Abstract
Morocco as many developing countries suffer consequences of the globalization. He knew social deficits and transfers which affected several business sectors what makes them fragile. Conscious in these stakes, the Moroccan public authorities undertook measures to strengthen and upgrade sectors having suffered the repercussions of the competition and to mobilize the social action to fight against the precariousness and the poverty. Among these measures, the implementation of the network of the voluntary sector which was rest supported by the National Initiative of the Human Development, launched by His Majesty the King Mohammed VI on May 18th, 2005. The cooperative constitutes the vertebral column of the voluntary and united sector. It has for objective to support her members and to improve their socioeconomic situation. The object of this article is to determine the role of cooperatives in the sustainable development. We tried at first to approach the characteristics of cooperatives then we showed that cooperatives integrate into their management of the multiple objectives of economic, social and ecological order. Finally, we highlighted the current situation of the Moroccan cooperatives and their performances.

Abstract: (french)
Le Maroc comme beaucoup de pays en développement souffrent des conséquences de la mondialisation. Il connaissait des déficits sociaux et des mutations qui affectaient plusieurs secteurs d’activités ce qui les rend fragiles. Conscient à ces enjeux les pouvoirs publics marocains ont entrepris des mesures afin de renforcer et mettre à niveau les secteurs ayant souffert des répercussions de la concurrence et de mobiliser l’action sociale pour lutter contre la précarité et la pauvreté. Parmi ces mesures, la mise en place du réseau de l’économie sociale qui a été appuyée par l’Initiative Nationale du Développement Humain, lancée par Sa Majesté le Roi Mohammed VI le 18 Mai 2005. La coopérative constitue la colonne vertébrale de l’économie sociale et solidaire. Elle a pour objectif de soutenir ses adhérents et d’améliorer leur situation socio-économique. L’objet de cet article est de déterminer le rôle des coopératives dans le développement durable. Nous avons tenté dans un premier temps d’aborder les caractéristiques des coopératives ensuite nous avons montré que les coopératives intègrent dans leur gestion des objectifs multiples d’ordre économique, social et écologique. Enfin, nous avons mis l’accent sur l’état des lieux des coopératives marocaines et leurs performances.
