Roads of hope

13-01-2011

 

Not so long ago, the mountains hemming in Tislit meant that the village’s inhabitants had almost no access to medical centres. Today, its population has access to services and their economic productivity can grow.  “During the winter this road is barely usable. Taxis refuse to come here. I come from the town of Azilal to teach in the village. Now, at least, the road has been modernised”, says Nadia, a teacher at Tislit’s primary school who travels to and from the village each day.
 
The Neighbourhood Investment Facility (NIF) is a financial mechanism that aims, amongst other things, to reduce disparities between rural and urban areas. The modernisation of the road leading to Tislit village is a good example of this happening in practice.

 

This is part of a series of features on projects funded by the EU’s Regional Programme, prepared by journalists and photographers on the ground or the ENPI Info Centre.
