Update

Over the past decade, Morocco has made progress in the areas of democratic reforms and respect for human rights. The 2011 Constitution, enacted in the midst of the democratic uprisings in Morocco and the region, enhanced the role of civil society and met some of its demands to strengthen participatory democracy and enshrine universally recognized human rights. This was clear in the preamble of the constitution, its general provisions and in the provisions on fundamental rights and freedoms.

The commitment of the Kingdom of Morocco to implement the HR UN mechanisms is combined with its desire to strengthen partnership and cooperation in the field of human rights at the international and regional level, in particular by strengthening South-South and triangular cooperation.

UNDP support the Government with ongoing reforms processes, in line with the New Development Model, notably to strengthen the coherence of public policies at the national and subnational levels and to improve the performance of the public administration. UNDP focus on supporting justice sector reform and implementing the national action plan for democracy and human rights. The emphasis will be to accelerate the shift towards people-centred justice and protection of human rights, particularly for women.
UNDP focus on integrating human rights approaches and indicators in regional development plans, strengthening capacities for institutional communication and supporting civil society advocacy.

To strengthen efficiency of institutions, and to maintain service delivery, UNDP Morocco’s Governance and Rule of Law programming focuses on:
1. Democratic Reforms and Human rights and Fundamental Freedoms
2. Social inclusion and Diverse community protection needs, including those of women, migrants and youth addressed;
3. More accessible justice: Services for vulnerable populations, such as the poor, PwD, women, juveniles and other vulnerable population groups;
4. Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, Gender-inclusive rule of law institutions with stronger women’s participation and leadership in the delivery of inclusive justice ser-vices to women and girls is enhanced; and
