perspective be mainstreamed in all development programmes and policies across
sectors. Moreover, she would like to stress that a human-rights-based approach to
development requires that planning and implementation of development measures
should be deliberate, targeted and progressive in order to create an enabling
environment for the exercise and fulfilment of human rights;
(c)
Strengthen the overall policy of national development, from its planning
and design, to implementation and delivery, to monitoring, assessment and evaluation,
to policy coherence and harmonization across all the various ministries, including
those which are engaged in international development cooperation. It is strongly
suggested that a single office be dedicated to an oversight function in this regard, to
optimize resources and avoid duplication;
(d)
Implement more systematic and thorough consultation for the planning,
implementation, monitoring and evaluation of development programmes, including
development assistance programmes, with the meaningful participation of civil society
and affected communities;
(e)
Allocate additional resources for capacity-building on all levels of
development implementation, especially in the light of the imminent decentralization
process. In this regard, it is further suggested that the Inter-ministerial Delegation on
Human Rights, in coordination with the National Human Rights Council and
partners, intensify human rights training programmes, especially for civil servants
involved in the delivery of public services. This would enhance transparency and
would be a positive step towards deterring favouritism and corruption in public
service;
(f)
Work jointly with civil society actors, including human rights
organizations and development partners, to establish a framework for the monitoring
of foreign funds received by civil society actors. This protocol should be based on
impartiality and objectivity, accountability, transparency and fairness, and should be
in full respect of the freedom of association. Provisions in this regard should be
considered for inclusion in the draft bill on civil society, in accordance with the
international human rights standards referred to in the report of the Special
Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association
(A/HRC/23/39);
(g)
Establish a tripartite framework, consisting of Government,
development partners and civil society, to monitor the implementation and outcome of
development assistance programmes;
(h)
Consider ratifying the Optional Protocols to the International Covenant
on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights. The Independent Expert encourages the Government to redouble its
efforts to submit its reports in a timely manner to the relevant human rights treaty
bodies.

The Independent Expert also makes the following recommendations for the
consideration of the international development partners of Morocco:
(a)
Consult all stakeholders affected by development assistance
programmes, and fully integrate human-rights-based approaches in all stages
throughout the entire process, from planning, to implementation, to monitoring and
evaluation;
(b)
Ensure equal opportunity in accessing development assistance funds for
civil society actors, in particular for grass-roots organizations in the rural and remote
areas that are often left out because they lack access to information. Consideration
