Morocco’s government council adopted a decree on Thursday raising direct social aid from 500 to 600 dirhams per month from 1 January 2027. The measure is part of a reform of aid targeting, now linked to household incomes, according to La Vie éco.

Morocco’s government council adopted a draft decree on Thursday raising direct social aid from 500 to 600 dirhams from 1 January 2027, reports La Vie éco.

The increase comes after Morocco announced in October a larger rise in direct social aid, to as much as 1,000 dirhams. The government also said at the end of October that it wanted to link the aid to household incomes. The announced increase in direct social aid and the plan to target aid according to household incomes preceded the adoption of the decree presented on Thursday.
