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)

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.
Malick Lingani tells us how organizations and international partners are helping French-speaking OGP members strengthen their open government efforts and other countries in the region get closer to joining OGP.
Malick Lingani nos cuenta cómo organizaciones y socios internacionales están ayudando a los miembros francófonos de OGP a fortalecer sus esfuerzos de gobierno abierto y a otros países en la región a unirse a OGP.
The following data is updated periodically, most often after large numbers of new action plans and IRM reports.
Commitment Performance
The following variables answer the question “Did this commitment open government?“, and focus on how government practices have changed as a result of the commitment’s implementation.
Starred commitments in OGP are one of the ways the IRM designates promising reforms. The graph below shows where the major areas for improvement in action plan design and implementation should take place based on past action plans.

Selected Dimensions of Open Government
This section captures how each OGP member can play a leadership role, based on IRM-based findings and third-party scores. This list does not cover all of open government and OGP members are not required to take any action.
Action implications
These are recommendations on the role that each OGP member might play in each policy area. The recommendations are derived from a combination of the IRM-based findings and third-party scores.
IRM-based findings
Reflect the performance of commitments in a particular policy area, as assessed by the IRM.
(NC) No Commitments (CA) Commitment(s) in the policy area. (IR) IRM-Reviewed: At least one IRM-assessed commitment. (C) Was Complete: At least one commitment was substantially or fully completed. (A) Was Ambitious: At least one commitment with moderate or transformative potential impact. (ER) Showed Early Results: At least one commitment opened government in a “Major” or “Outstanding” way.
Third-party scores
Reflect “real-world” performance, i.e., performance outside of the OGP framework. Scores are comprised of various indicators collected by respected organizations.
As leaders, these members may consider playing a peer-support role by sharing their experiences and innovations with others in OGP, if they are not already doing so.
These are members making OGP commitments to improve their performance in the respective policy area. As members that have demonstrated political commitment through OGP, the next step is ensuring that implemented commitments have maximal impact.
These members have room for improvement in the respective policy area according to the third-party score and have not leveraged their OGP action plans to address the issue. They may consider reforms in the respective policy area, either within or outside of the OGP framework.
These members have not made ambitious OGP commitments or commitments that have shown early results. However, these members have recently made commitment(s) in the respective policy area that have not yet been assessed by the IRM. The OGP community will monitor these commitments and soon report on the progress achieved.
There is not enough third-party data available to identify an action implication.

Throughout the years, Open Gov Week has shown that the open government community is stronger when it works together to build stronger societies and more resilient democracies. This year was no exception. Here are few highlights from this year’s Open Gov Week.
Now is the time for governments to invest in reforms that can accelerate and improve how they deliver quality education, healthcare, water and sanitation, and supportive infrastructure.
