Amal Al-Fallahi: The government has made 76% progress in implementing the National Anti-Corruption Strategy
Amal Al-Fallahi, the Minister Delegate to the Head of Government in charge of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, announced that the completion rate of projects under the National Anti-Corruption Strategy 2016-2025 has reached approximately 76%. This includes the activation of the National Complaints Portal, which has seen participation from 1,744 public administrations. She affirmed the government’s commitment to continuing its efforts to combat corruption.
The government official clarified that several sectors have maintained the implementation of projects outlined in this strategy, recognizing their vital role in achieving economic development and social advancement. She noted Morocco’s international commitments under United Nations, Arab, and African agreements to combat corruption, which entail responsibilities that must be fulfilled.
Al-Fallahi added that her ministry, acting as the permanent secretariat of the National Anti-Corruption Committee, has monitored the progress of various projects, including the preparation of the composite report for the period 2019-2024, launching programs to improve customer service in administrations, and increasing the number of digital administrative services to over 600. Enhanced mechanisms for receiving complaints and the establishment of a hotline for reporting bribery have also been initiated.
The minister highlighted other achievements, including reducing human intervention in public contracts, adopting a judicial code of ethics, implementing a system to evaluate companies holding social responsibility certifications in contracts, as well as enacting significant laws such as the Charter for Public Utilities, simplifying administrative procedures through the “Idarati” portal, the Right to Access Information Law, and the National Integrity Authority Law.
She also revealed that several draft laws are currently under approval, including a project to prevent conflicts of interest, a mandatory asset declaration project, a project to protect whistleblowers, and a general code of values and ethics for public employees. Additionally, Morocco has joined the OECD’s Integrity Indicators, allowing for performance comparisons with other countries and the identification of best practices.
