"20% of associations monopolize 80% of public funding meant for associations action, while 97% of the said associations do not submit their financial reports which hampers the supervision of public subsidies granted to them," said the minister at a meeting of the parliamentary committee on public finances control.
At the end of October 2014, over 683 associations benefited from subsidies as part of ministerial budgets, against 646 in 2013, including social associations and institutions, said Boussaid, noting that this number is distributed among 578 social associations, 46 economic ones and 59 administrative ones.
The amount of subsidies granted until end October 2014 reached 1.44 billion dirhams, including 1.12 billion dirhams for social activities, 181 million dirhams for the economic field and 143.98 million dirhams for the administrative field, he added, noting that this figure stood at 1.33 billion dirhams in 2013.
Regarding the social solidarity fund, 700 million dirhams was allocated in 2014 to the Moroccan Association for Education to finance the "Tayssir" program and the 1 million schoolbag operation, he said.
