Fiscal Transparency

Tax governance was considered a key entry point for implementing structural reforms to establish a “development model” rooted in equity, social justice, and respect for human dignity. Within this framework, the state was expected to act as a key actor, ensuring that public policies were sustainably financed without hindering the economic and societal momentum essential for growth and sustainable development.

Project Presentation:

This project formed the second phase of a partnership with the Oxfam Foundation in Morocco. The first phase (2016–2018) focused on diagnosing corruption risks in tax management.

Consequently, the second phase (2019–2020) was dedicated to advocacy efforts targeting institutions involved in Morocco’s tax and budgetary processes.

Objectives of the Project:

To promote tax transparency in Morocco;
