Monitoring and Evaluation Adviser - Tackling Economic, Social and Security Challenges (TESS), Morocco

Monitoring and Evaluation Adviser

Tackling Economic, Social and Security challenges in Northern Morocco through support for Morocco's regionalisation programme (TESS)

Programme Summary:

The FCO-funded Tackling economic, social and security challenges in Northern Morocco through support for Morocco's regionalisation programme (TESS) is providing support to sustainable stability, security and prosperity in Morocco though an integrated approach. Working in this economically and politically marginalised region the Programme aims to produce a platform of stability and inclusivity conducive to harnessing the potential arising from investment and decentralisation occurring in line with Morocco’s development plan. Focussing on the 3 pillars of the Programme, greater integration of isolated Northern communities will strengthen political engagement and accountability at the regional and national level, link present economic opportunities with communities that have felt deprived of such opportunities, and counter radicalisation narratives which play on an apparent vacuum of opportunity.
