Commitment Title
Promote open governance for sub-regional municipalities (communes) and other regions in Morocco.
Problem
Given the complementary aspect of responsibilities between regional and sub-regional territorial entities and in order to enable effective open governance at regional level, open government practices must be shared with sub-regional levels; Provinces and Communes.

Action
- Ensure awareness and capacity building of provinces and Communes (municipalities) of Beni-Mellal Khanifa region related to OGP and to Civic participation.
