As part of the presentation of the government programme by the new executive leader, Fátima Zahra Mansouri, before both chambers of Parliament, Government spokesperson Samir Belfkih stated that the document is anchored in a political vision designed to meet the expectations of youth, rural populations, and various segments of society.
Under the motto “A Morocco for all and with equal opportunities”, the programme aims to ensure no citizen is left behind in development. To this end, it commits to reducing territorial inequalities and ensuring that those living far from major urban centres enjoy equal prospects for social progress, including education and training.
Belfkih underscored that the goal is to consolidate achievements, correct imbalances, and translate political priorities into tangible measures. The Government thus seeks to respond to social demands, reinforce support for the most vulnerable sectors, and accompany Morocco's major strategic projects, placing the citizen at the centre of public action.
El Mansouri pledges to drive reforms
The new Moroccan Government, led by Fátima Zahra El Mansouri, has pledged to combat illicit enrichment, penalise conflicts of interest, and strengthen mandatory asset declarations, pursuant to Article 36 of the Constitution.
During the presentation of the government programme, El Mansouri promised to penalise the disclosure of information intended to secure privileges, stressing that these measures seek to reinforce integrity, transparency, and good governance, as well as cement the principle that responsibility must go hand in hand with accountability.
In the social sphere, the new government places healthcare, education, housing, and employment among its top priorities. Regarding public health, it plans to reduce territorial inequalities in medical care, improve emergency services, roll out universal emergency medical assistance, and establish a unified national health information system.
The programme also aspires to complete the institutional reform of the healthcare sector, bolster its human resources, and improve patient care. Consequently, the Government intends to advance towards universal healthcare coverage ensuring effective, equitable, and continuous access to quality services for the entire population.
The challenges of education and the Amazigh language
Moroccan Prime Minister Fátima Zahra El Mansouri placed the improvement of education, higher education, scientific research, and vocational training among the new Government's fundamental priorities. As she noted, the objective goes beyond widening access to schooling and seeks to comprehensively transform the educational system.
The strategy aims to train a qualified, innovative, and capable generation able to adapt to rapid national transformations and fluctuations in the global economy.
Among its main targets, the government proposes that by 2031, at least 80% of students will master basic learning and core competencies. To this end, it plans to expand the model of centres of excellence, establish a national reference framework, and reinforce regular evaluations.
The Government also aspires to bring the school dropout rate down to zero by 2030 through early detection of at-risk students and personalised tracking of their progress. Those leaving the classroom must be provided with suitable alternatives, whether through reintegration into the education system or access to vocational training.
In parallel, the Moroccan Executive will allocate 2 billion dirhams to a special fund to drive the officialisation of the Amazigh language. Furthermore, it will create a permanent ministerial committee to oversee its integration into education, administration, justice, and the media.
In this regard, the head of government stated she will publish an annual report featuring monitoring indicators to assess progress and strengthen the presence of Amazigh within institutions and public services.
Social state and youth opportunities
The new Moroccan Government plans to drive a structural reform of markets to combat monopolies, curb abusive intermediation, and contain prices during the 2026–2031 period. The initiative seeks to protect purchasing power and improve families' living conditions.
The programme contemplates reinforcing oversight of public contracts to guarantee greater transparency. The Executive likewise intends to reserve 30% of the value of public contracts for small and medium-sized Moroccan enterprises, with the aim of stimulating domestic production and expanding business opportunities.
To moderate food prices, the Government is committed to intervening across the various phases of the supply, distribution, and commercialisation chain. Planned measures include securing supplies of strategic products, bringing producers and consumers closer via regional platforms, and cutting out intermediaries.
In the social sphere, El Mansouri announced an automatic compensation of up to 100 dirhams per month to cover electricity bills for eligible families' primary residences. The measure aims to reduce household expenses and simplify access to welfare without requiring paper applications or visits to administrative offices.
On the other hand, the Government plans to progressively reform income tax to increase workers' net earnings and encourage formal employment. These initiatives form part of a strategy designed to alleviate economic pressure on households and boost their purchasing power.
Pension reform and a minimum of 3,000 dirhams
The Prime Minister announced that the Government will drive a comprehensive reform of retirement systems, in consultation with social and economic stakeholders. The initiative will go beyond modifying retirement age, contributions, or contribution calculations.
The reform seeks to establish a unified and sustainable system that extends protection to those currently lacking a pension, harmonises rights and obligations across different schemes, and preserves acquired rights.
Among its main measures, the Executive plans to progressively raise the basic minimum pension up to 3,000 dirhams per month across several systems, with the goal of improving retirees' incomes and helping them cope with the cost of living.
Likewise, El Mansouri announced that widows will be able to receive a pension equivalent to 100% of the deceased spouse's benefit, compared to the 50% initially contemplated in the programme, whilst respecting the rights of orphans and other beneficiaries.
Family code reform and protection of rights
The new Executive places the protection of national identity, social solidarity, and family strengthening among its priorities. Within this framework, it plans to continue reforming the Family Code in accordance with royal guidelines and develop specific policies for children, youth, and the elderly.
The programme also seeks to reinforce the protection of women, minors, and persons with disabilities, as well as promote equal rights and opportunities. The Executive aims to increase female participation in decision-making positions and foster women's economic autonomy through employment and entrepreneurship.
Planned measures include the fight against gender-based violence, the improvement of protection mechanisms, and access to education, healthcare, and social protection, particularly for women in rural areas and the most vulnerable groups.
Finally, the Government commits to reinforcing the protection of personal data amid advancing digitalisation, simplifying administrative procedures for associations, and guaranteeing access to information. These initiatives seek to strengthen the rule of law, public freedoms, and civil society's participation in public affairs.
