La question de la participation de la jeunesse au travail politique fait régulièrement surface dans le monde et dans le Sud, où la prépondérance démographique des jeunes rend leur implication dans la vie des instances particulièrement importante. Qu’implique donc, concrètement, au quotidien, l’exercice de la fonction d’élu local dans une mégapole du Sud comme Casablanca ?

C’est à ces questions qu’a répondu Oumaima El Idrissi, vice-présidente du conseil d’arrondissement d’Anfa.

May 21, 2019Throughout my last 15 years working in multilateral institutions, many times around the world I was asked to speak about the success of poverty reduction in Brazil during the new millennium. Last week, someone who was on such an occasion in October 2013 in Nairobi asked me what my numbers had become after these recent years of precarious macroeconomic performance and high unemployment in the country.
