide; meetings with DLCA staff to prepare for the start-up of the 
new literacy cycle in November 2008 and for the first training of 
trainers workshops scheduled for October 2008;  coordination and 
planning workshop conducted with regional provincial representatives 
of DLCA; support to regional and provincial DLCA staff in the 
development of the action plans for the integration of the 
Paserelles (Pre-literacy programs) into their literacy programs and 
training of trainers activities.  Another noteworthy event was the 
participation of an ALEF associate from the DLCA in an international 
literacy conference in Nepal at which she presented the 
ALEF-supported Passerelles model and results.

MEPI ALUMNI NETWORK ACTIVITIES 
 
RABAT 00001025  002 OF 002 
 
 
------------------------------ 
 
6. During the month of July, a group of MEPI Alumni took part in a 
creative initiative that brought tangible change to Rhamna in 
southern Morocco - one of the country's least developed areas. 
Through the efforts of a coalition of MEPI partner organizations 
including Association Femmes Artisannes, Tanmia, and Association 
Marocaine d'Appui ` la Promotion de la 
Petite Entreprise (AMAPPE), as well as ambitious individuals from 
the MEPI Alumni community and various sponsors, the Caravan for 
Women Economic Empowerment project was created.  The project 
assisted Rhamna's local population in developing new sources of 
income and economic opportunities. 
 
7. A group of Rhamna Women along with a number of MEPI Alumni 
volunteers participated in an exchange visit to the north of 
Morocco.  They visited successful women cooperatives and 
associations as well as fair trade boutiques.  There was an amazing 
exchange of knowledge and information between the northern and 
southern women.  The Rhamna women were amazed at how these women 
turned a simple skill into a real source of income.  After returning 
back to the region and receiving cooperatives, marketing, and 
communication skills training from a field expert, two women were 
selected to represent the caravan at the national exhibition of 
social economy in Kenitra.  These women brought their products as 
well as their colleagues' and met important actors that were 
interested in helping them to further develop their cooperatives. 
 
8. On July 19th, more than 150 people representing local civil 
society, government, and business leaders attended a Rhamna Women 
led conference in Benguerir. For the first time, members of the 
Rhamna Womens group stood in front of a crowd and shared how this 
caravan opened doors and enabled them to become women leaders ready 
to make a change in their community.  At the end of the conference, 
the Rhamna women were given awards certificates as an appreciation 
of their efforts. 
 
-------------- 
ABA ACTIVITIES 
-------------- 
 
9. In July, Judge Thomas Wallitsch conducted a workshop for Moroccan 
judge-trainers of the Institute Superieure de la Magistrature (ISM). 
 This is the judicial training institute for Morocco aimed at 
defining the relevant ethics curriculum and identifying topics that 
will be subjects of comprehensive legal case studies.   The 
curriculum developed in this workshop formed the basis for a 
following two-day training session held on September 25-26 led by 
Judge Karen Klein and conducted for trainers of the ISM.  The Board 
of Directors of the national judges association ("Hassania") held a 
final planning meeting on September 26 to prepare for the national 
conference at which the Charter of Judicial Ethics will be adopted. 
The national conference is scheduled to take place on October 24. 
The ABA assisted the Hassania in the creation of a web site that 
includes information concerning the Hassania, its structure, 
statute, and regional offices.  The ABA also assisted the Hassania 
in the creation of an informational brochure and newsletter 
concerning the Hassania's activities that is intended to improve its 
image and internal communication.
