Abstract: Morocco increasingly emphasizes improving living conditions and human well-being by implementing numerous social programs covering key areas such as education, health, and employment. However, the impact of these programs remains largely unknown. This is why the Moroccan government has prioritized the evaluation of public policies, aligning with the international trend to integrate evaluation as an essential component of any public intervention process. This article examines the evolution of impact evaluation practice in Morocco from 1999 to 2021. We consulted various databases and websites to identify impact evaluations conducted in Morocco. Our research identified 40 impact assessment studies using experimental and quasi-experimental methods. We have observed a remarkable evolution over the years. However, the growth in the number of publications in this field has not yet taken on a regular rhythm. Moreover, the trend is not uniform across different sectors, with impact assessments predominating in the health and social protection sectors. We also note a prevalence of quasi-experimental approaches in conducting these evaluations. Finally, it should be noted that more than half of these studies are carried out by foreign researchers.
