The 2023 Draft Finance Bill revealed the government’s allocation of 300 million dirhams to operationalize the official character of the Amazigh language, with the prospect of reaching 1 billion dirhams in 2026.
According to the submission note of this project, this is part of the government’s continuing efforts to formalize and integrate Amazigh in various aspects of public life, through the Action Programme 2023-2026 aimed at integrating Amazigh into the justice system, public administration, and facilities, the fields of education and vocational training, audiovisual communication, culture, and art.
The Government had announced the provision of 300 assistants entrusted with receiving and mentoring only Amazigh-speaking people, at the disposal of both the Ministry of Health and Social Protection and the Ministry of Justice.
