Morocco’s new development model: Ambitions for 2035

In November 2019, Morocco’s King Mohammed VI established the Special Commission for the Development Model. The Commission, composed of a broad range of prominent stakeholders from government, private sector, academia, and civil society, was mandated to diagnose and review the achievements and inadequacies of Morocco’s current development trajectory.

Through a large consultative process and a co-construction approach, the Commission was required to suggest a new development model which puts the Moroccan citizen at its heart, while accounting for national and international contexts, and keeping in line with the kingdom’s constitution.

In April 2021, the Commission published a general report outlining key findings which include diagnoses, forecasts and projections up to 2035, strategic transformation axis, and the key levers of transformation to lead the change in the kingdom.

  • What are the achievements and shortcomings of Morocco’s current development path?
  • Which sectors are to be revamped or developed going forward?
  • What is the role of regional and international partners?
  • How is the model to be human-centred?
  • Which change levers will support the new development path?
  • What are the main obstacles to the success of the new model?

This webinar is organized by the Chatham House MENA Programme in collaboration with Morocco’s Special Commission for the Development Model. It will be livestreamed on the MENA Programme Facebook page.
