Democracy and Governance
Overview | Program description | Activities

 Overview

Morocco has embarked on a path of reform that is leading towards a democratic and well-governed nation. USAID contributes to improved government responsiveness to citizens by working towards enhanced transparency and accountability, and the improved delivery of local government services, especially those that address the priorities of the poorest citizens living in sub-standard housing. The parliament, with USAID support for institutional development, is becoming a more legitimate, effective representational body better performing its consultative role in the Moroccan system of consensus-based governance under a constitutional monarchy.
