Data Location
https://www.hcp.ma/Direction-de-la-statistiquea716.htmlComments
The High Commissioner for Planning (HCP) of the Kingdom of Morocco is responsible for the statistics. More precisely, the Statistics Directorate (Direction de la statistique https://www.hcp.ma/Direction-de-la-statistiquea716.html ) at the HCP.
The data is diverse but generally outdated and provided mostly as PDFs or Word documents although Excel sheets also exist. The Moroccan Open Data portal data.gov.ma also hosts several datasets from the HCP (https://www.data.gov.ma/data/fr/organization/haut-commissariat-au-plan). The data here is as Excel sheets yet is mostly outdated and not available for bulk download.
The question about licensing is tricky to answer: when it boils down to the HCP, the data and content it provides are property of the institution. The Open Data portal has an unclear status: each dataset here is individually licensed under the ODbL yet the website itself and all its content are copyrighted by the eGov unit (data.gov.ma has no indication whatsoever on its 'License' page: https://www.data.gov.ma/fr/licence). Thus, the copyright mention has priority and the data is considered non-open.
