Abstract: People are today at the center of public policies in most countries. To this end, many programs have been developed to substantiate the role of this resource in the socio-economic areas of these countries. Indeed, the human element plays a fundamental role in the development of a country. Youth entrepreneurship, in particular, constitutes an important factor in integrating young people into the economic and social fabric. In Morocco, the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH) plays a leading role in encouraging youth entrepreneurship. This initiative, launched in 2005, aims to reduce social and economic disparities by encouraging young people to create their own businesses. This article aims to analyze the contribution of the NIHD, particularly in its third phase through Program III, to the promotion of youth entrepreneurship in Morocco by highlighting different actions implemented and their impacts. A qualitative method was adopted. This includes studying a sample of 256 projects presented by young entrepreneurs at the level of youth platforms in the prefecture of the Mohammadi district of Ain Sebaa in Casablanca, during the period (2019 - 2022). The results of the content analysis show that the NIHD has significantly contributed to promoting youth entrepreneurship, especially by creating financing mechanisms adapted to this sector and improving the living conditions of the poor population.
