The project “Support for the development of the role of the parliament in the consolidation of democracy in Morocco”, funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the Council of Europe, was officially launched Tuesday in Rabat.
Launched in the presence of speaker of the House of Representatives, Habib El Malki, president of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), Rik Daems, and EU Ambassador to Morocco, Claudia Wiedey, this project aims to support the two Houses of the Moroccan Parliament in their efforts to strengthen their roles, improve their performance and become more open to citizens.
It revolves around three main aspects which consist in backing the Moroccan Parliament’s effort to effectively conduct the monitoring and evaluation of the government’s public policies, and in supporting the Parliament’s openness towards citizens, civil society and other partners.
It also intends to effectively promote parliamentary democracy in Morocco, to support Morocco’s parliamentary diplomacy and to strengthen inter-parliamentary dialogue between the Moroccan Parliament and its counterparts in neighboring countries and Council of Europe member States.
This project is being implemented in accordance with the cooperation priorities and specific needs of Morocco, defined jointly by the Council of Europe and the Moroccan authorities as part of the 2018-2021 Neighborhood Partnership.
