The "maroc.ma" portal was launched on Monday at the Moroccan Communication Ministry to provide Internet users quick, reliable and quality access to information on Morocco on the web.
The portal, which was launched by Prime Minister, Driss Jettou, is, according to the initiators, to mirror "an authentic and complete image of our country" and provide Internet users all data about Morocco.
Users can find through the portal political, economic, social and cultural data and information, 700 administrative procedures, most used by citizens and enterprises. The procedures are sorted out by themes, types and ministerial departments.
Another move to help young Moroccans and the populations living in remote areas access information through the web is the "Public Reading Network" (RPL), created by the Culture Ministry.
Culture Minister, Mohamed Achaari, told "Libération" daily the web site is meant to face the challenges of the Moroccan society in acquiring knowledge, adding the project on multimedia libraries using some sixty satellites offers for reading some 100,000 books and 15,000 media outlets.
The Moroccan-French project is training scores of Moroccan senior officers for running and managing the site, said Achaari adding a first multimedia library has already been created in the southern town of Ouerzazate and two others are scheduled in the coming days in a first stage of the project, notably in Larache, north, and Tiznit, south.
