Rabat Celebrates the Winners of the Civil Society Award in its Seventh Edition
On the evening of December 10, 2025, Rabat hosted the ceremony for the seventh edition of the Civil Society Award, an annual event honoring the achievements of civil players both within Morocco and abroad. The ceremony was presided over by the Minister Delegate to the Head of Government, responsible for relations with Parliament and the government spokesman, Mustapha Baitas, and attended by political, cultural, and media figures.
In his speech, Baitas highlighted the growing importance of civil action in the trajectory of national development, emphasizing that Morocco, under royal leadership, is witnessing a remarkable developmental dynamic that intertwines social and economic efforts. This necessitates the mobilization of various stakeholders, including the associative fabric, to enhance awareness, participation, and organization.
In this context, the minister provided an update on the implementation of the “Naseej” strategy for the period 2022-2026, explaining that its programs have achieved an implementation rate of over 85%, reflecting the seriousness of the work and ongoing coordination with civil actors.
