Morocco has pledged to implement the principles of open government, a commitment strengthened by the Constitution of 2011. In addition, Morocco has recognised the importance of subnational governments in forging a closer relationship between government and citizens. These subnational authorities are at the forefront of a number of open government practices. The process of advanced regionalisation (regionalisation avancée), which is strengthening the powers of the municipalities and regions, is leading to local public policies that are more open, transparent and effective. In this context, the mayor and the municipal council of Salé have undertaken and supported a number of initiatives to promote transparency, stakeholder participation and accountability, with the objective of bringing the municipality closer to its citizens and involving them in the development of the city. The initiatives are based on a bottom-up approach developed at district level and on strong engagement by local civil society. These efforts could be reinforced by fully implementing all provisions of the regionalisation process and the 2011 Constitution.
