Morocco Strengthens Logistics Sector with AMDL Oversight Reform
Rabat – Morocco's Government Council has approved a decree updating the regulatory framework governing the Moroccan Agency for Logistics Development (AMDL), aligning the agency's oversight with the country's current ministerial structure.
The amendment, presented by Minister of Transport and Logistics Abdessamad Kayouh, was enacted through Decree No. 2.25.235. It revises Article 2 of Decree No. 2.12.175 dated May 30, 2012, which had previously placed the AMDL under the authority of the Minister of Equipment and Transport.
Under the updated regulation, the agency now falls under the supervision of the Ministry of Transport and Logistics. At a press briefing after the Council meeting, Government Spokesperson Mustapha Baitas said the adjustment places the AMDL under the appropriate administrative authority. He added that this change reflects the evolving institutional framework and priorities within the transport and logistics sector.
Established under Law 59.09, the AMDL plays a strategic role in executing Morocco's national logistics strategy and strengthening the country's position in global supply chains.
The regulatory update is expected to enhance coordination between the agency's mission and its administrative oversight, contributing to a more efficient and responsive logistics ecosystem.
This reform is part of Morocco's broader national strategy to modernize its infrastructure , improve economic performance, and position the kingdom as a key logistics hub on the African continent.
In the same session, the Government Council also approved draft decree No. 2.25.339, amending and supplementing Decree No. 2.99.649 of October 6, 1999, concerning the protection and compensation of certain categories of health ministry personnel exposed to professional risks.
The new decree, introduced by Minister of Health Amine Tehraoui, is part of the implementation of the High Royal Directives aimed at overhauling the national healthcare system and enhancing its attractiveness, particularly by valuing human resources within the sector.
The initiative aligns with the 2021–2026 government program, which emphasizes the development of national human capital. It also builds on the agreement signed on July 23, 2024, between the ministry of health and representative unions in the sector.
The updated provisions are designed to provide better protection and fair compensation for health professionals facing occupational hazards.
