Lesson Learned

Construction: The Project demonstrated that Morocco’s National Fisheries Office (ONP) can build facilities at a faster pace that it has historically.

Construction: The Project demonstrated that Morocco’s National Fisheries Office (ONP) can build facilities at a faster pace that it has historically. During the 5-year term of the Compact, ONP constructed five (5) wholesale fish markets, four of which are operational. In the prior decade it had constructed two. The Project also resulted in the addition of eleven (11) improved landing sites, nine (9) of which are operational, to a network that is eventually to cover 60 locations. ONP supervised the construction of 25 prior to the Compact. Moroccan firms were able to compete successfully for contracts based on a FIDIC 2 template. Installing regional supervisors with the requisite engineering and construction management skills helped ONP oversee these works and accelerated the pace of implementation. Construction activities also benefitted from substantial oversight from MCC staff and the MCC Independent Engineer.
