Abstract: The targeting of public policies, particularly those related to the reform of the social protection system in Morocco, is a major challenge, especially in assessing the impact of these measures on multidimensional poverty. By developing two targeting methods to approach the impact of the reform of the social protection system in Morocco on multidimensional poverty as measured by the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), we show that the three simulated reforms on education and health, reduce the multidimensional poverty measures, regardless of the approach used, especially when the measures put in place are moderate.
