Abstract

Morocco is resolutely moving towards a model of modern socialism and a social state by strengthening its social policies and leveraging digitalization. This transition is marked by the integration of various digital tools that significantly enhance management practices within the social economy. The unified social register (USR) is a central element of this transformation. It improves the efficiency and equity of social programs by targeting aid to the neediest households, which allows for more precise allocation of resources and enhances the efficiency of public services. The use of digital technologies and the USR strengthens the transparency and accountability of public services. To continue on this part, it is important to overcome current obstacles and strengthen training and awareness programs to maximize the effectiveness and impact of social initiatives in Morocco.
