Current Action Plan
2021-2023
Action Plan 2
- Number of Commitments: 22
- Policy Area Focus: Not specified
Morocco’s highly inclusive co-creation process resulted in an action plan of modest ambition with a focus on strengthening transparency. Looking ahead, commitment implementers should collaborate with civil society to consider how milestones can build towards ambitious reforms that strengthen public accountability and civic participation in future action plans.
Morocco’s second OGP national action plan covers 22 commitments divided into five thematic groups: transparency and quality of public services; equality and inclusivity; open justice; citizen participation; and open local communities. Multiple commitments are carried forward from Morocco’s first action plan in the areas of access to information, transparency and quality of public services, budget transparency, integrity and anti-corruption, public funding of civil society, and citizen participation. The action plan introduces new policy areas such as gender equality, inclusion of children and people with disabilities, open justice, healthcare and education, public consultations, and open local communities. The action plan aligns with Morocco’s New Development Model (NDM) which emphasizes improving public services, gender equality, administrative reform, and justice in view of economic and societal development. This report uses the commitment numbers as provided in the English version of the action plan. (More)

OGP at Ten: Toward Democratic Renewal
When eight governments and nine civil society leaders launched OGP in 2011, no one expected it to reach its current size and scope. Over the last ten years, however, OGP has grown in ways that have exceeded expectations.
