Public governance frameworks for Open Government in Morocco

This chapter clarifies the key functions of the Centre of Government and its role in leading major reforms across the whole administration and different authorities towards the promotion of Open Government. An assessment of the CoG in Morocco is carried out through an overview of Morocco’s legal, policy and institutional frameworks for Open Government in light of, among other things, the recent constitutional reform and legislative developments that have followed the Arab Spring. Based on the experience of OECD countries, recommendations are set forth to establish a sound policy framework and to tackle effectively the different challenges faced by Morocco’s public governance structure for Open Government.
