This project aims to promote more effective and accountable local governance in Morocco by increasing citizen participation in local governance, enhancing local governments' performance, and encouraging increased accountability and transparency. Local Governance Program aims to enable elected women officials to act as full participants and responsible officials who contribute to the sound management of local affairs. To this end, the project carried out a participatory diagnostic on the status of the responsibilities of elected women and their participation in decision making in local management in two target regions. The study helped identify their specific needs, and develop an action plan to strengthen their capacities and leadership skills.
