A/HRC/32/43/Add.1 Development, including a boarding school, where she met and held exchanges with school officials, teachers and volunteers. The school admits students from very remote areas with no educational facilities. In addition to free education, the students, who are of varying ages, also receive free accommodation and meals. The Independent Expert was able to interact with a few students who could speak English. She also visited a handicraft cooperative centre for pottery, ceramics, metalworking, jewellery and traditional textiles. 69. The office of the National Human Rights Council in Ad Dakhla informed the Independent Expert of its efforts to promote solidarity with marginalized migrants by facilitating their integration into the local economy, and by ensuring their access to health services, which were sometimes denied to them by service providers. It was reported that 200 migrants had been regularized in Ad Dakhla and were awaiting their residency cards. 70. The National Human Rights Council also stressed the need for capacity-building cooperation, especially in catering for persons with disabilities, who had often been the victims of landmines, as well the importance of having opportunities to develop partnerships with international development actors. 71. It was suggested that, beyond political considerations, adequate attention should be given to the realization of economic, social and cultural rights locally. A proposal was voiced that development partners might consider establishing a fund to support local development initiatives that were led by civil society. VI. Conclusion and recommendations 72. The Independent Expert commends the Government of Morocco for the progress it has made with regard to the progressive realization of economic, social and cultural rights, as well as its near achievement of the Millennium Development Goals by the end of 2015.

This information should be accessible beyond Internet-based platforms so as not to exclude those who do not have access to the Internet.
