The Constitution of 2011 in Morocco promoted major changes at the legislative level. For the first time the concept of participatory democracy was cited, in order to involve the population in the pubic efforts at national, regional and local levels.
This study makes an analysis of the constitutional and legal dispositions relating to participatory democracy and explains the role that can have organizations of civil society to participate more effectively in the daily life of local governance. It also makes recommendations on legislation and the creation of local participatory mechanisms to strengthen democracy in Morocco.
This publication is part of the governance project CONSOLIDAR, supported by AECID within the moroccan organisation FMAS.
