The primary focus of this meeting is to discuss the topic of "Advanced Regionalization for a Governance Framework Based on Transparency and Policy Coordination, Aiming for Social and Economic Integration for a Unified Morocco." This discussion comes amidst ongoing national dialogues about enhancing spatial justice and expediting the implementation of advanced regionalization initiatives across the country.
This event aims to deepen the dialogue surrounding the challenges of territorial governance and the mechanisms to strengthen policy coordination at the regional level, thereby contributing to achieving integrated and balanced development that aligns with citizen expectations and fosters trust in institutions.
