Programs appear to be well targeted to the rural poor but not to the urban poor. Substantial benefits accrue to the urban non-poor, while benefits largely bypass the urban poor. The analysis also uncovers evidence of impressive progress in primary and secondary school enrolments for the poor as well as for poor girls since 1994. However, here too, the gains are concentrated on the rural poor. 2012-06-25T14:15:19Z 2012-06-25T14:15:19Z 2005-01 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2005/01/5589017/services-transfers-reach-moroccos-poor-evidence-poverty-spending-maps http://hdl.handle.net/10986/8904 English Policy Research Working Paper No. 3478 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Middle East and North Africa Morocco
