Rights & Democracy has contributed to the opening of democratic spaces in Morocco. by publishing a democratic development study on Morocco in close partnership with Moroccan civil society organizations. The study was launched during a national forum that took place in Rabat in November 2004. In 2005-2006, follow up to this study took place, with the holding of four regional civil society forums in the north, south, centre, and west of the country, bringing together hundreds of civil society actors to discuss the specific challenges in their regions and their communities and identifying the support they need to build democracy effectively.
