Morocco ranked 113th out of 188 nations, down from 95th in 2023 in a global citizenship ranking, and its score also fell, from 51.8 points to 47.3, according to the 2024 World Citizenship Report, published by consultancy CS Global Partners.
Morocco’s passport may offer visa-free travel to many destinations, but the country’s overall standing in global citizenship has declined.
While Morocco excelled in “international mobility” (94th globally), other categories like “quality of life” (115th) and “personal safety” (107th) brought down the average.
The report considers five key areas for global citizens: safety, economic prospects, quality of life, mobility, and financial freedom.
Morocco ranked 11th within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, behind the United Arab Emirates (19th globally) and Qatar (45th).
According to the World Citizenship Report 2024, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the top country in the MENA region and ranks 19th globally.
Qatar follows closely behind at 45th, while Kuwait ranks 56th, Oman 62nd, Bahrain 68th, Saudi Arabia 73rd, Jordan 82nd, Mauritania 99th, Tunisia 100th, and Egypt 110th.
On the global scale, Ireland takes the top spot, followed by Switzerland, Denmark, Australia, Iceland, Germany, Norway, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Luxembourg, and Japan.
The WCI’s 2024 edition emphasizes the critical role of global citizen participation in elections.
With half of the world’s population eligible to vote in elections this year, citizens have the opportunity to exercise their rights not only for their own benefit but also for the betterment of the world as a whole.
These elections span globally, from Bangladesh and India in the east to the United Kingdom, European Union, and United States in the west.
