Morocco’s National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water is deploying new digital solutions dedicated to investment programming and monitoring, marking a key modernization step in governance and management processes as part of the water branch’s digital transformation roadmap.
The office emphasized digitalization acceleration necessity for modernizing operations and improving management, developing a digital roadmap accompanied by structuring initiative portfolio. Objectives involve strengthening strategic and operational capacities, aligning them with royal vision for water and sanitation sectors, and honoring commitments made within state-signed program contracts, particularly regarding operational and financial performance.
Priority projects include investment programming and monitoring, aimed at optimizing planning, budgeting, and investment project piloting. The future digital solution will modernize programming and monitoring processes, improve budgetary control, reinforce transparency and accountability, while facilitating optimal financial resource allocation and decision-making.
The new information system must integrate major ongoing institutional and sectoral transformations, notably accounting for regional multi-service company creation and startup, new water sector planning stakes, growing unconventional resource usage particularly seawater desalination, and experience feedback in liquid sanitation and distribution sectors. Increased public and private actor intervention in drinking water production will also integrate within study scope.
The mission covers three complementary dimensions. Business aspects concern multi-year investment programming, budget preparation and monitoring, financial commitment piloting, multi-level reporting, and investment scenario simulation and analysis. Organizational dimensions target procedure harmonization and digitalization, role and responsibility clarification, and reinforced collaboration between central directions and regional entities.
The technological axis addresses target solution definition, integration with existing information systems, data governance, interoperability, and flow securitization. This transformation inscribes itself within new institutional framework defined by law 83-21 regarding regional multi-service companies, with office missions now encompassing national drinking water supply planning, production-related investment programming and realization, produced water quality control, and technical and regulatory assistance to public organisms and water sector actors.
