Morocco’s Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, has signed four partnership agreements aimed at strengthening the use of the Amazigh language across public administration.

The agreements were signed during an official ceremony held at the Mohammed V Theater, as part of activities commemorating the Amazigh New Year 2976. Minister Delegate in charge of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, Amal El Falah Seghrouchini, signed the accords with the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, represented by its Energy Transition sector, the Ministry of Transport and Logistics, the Ministry of Investment, Convergence and Evaluation of Public Policies, and the National Commission for Integrity and the Prevention and Combating of Bribery.

The partnerships are designed to activate the official status of the Amazigh language within public institutions by improving reception and orientation services for citizens. They also provide for the integration of Amazigh into call centres, signage, notices, websites, and electronic and social media platforms used by public administrations.

The initiative reflects the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform’s role in leading structured efforts to embed the official use of the Amazigh language within public services. These efforts are positioned as a key driver of administrative modernisation and improved quality of communication between public institutions and service users.

The agreements align with Morocco’s Royal Directives and the objectives of the government programme, reinforcing the commitment to inclusive public service delivery, cultural recognition, and the use of digital tools to enhance accessibility and citizen engagement.
