Notably, Morocco was specifically mentioned during the thematic dialogue on "Public Participation as a Tool for Development," which took place during the 12th session of the expert team.
The report positions Morocco alongside countries like Kenya and Mexico as exemplary cases where national human rights institutions have undertaken a central role in mediation and coordination efforts. This engagement is instrumental in aligning public policies with the actual needs of civil society.
