In his speech at the opening session of the seventh International Parliamentary Forum on Social Justice, organized under the High Patronage of HM King Mohammed VI around the theme “human capital: essential lever for social justice”, Talbi El Alami said that “the Kingdom has built its social model on solidarity, mutual aid and concern for the human being,” adding that this model is strengthened and that its implementation is accelerating and its aspects are multiplying for over two decades under the High royal solicitude continues in terms of development and realization. Moreover, he noted that the National Initiative for Human Development is focusing on its projects and mobilizing its potentials to combat vulnerability, facilitate schooling, especially for girls in rural areas, supervise initiatives of the solidarity and social economy generating income, ensure the supply of drinking water in the rural areas and build and manage institutions of social protection, rehabilitation and training.
