Abstract

Morocco, the fifth-largest economy in Africa, similar to its neighbor-ing developing countries, its rural development is still a work in progress. However, during the last decade, the country has successfully reduced rural poverty and many other aspects relating to the physical and social infrastructures in these remote areas mainly by focusing on fostering agricultural development. The paper provided an overview of rural development and its potential sustainability in Morocco, relying on the journal articles, as well as the available data and censuses provided by the government. The results were organized into the four main pillars of sustainability to explore and examine the challenges facing rural population and development from the sustainability aspect. The review concluded that in the last decades, the government has successfully elevated and stimulated rural development. However, many challenges still face sustainability, mainly the high illiteracy rate which makes it harder to implement sustainable practices, and the infrastructure that is not yet sufficient to foster this transition.
