The conversation begins with a pitch session inviting participants to rethink EU–Africa cooperation through bold, people-centered ideas. From exchange and mobility to peace and mutual understanding, the focus is on what can move both continents forward together.

Participants are arriving in Rabat for the RenewPac Summit and the International Forum of Liberal Youth, opening three days of dialogue, exchange, and liberal partnership-building in a changing global context. @FNF_Africa

Now at the Green Energy Park of @UM6P_officiel , where the forum continues through a scientific visit exploring how research, innovation and experimentation are helping shape concrete energy solutions for the future.

Today’s discussions highlight how geopolitics, market volatility and sustainability imperatives are reshaping the future of global energy systems.

We are kicking off the 3rd edition of the Green Energy Forum in Marrakech, in collaboration with CI2RC, around a key theme: the future of energy, innovation, investment and energy security in a changing world.

The inaugural panel explores a central question: how can we advance the energy transition while addressing energy security concerns in an increasingly unstable global context?

The opening session sets the tone for two days of dialogue on how energy systems are evolving in response to global transitions and new strategic challenges.

As 2026 approaches, one question stands out: how can we improve youth participation and make elections feel more open, credible, and inclusive?

Today’s discussion focuses on a key issue ahead of the 2026 elections: how to rethink elite renewal while creating better conditions for youth participation in political life.

Subsidies, political access, and concrete support mechanisms for youth engagement are among the important issues raised during today’s exchange.

Electoral reform is also part of the debate, especially how legal frameworks can better support youth inclusion and encourage more meaningful participation.

The conversation in collaboration with the jeunesse harakie youth highlights both obstacles and opportunities when it comes to engaging young people in elections, from trust and representation to the broader electoral climate.

Important discussions today on how governance reforms can help build public institutions that are more transparent, responsive, and citizen-centered.

Today we are working with the Mediator of the Kingdom and DAMIR on reflections around the evolving model of public service and the transformation of public administration in Morocco.

Modern public administration is not only about efficiency. It is about fairness, accountability, and ensuring that citizens truly benefit from public services.

Improving public services today means strengthening transparency, access to information, and the quality of the relationship between citizens and institutions.

Public administration is gradually shifting from a system centered on procedures to one focused on service, transparency, and citizens’ needs.

A timely conversation on transparency, evaluation, and democratic legitimacy and on why budget execution should be more than a technical formality.

Today, we are hosting a debate on a key public finance question in Morocco: Is the budget review law merely an accounting closure, or can it become a real tool for evaluating public policies?

Public spending is not only about what was allocated. It is also about what was actually delivered.

This discussion brings together reflections on public finance, democratic oversight, and the role of Parliament in turning budget execution into a meaningful exercise in accountability.
