Abstract

In a global context marked by the transition to a knowledge-based economy, the development of human capital and the integration of economic intelligence (EI) have emerged as two strategic levers for developing countries. This article explores how EI can be leveraged within Moroccan public policies to enhance the effectiveness of training systems, innovation processes, and information governance. The study adopts a qualitative and comparative approach, based on an analytical framework inspired by benchmarking. The selected sample includes four African countries, Morocco, Rwanda, Ghana, and Uganda, chosen for their progress in strategic governance, education, and innovation. The aim is to compare Morocco's situation with these countries in order to identify best practices and integrated models that could inform and enrich national policies. The findings reveal that, despite significant initiatives undertaken by Morocco, challenges remain, particularly in coordinating educational policies, strategic intelligence systems, and economic needs. In contrast, the countries studied exhibit more coherent and integrated approaches. The article thus proposes concrete recommendations, inspired by these African experiences, to strengthen the impact of human capital development policies through more effective use of economic intelligence.
