The office of the House of Advisors (upper house) on Monday approved a roadmap to join the Open Government Partnership (OGP), a global multilateral initiative based on the promotion of transparency, the empowerment of citizens, the fight against corruption and the use of new technologies to strengthen governance.
The members of the office approved, as part of a joint parliamentary initiative with the House of Representatives, a roadmap to join the OGP, the upper house said in a release.
The agenda for the oral questioning session, scheduled for Tuesday, was also approved, said the office at the end of its meeting held remotely under the presidency of Hakim Benchamach, Speaker of the upper house.
In terms of institutional partnerships, the office of the House of Advisors announced that it had decided to hold a meeting on Wednesday with the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE), which will be dedicated to the presentation of the results of the study carried out by the CESE on “the middle class in Morocco”.
The office was also informed of the intense program of the standing committees and thematic working groups during the current week, the statement concluded.
In 2011, government leaders and civil society advocates came together to create a unique partnership—one that combines these powerful forces to promote transparent, participatory, inclusive and accountable governance.
Seventy-eight countries and 76 local governments—representing more than two billion people—along with thousands of civil society organizations are members of the Open Government Partnership (OGP).
