The Ministry of Digital Transition as key partner of the various public institutions

The goal is to harmonize the various initiatives and the development of projects that have a direct impact on the citizen and business. “This meeting is an opportunity to consolidate the site of the digital transition for the reform of the administration, which is an initiative aimed primarily at placing the user (citizen or business) at the heart of the digital transformation, “said Mezzour in his opening remarks.

The Minister added that thanks to the cross-sectional position of his department, “we are able to identify best practices that have already proven their worth, and thus, to guide and harmonize the actions of administrations, as part of their digitization processes. That’s why we wanted to organize this meeting, in order to refine an integrated and unified strategic vision, according to a participatory approach that involves all stakeholders.”

The Ministry of Digital Transition is therefore positioning itself as a key partner of the various public institutions, which are offered tailored and operational support in the various stages of the digitization of their services. This is notably the case for the Ministry of Justice, which is working closely with the Digital Transition Ministry to provide users with quality digital services. Currently, many actions aimed at implementing law 55.19, relating to the simplification of administrative procedures and formalities, have also been carried out by the Ministry.

In total, 3,832 procedures within the competence of the administrations have been examined, of which 2,700 are published on the “Idarati.ma” website and 800 have been withdrawn because they have no legal basis. In addition, the digitization of administrative services is based on the continuous training of civil servants.

In this context, the Ministry of Digital Transition has launched a program to strengthen the skills of civil servants in digitalization, which targets 10,000 people at the central and local levels. In parallel, the Digital Development Agency (ADD), under the supervision of the same ministry, is committed to the digital transformation of the administration, through its “Smart Government” component.
