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.
