In July 2026, the Moroccan Association for the Defense of Human Rights issued a report marking the 15th anniversary of the 2011 constitution. The organization identified a persistent gap between constitutional text and its actual implementation, citing violations regarding freedom of expression, press freedom, and the right to peaceful assembly. The association called for legislative reforms, enhanced judicial independence, and the conversion of social and cultural rights into measurable public policies.

By late August 2026, the focus on institutional reform expanded to include administrative structures. The Institution of the Ombudsman of the Kingdom of Morocco issued a memorandum calling for a broad public dialogue regarding administrative reform and the civil service. The Ombudsman emphasized that administrative organization directly impacts citizens' rights and called for clearer government leadership to ensure service continuity, decentralization, and the simplification of procedures.
