The proposed operation is firmly anchored in an ambitious cross-cutting government reform program to improve public sector performance and consists of a set of actions embedded into two legislative frameworks and two national strategies:

(i) the Draft National Statistical Act; and

(ii) the Organic Budget Law (LOLF); as well as

(iii) the Morocco Digital Strategy 2020; and

(iv) the National Plan for Administrative Reform (2018-2021).

It should be noted that further discussions with government authorities are expected to take place during project identification and preparation phases to determine the choice of financing instrument.
