I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

CSSP is a 4-year program (2015-2019) in Morocco implemented by Counterpart International in partnership with its main sub-partner, International Center for Non-Profit Law (ICNL). It aims to strengthen civil society’s infrastructure and individual organizational capacity, with the goal of supporting CSOs and coalitions that engage in advocacy initiatives. The program encourages greater engagement between CSOs and government institutions. To increase CSO contributions in public policy, CSSP provides technical assistance in policy advocacy, legal framework development, government-CSO dialogue, as well as tailored capacity-building to both local government and CSOs (local grantees, coalitions and USAID-funded ISOs) in target regions. CSSP has been active with 22 NGOs and 5 commune partners in five different regions and in the region of Marrakech-Safi. During the last 15 months, CSSP has assisted 5 ISOs, 4 Coalitions and 10 CSOs. During the last quarter, CSSP established partnerships with the Nibras and CIDEAL associations and concluded a second agreement with the Association Jeunes sans Frontières (AJSF). CSSP’s civil society partners have more than 500 combined staff with a 40% female and 60% male member ratio. During this quarter, CSSP and its partners undertook 6 evaluations and 54 events, which included 12 multi-stakeholder meetings, 22 technical assistances workshops for public entities and CSOs, and 17 CSO initiatives at the local and regional level citizens in the public policy process, attended by 1186 participants, with a female participant ratio of 34%. CSSP organized 19 trainings reaching 458 participants, also with a 35% women participation ratio and 26% participants between the age of 18 and 30 years old.

The diversity of components supported by CSSP touched a wide range of fields such as: (i) decentralization/local government strengthening with the efforts of Carrefour Associatif at the Regions of Souss-Massa, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra and l'Oriental; (ii) environmental issues with 11 events organized by la Coalition Civile de la Montagne in three different regions; and (iii) the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the dynamic created by Handicarrefour in Marrakech- Safi region. Other themes included volunteer development and youth empowerment. Separately, Handicarrefour, a coalition granted by CSSP addressed a request to the Regional Council of Marrakech Safi for including a ratio of person with disabilities within the consultative body EPEOGA which is being taken into consideration. CSSP also helped three potential coalition partners finalize their technical propositions to join the program and assisted the second round of grantees in developing their advocacy action and M&E plans of their advocacy projects. ICNL developed an action plan with the five Intermediate Service Organizations (ISOs) and finalized a workplan with the Regional Council of Tangier-Tetouan- Al Hoceima (Regional Council) which has the overall objective of implementing the right to petition at the regional level. ICNL also conducted a number of coordination meetings to prepare for potential workplans with the Ministry in Charge of Relations with the Parliament and Civil Society (MCRPCS) and the Provincial Council of La Rache (Provincial Council). Despite continued post-election political deadlock and the month of Ramandan, this quarter saw a substantial increase in project visibility through media. Moroccan specialized media leaders such as MAP, SNRT, Hespress, Aujourd’hui le Maroc, Femmes du Maroc gave high visibility to CSSP. The Program invited media to attend and cover 4 CSSP events which was attended by 17 journalists which resulted in 14 media publications (TV, electronic and written media). While CSSP is working to increase dialogue between Moroccan authorities and civil society, the late formation of a new government was followed by the rise of a protestation

movement named Hirak1 in the Rif Region. Although the movement mobilized politicians and the officials at the highest level, the situation didn’t have a major impact on CSSP or its partners.

II. ACTIVITY PROGRESS SIR 2.1.1 CSOs contribute more effectively in the law-making and public policy process CSSP seeks to strengthen CSOs through Number of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) receiving training, technical assistance and USG assistance engaged in advocacy interventions partnership promotion with public entities. 250 199 This quarter, the new agreements increased 183 the total number of assisted CSOs from 179 200 179 181 to 181, with the FY17 target at 183 CSOs. 150 153 Although the program nearly met its overall 100 67 target of 199 CSOs receiving assistance, CSSP believes that there are many more 50 10 10 potential partners that could benefit from 0 training and technical assistance during the

remaining 19 months of the project.

The activities related to this outcome are mainly technical assistance and trainings (TA/T). During this quarter, CSSP provided 18 trainings to members of civil society which included elected officials. These trainings are either a result of the OD exercise or demand driven.

Communication Three trainings were provided on communications this quarter, two of which were for ISO members who work on project management, communications, and monitoring and evaluation (M&E). The trainings were conducted by CSSP’s communication officer in Rabat on June 21- 22. The first day focused on communication development while the second day addressed social media usage and strategies. The pre- and post-evaluation assessments used to determine the number of people who increased their knowledge through these trainings showed a 100% increase by participants on both days. Evaluations also revealed participant satisfaction with

The other training on communications administered this quarter was held in Safi for members of the EPEOGA, which includes Safi’s civil society representatives. The president of the commune and the general manager of the communal services from the Commune of Safi participated in this training. The training assessment demonstrated that most participants were satisfied with the training, the quality of the documentation, the competence of the speakers and dynamics of the training. The training also allowed the participants to prepare a communication plan that will facilitate internal communication within the EPEOGA (the members), as well as its external communications.

The EPEOGA of Safi is composed of 91 members and the internal regulation of the commune expects a 30% representation of women in the EPEOGA. The low participation of members (especially women) appears to be due to several factors including the personal and professional obligations of its members, so CSSP has started to specifically request more equitable gender participation rather than relying on self-selection and internal designation by the EPEOGA.

The results of the OD assessment demonstrated a need to assist the five ISOs in communication strategy and communication capacity-building. Therefore, CSSP prepared a series of 6 training workshops; the two trainings mentioned above are a part of this series. Also, the OD detected a deficiency of staff with communication leadership/competence within the ISOs, so CSSP worked with the ISOs to nominate a member of their staff to participate in the trainings as an additional mentoring component. Two female members and nine total members were assigned this role.

This quarter, two trainings were conducted on advocacy and lobbying within the framework of CSSP. One training was held on May 20 by the Civil Coalition for the Mountains entitled “Lobbying and Pressure Groups.” The other training was a ToT delivered by CSSP for ISOs and Coalition members on advocacy in public policy to foster core trainers in each coalition and ISO who can deploy training to other CSOs. The Pre- and Post-evaluations allowed the observation of an average of (+ 42%) of progress in terms of learning. This percentage represents a difference of (+60) points between the pre-evaluation and the post evaluation.

Almost all participants evaluated in these trainings stated that they had improved their skills and were satisfied with the sessions.

A training was held in Marrakech on June 12 on strategic planning, mobilization of resources and partnership. It was a training of trainers for 16 trainees from ISOs and Coalitions, as well as members and executives of CSOs; there was an equal participation of men and women, 44% of which were under 30-year-old. 80% of evaluated participants stated that they had acquired new knowledge in the subject matter and expressed satisfaction with the training.

Also, the Moroccan Collective for Volunteering conducted two trainings: the first was on administrative and financial management and the second was on resources mobilization. The two activities were attended by 19 male participants and 14 women, of which youth representation was 85%.

In terms of Monitoring and Evaluation, CSSP helped 3 pre-selected coalitions finalize their technical propositions through TAs focused on planning, budgeting and M&E planning, and then provided two additional M&E related trainings. A training on monitoring and evaluation of public policy to CSOs partners of CSSP was held on April 24 in Fes, in addition to a training on monitoring and evaluation to the EPEOGA members of the Commune of Safi on April 29.

As part of a capacity-building plan established in M&E of public policy training 2016, CSSP held a workshop on monitoring and disaggregated participation evaluation in Fes on April 24 which provided participants with tools for monitoring and evaluating public policies. A total of 28 Female participants attended; the Pre- and Post-test Youth Men 31% 24% allowed an average of (+31%) of progress in terms of learning which represents a difference of (+60) points between the pre- and post- Women evaluation. The Safi EPEOGA members had the 21% Male opportunity to learn about the mechanisms of Youth monitoring and evaluation of the activities of the 24% EPEOGA, to which have assisted 34 men and 5 women, of which 31 were members of the EPEOGA and one person being a commune representative. Self-selection unfortunately led to low female participation, but the inclusion of a commune representative reinforced CSSP’s track record of working with local administrators and officials.

ICNL completed the second component of its action plan with the ISOs: a 3-day ToT on freedom of association and volunteerism held in Rabat on June 16-18 for 21 representatives of all five ISOs. The ToT sessions aimed to raise ISO awareness and build capacity to lead trainings on issues related to the legal framework for freedom of association and volunteerism in the different regions of Morocco.

The events were organized in five regions: Rabat-Salé-Kénitra, Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma, Marrakech-Safi, Fès-Meknès and l'Oriental. They were attended by almost 400 participants with a female participation of 28%, and youth participation at 18% (43 young men and 27 young women). The events focused on three main topics:

The coalition seeks to promote the development of the mountain regions and recognition for the contribution of its people to national growth. They also seek acknowledgement for the historical inequalities suffered by inhabitants of these regions and establish specific policies to correct these injustices that continue to worsen. Nearly 230 civil society actors, with a 19% female ratio and 17% of attendants identified as young men and women.

Decentralization/Local Government Strengthening As part of the “MICRA” Project (Mechanisms and consultative bodies for advanced regionalization), Carrefour Associatif, focused on the regions of Oriental, Souss Massa and Rabat-Salé-Kénitra. Six events were held, among which two regional workshops took place in Rabat and Oujda. The project has chosen to tackle weak participation of associations in local affairs, so these events were opportunities to engage with 176 civil society and public actors about mechanisms of participatory democracy (female participation exceeded 36%, and more than 1 out of 5 was less than 30-years old). The results of these meetings were shared in a seminar, whose recommendations will be formulated in a petition to amend texts on youth participatory mechanisms.

Regional workshop organized by Carrefour Associatif in L’Oriental Region

Disabilities Handicarrefour is a coalition that joined CSSP in the previous quarter. Its project advocates for the Marrakech-Safi Region Council to consider awareness and inclusion of person with disabilities in regional public policies and to promote, facilitate and shape a genuine and inclusive participation of citizens with disabilities, particularly in the consultative bodies. The coalition held two main events in Marrakech, among which was a DPO information and awareness workshop on the provisions of the 2011 Constitution and the organic laws of local and regional authorities. The main objective of this workshop was to reinforce the participation in advocacy activities at the local level; the event was attended by 26 civil society actors with a 50/50 male-female ratio.

In addition, CSSP organized three main events called “Débat Iftars” which allowed CSSP to increase programming during the normally slower period of Ramadan. The events were attended by 243 participants with a relatively high level of female and youth participation at 45% and 35%, respectively. Debates addressed the following topics: “The legal and social protection of employees working in the voluntary sector” in Marrakech, “The gender mainstreaming process in public policy” in Rabat (details available below under section SIR 2.1.2), and “Youth and public policy” in Fes.

The legal and social protection of employees working in NGOs CSSP organized an Iftar debate on June 15 that sought to analyze the legal and social protection of employees working in the NGO sector. The activity was co-organized with USAID and supported Ennakhil in Marrakech. 115 participants attended, including CSOs, MPs, government representatives, elected officials and the media. 51 women participated and youth participation included 12 young men and 24 young women. The event included a presentation of international benchmarking on the subject. Follow up workshops are scheduled to highlight current constraints that prevent NGO staff from performing their duties and contributing to the social and economic development of the country. Participants will then propose key recommendations to government institutions, with a focus on proposed amendments to the current draft laws related to social protection of people working in the social development sector and the draft law on CSOs.

Youth-led organizations debate Youth Policy Implementation Challenges in Morocco On June 10 in collaboration with Mouvement Alternative Citoyenne (ALCI), CSSP organized an Iftar debate on challenges of implementing youth policies in Fes. The main objective of this debate was to launch a dialogue about current issues that are hindering effective implementation of inclusive youth policies which respond to the needs and aspirations of Morocco’s youth population. The debate coincided with Lower House discussion of the draft law on the

10

Consultative Council on Youth and Community Work. During the debate, participants discussed the Integrated National Youth Strategy and explored the roles consultative youth councils should play in promoting citizen engagement in public affairs at national and local level. Recommendations were developed by nearly 91 individuals and youth-led organizations, youth policy practitioners and institutional partners, among which are 52 men and 39 females (44/91 are youth: 19 females and 25 men). CSSP and ALCI will follow up to ensure recommendations are taken into consideration in potential advocacy initiatives.

A description of the Iftar debate on gender will be provided below in the gender and social inclusion section below.

Finally, CSSP organized a workshop for FAA Grantees in Marrakech on June 17-18 to provide them an opportunity to exchange results achieved in their CSSP-funded advocacy projects. The workshop was an opportunity to present best practices and lessons learned while implementing advocacy initiatives and reinforce regional or thematic networking among grantees. Approximately three members of each grantee participated and presented the impact of their advocacy action. During the workshop, a series of story-board videos on the results of these advocacy projects were recorded as a form of testimonies to promote on CSSP, CPI and USAID social media platforms; the videos will be completed next quarter.

Outcome 1.3 CSO partner and collaborate with multiple stakeholders to advance targeted reforms Through this objective, CSSP seeks to 2.1.1.3.a Number of advocacy plans developed jointly identify the main actions a grantee will by USG assisted ISO/CSOs and other parties on policy implement to achieve its advocacy project. 60 55 55 The plans contain three phases: (1) Planning, 50 39 (2) Implementation, (3) Evaluation.

This exercise also helps CSOs Target Cumulative actual identify weaknesses and areas of improvements that could be reinforced through CSSP capacity building and coaching. Targets for this indicator envisioned significant time and investment necessary to develop and implement advocacy plans, but progress has been slower than anticipated. CSSP is working with partners to identify any possible under reporting but also ensure greater progress.

The advocacy action plan also contains an in-depth analysis of target audiences (beneficiaries and advocacy stakeholders) to better understand power dynamics and audience position vis-à - vis the advocacy issue. This analysis will help CSOs prepare tailored advocacy messages and arguments while meeting and negotiating proposals/amendments with key decision makers. Furthermore, plans contain measures to ensure gender is integrated in all phases of the project (planning and implementation at the internal and external level); a detailed description of each activity (objective, expected results, targets, duration, approach used, documents linked to the activity and the person responsible for the execution and monitoring of the activity at the level of the CSO); project communication, with an annex on branding and marking; and, Monitoring

11 and Learning Plan, which not only includes results indicators chart, but also PIRs, theory of change and how the project will be monitored and by who, data collection and quality control and reporting requirements and frequency. A sample of experiences is listed below.

Azrou-based Association Jeunesse sans Frontières was able to identify the level of influence and position of actors such as PTAs, students and teachers as well as local elected officials related to the issue of basic services in the vicinity of educational institutions. AJSF will rely more on awareness raising and capacity building activities of local actors to better understand the real conditions of educational institutions, student safety, and the impact of student drop outs. AJSF will conduct several advocacy meetings with the Commune of Azrou with the intent to include a petition on the council’s agenda to address this situation.

Through CSSP, Tanger-based CIDEAL Association was able to better understand the politics of the Commune of Asilah, and identify the role of private water-supply by the company Amendis which could raise awareness about the importance of water management.

Association Nibras helped highlight the role of the Tiflet Commune, province and surrounding communes in fighting against black spots harming the environment. The association highlighted the importance of conducting a research on diseases caused by wastewater and black spots in Tiflet and how it impacts the environment and the health of local population. The project suggests a series of advocacy and capacity-building initiatives, and plans to build a civil society alliance on waste management issues which will develop a petition to be signed by the population for possible inclusion in the Communal Council meeting agenda.

Concurrently, ICNL and L'Association Marocaine de Solidarite Et Developpment (AMSED) concluded discussions about their joint action plan. As a result of these discussions, it was determined that all five ISOs should be included to build a stronger advocacy campaign, so ICNL proposed several other revisions of the plan in order to capitalize on the ISOs’ involvement. The revised plan includes a ToT on freedom of association and volunteerism in Rabat for the five ISOs, followed by trainings conducted by the ISOs for CSOs operating in other Moroccan regions. ICNL proposed these activities to replace the regional and topical meetings in the original action plan. Following AMSED’s agreement to all changes, ICNL shared a revised action plan with AMSED, and the project agreed to hold a planning meeting in order to introduce the amended plan to the ISOs.

AMSED held a planning session on May 18 in Rabat which included representatives of all five ISOs. During the meeting, ICNL and AMSED shared a revised action plan, and the ISOs expressed interest in contributing to its implementation. The ISOs agreed to add another component to the plan, to hold meetings with CSOs in various regions of Morocco to identify day-to-day challenges they face and discuss solutions. After the meetings, partners will convene in Rabat with CSOs from other countries that face similar challenges. Possible solutions and approaches from all the meetings will be incorporated into an advocacy campaign to improve the legal framework governing CSOs in Morocco.

ICNL revised its action plan again to include a new component for ISOs, and share the revised plan with all ISOs.

Enabling Legal and Operational Environment for CSOs As part of the new constitutional and legislative prerogatives relating to participatory democracy, local and regional authorities (regions, provinces, prefectures and municipalities), will establish local participatory mechanisms for dialogue and consultation with citizens and with civil society based on organic laws concerning them (Organic Laws No. 111-14, 112-14, 113.14). To date, several local and regional authorities, in their relations with citizens and civil society, have developed and implemented practices of dialogue, exchange and consultation around the management of local affairs. However, these practices are sometimes informal and not institutionalized, so it is important to define the overall framework of these relations and partnership strategies between the two parties. It is also a question of defining mechanisms, procedures, roles and responsibilities and providing close co-operation framework to both parties to better manage this partnership. In this context, CSSP supports the communes of Fez, Tetouan, Safi, Temara, Drarga and Region of Marrakech-Safi for the implementation of a strategy of their relations with civil society. The main objective is to develop the strategies of local and regional authorities in their relations with civil society, and to support the set up and operationalization of participatory mechanisms at the territorial level.

Volunteer Development

As one of the most important sources for Morocco’s NGO workforce, volunteering and its development are among the most relevant themes of CSSP. During the last quarter, there were two main multi-stakeholder events: The first event was an Advocacy Forum for a Legal and Institutional Framework for Volunteering in Morocco, organized by CSSP in collaboration with ISO partner AMSED and coalition partner “Collectif Marocain du Volontariat” (CMV). The objective of the forum was to present the current status of volunteering in Morocco through the different studies and analysis conducted on the institutional and legal framework of volunteering, in addition to international and benchmarking more specifically on the practices of volunteering in countries with similar context to Morocco. The forum also highlighted several experiences of volunteering documenting challenges, best practices and lessons learned

13 which helped CSO partners develop concrete recommendations and proposals to both government and parliament for the promulgation of a draft project law on volunteering of the government. CMV, who received CSSP advocacy grant related to volunteering, will be using these recommendations in their planned memorandum and petition to decision makers. The forum was attended by 121 participants including CSO partners, elected officials, and members of parliament and government representatives.

The second event held was the creation by the end of April 2017, of the Regional Advocacy Committee for the Oriental Region. This event will be detailed below in Section 2.2.

Perspectives On Gender Integration In Public Policy Process On June 22, CSSP organized a debate on gender integration in the public policy process attended by 44 individuals including 29 women. The initial debate had the following objectives:

• Discuss the degree of correspondence between the regulatory provisions on gender mainstreaming in public policies and their applications in the field of integration • Exchange experiences on the roles of actors including civil society in the field of integration, advocacy and follow-up of the Gender approach in public policies in Morocco • Identify measures that need to be taken to improve the integration of the Gender, Gender and Equal Opportunities into local public policies

Strong participation and feedback from the event has led CSSP to begin planning similar discussions in other cities during the remaining period of CSSP.

Decentralization/Local Government Strengthening As described in the Outcome 1.2 section, the coalition Carrefour Associatif is working on advanced regionalization through its Project “MICRA”. In addition to the regional workshops, the coalition organized an official launch with the following objectives:

• Present the MICRA Project (context, objectives, expected results and work methodology) • Present and enrich the diagnosis carried out by the Réseau Carrefour Associatif at the level of the 3 target regions of the project. • Exchange and share local experiences in the three target regions of the project with regard to the process of setting up regional consultative bodies, especially those related to youth. • Consider ways of collaboration between the various stakeholders involved in the project, identify working mechanisms to strengthen the capacities of civil society organizations at all stages of the project and ensure the effective participation of elected representatives.

This event was held in Rabat and was attended by 58 participants including CSO partners, and members of EPEOGA and government representatives; the female and youth percentages were 40% and 33%, respectively.

Environment In the context of Civil Coalition of the Mountain’s project mentioned above, the coalition organized three working meetings with three key actors: the House of Councilors, the National Council for Human Rights, and the Social and Environmental Council. The Coalition was seeking political support for its advocacy initiatives and Coalition members were satisfied with 14 initial results of these meetings, which reflected general government support for the coalition, although no concrete measures have been advanced.

Disabilities Handi-Carrefour began its advocacy activities by submitting a petition to the Marrakech-Safi Regional Council to allocate a quota to the disabled people to be present in the consultative bodies of the region. The Regional Council President did not agree to include the request in the regional council agenda, but his agreement to consider the request while implementing the consultative body is considered progress. Separately and also as a marker of progress, the Marrakech-Safi Regional Council invited Handi-Carrefour to attend its meeting, and as a follow up, Handi-Carrefour intends to submit a memorandum to the Regional Council in July 2017 to integrate the Handicap dimension into the regional development plan.

Outcome 2.1: Legal and policy framework supports civil society participation in the public policy process

Training administrators and governement officials is paramount for CSSP. It helps the communes implement constitutional provisions and organic laws of local and regional authorities. Most CSSP trainings conducted this quarter included government representatives, but one was done specifically for administrators and officials: 19 government representatives were trained on “teamwork” in Temara, including 4 women and 15 men. As indicated below, CSSP is far exceeding its targets related to government administrators and officials. CSSP believes these training workshops are facilitating greater awareness of constitutional requirements and ultimately increased dialogue with CSSP CSO partners, but CSSP has also noticed increased motivation by officials because training themes are contemporary.

Outcome 2.2 Mechanisms for civil society participation in policy making process developed and institutionalized

At The National Level Following its training for the Moroccan government in early April, ICNL met with the MCRPCS to explore mutual areas of interest and potential coordination. The meeting was attended by Mr. Abdelkarim Boujradi, Civil Society Director, and Ms. Halima Ghiate, Head of

15

Legal Affairs. Several areas of coordination were identified: supporting the amendment of Dahir of 1958 on Freedom of Association; and providing technical assistance on law on public consultations, the law on foundations, the law on public funding, and the law on volunteerism. As a result of the meeting, ICNL will propose a workplan of suggested activities for review and feedback from the MCRPCS.

At The Regional Level During this quarter, CSSP's participating municipalities discussed the review and amendment of internal rules and procedure. This amendment is dictated by the political will of the municipalities for the effective application of the participation of civil society and the citizens in the management of the public needs and the setting up of the participative mechanisms. Also, the regional council of the region of Marrakech-Safi adopted the internal rules revised in its ordinary session on July 3, 2017. In the same framework, the Marrakech-Safi region has adopted the criteria for the selection of the three advisory bodies, as provided for in the regional rules of procedure. Thus, these criteria are based on participation, fairness and transparency.

In line with their programmatic goals, CMV assisted in the creation of the Regional Advocacy Committee for the Oriental Region by the end of April 2017. The committee consists of elected officials, experts in the field of volunteering, operational leaders (social affairs, youth), jurists, academics, ministerial representatives and university professors and has the following responsibilities:

• Ensure the smooth running of operations according to regional operations and actions; • Maintain a relationship within various stakeholders involved; • Follow the advocacy dynamic; • Contribute to the development of proposals and the enrichment of the law on volunteering. This quarter, partners held four meetings in the Communes of Ouazzane, Chaouen and Larach and the Region of Tanger Tétouan Al Hoceima. The meetings addressed the same topic which is the diagnosis and support to the mechanisms of participatory democracy. Two main results came from these meetings: the first is that CSSP will assist the ISO La Colombe Blanche through technical assistance to the communes of Ouazzane, Chaouen Larach and Mellaliyine, the second result is the ongoing dialogue related to building a partnership between CSSP and the region of Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima.

On April 20, ICNL proposed a workplan that aims to support the Regional Council of Tangier- Tetouan-Al Hoceima in implementing the right to submit petitions. The workplan was based on participant recommendations from the March 31 consultative meeting on regional petitions. Suggested activities included: holding meetings with relevant stakeholders in the Regional Council to introduce the workplan; organizing workshops on amending the internal bylaws of the Regional Council; preparing guides that detail the process of submitting, receiving, and reviewing petitions; providing trainings to CSOs and relevant entities of the Regional Council on the petition process; and holding a meeting to share the experience of the Regional Council in implementing the right to petition with other regional councils in Morocco.

On May 23, ICNL met with the Regional Council to further discuss the proposed workplan and agree on future activities and their timeline. During the meeting, the Regional Council suggested additions to the proposed plan, which ICNL incorporated and then returned to the Council for approval. The four additions by the Council are listed below: 1) preparing a paper on best practices in implementing local petitions process;

16

2) hosting focus-group meetings with the Regional Council on amending internal bylaws; 3) organizing meetings to share suggested amendments with the relevant officials and staff of the Regional Council; 4) developing videos describing the petition submission process, the petition review process, and the experience of the Regional Council in implementing the right to petition. The revised workplan is awaiting approval by the Council.

At The Communal And Provincial Level During this quarter, the EPEOGAs in the commune of Fes, Temara and Safi were able to benefit from several training sessions on several themes: such as roles and responsibilities of the entity and the municipal council; gender mainstreaming in the CAP, communication, monitoring and evaluation. It should be noted, this period was mainly an experimental phase of the various working tools produced and that it was important to provide the entities with another kind of support and technical assistance enabling them to fully play their consultative roles at the commune level. ICNL met with the Provincial Council of Larach to discuss potential collaboration regarding the implementation of the right to submit petitions at the provincial level. A Moroccan network of organizations called Espace Associatif (EA) which will act as the CSSP/ICNL local partner with regards to the potential action plan with the Provincial Council, facilitated the meeting. Participants in the meeting included: Mr. Said Faddouli, vice president of the Provincial Council; Mohammed Al Hilali, clerk of the Provincial Council; Abdelouahed El Ghazi, national coordinator of EA; and Farida Zakariya, Larache local coordinator of EA. During the meeting, the Provincial Council expressed willingness to work with ICNL on actualizing the right to petition in Morocco. ICNL agreed to organize a consultative meeting that gathers representatives of the Provincial Council and CSOs operating in the province to share recommendations on how best to implement the right to petition. The meeting is expected to take place in October or November 2017. Based on the recommendations discussed in the meeting, ICNL will develop a workplan that supports the Provincial Council in implementing the right to petition.

III. MEASURABLE RESULTS TO DATE CSSP updated its performance indicators that are consolidated in the Annex 2.

OPI Evaluation No OPI Evaluations were performed this quarter.

IV. CROSS-CUTTING CDCS THEMES Gender & Social Inclusion (GSI) In the last quarter, CSSP held 662 trainings and events with 2,184 participants. Participation was primarily self-selection by partner organizations, and the disparity between male and female participants has resulted in specific requests by CSSP for more equitable gender participation.

CSSP continues to work with its partners to improve the male-female ratio in training workshops, but with regard to gender-related trainings, CSSP is aware that greater exposure by male participants can also result in increased sensitivity towards gender issues.

V. STAKEHOLDER COLLABORATION

19

The flowchart above is an updated, more accurate and specific representation of both the actual work of CSSP but also potential programmatic and technical initiatives. For example, CSSP has active partners in 6 of Morocco’s 12 regions, including contact with the communes and select ministries, but there are potential sources for subsequent activities in Morocco: dialogue, regional and international exchange, symposium topics, follow up training with trainers from those areas, etc.

On that note, ICNL continued to work with other international and national organizations in Morocco to coordinate activities and avoid duplication of efforts. ICNL met with Westminster Foundation for Democracy and the European Union to learn more about their existing projects with the HoR during which ICNL learned that both organizations are supporting the HoR on areas outside ICNL's scope, including the HoR's research and studies center and online library on topic such as social justice, climate, and evaluation of public policies. Despite the narrow intersection of ICNL's work with the EU and WMD projects, CSSP/ICNL will continue to coordinate to ensure synergy of efforts.

VI. LESSONS LEARNED & MEL UPDATE CSSP initiated a management review last quarter to identify challenges the program has faced including underreporting and lower-than-expected follow up by CSSP with CSO partners.

One initial change has been an altered approach to developing and drafting the quarterly report to make the document (and program) more focused on results. Thus, the present report contains less activity description and more analysis, significant changes and statistics in order to spotlight CSSP successes and challenges.

At the same time, collection of data and contact with CSOs appears to be linked whereas increased contact by CSSP M&E officers should reinforce programmatic strategy through more consistent follow up through regular communication but also the use of pre- and post- cumulative records. Several kinds of anomalies were observed in the filling of these records that causes a considerable loss of data, especially about acquiring new skills by trainees.

Despite ongoing political deadlock and slowed implementation during the month of Ramadan, CSSP and ICNL focused activities on the local level and ISO action plans. While work with the Regional Council and the Provincial Council was successful and reflected fruitful collaboration, work with the ISOs faced several challenges. As one example, despite holding a planning meeting with the ISOs to review and discuss details of the ToT on freedom of association and volunteerism, and sharing most of these details in writing via e-mail, ICNL received negative comments and feedback from the ISOs during the ToT. The late timing of the feedback made it difficult to take corrective measures. ICNL could have revised its strategy and maximized positive experiences among the ISOs if they had been more responsive and communicated these concerns earlier – e.g., during the planning meeting, or in response to correspondence with the ISOs. Additionally, the majority of comments raised concerns that had been suggested by the ISOs and were already incorporated in the curriculum. Examples of comments to ICNL are listed below:

• The duration of the ToT was insufficient. • The ToT should have specified the objectives of the ToT and of the following regional trainings. • The ToT curriculum should have included more in-depth information about the different themes.

20

• The ToT curriculum should be simpler; particularly to suit CSOs with basic knowledge and rudimentary expertise in the international and Moroccan legal framework governing CSOs and volunteerism. • The curriculum should have included examples of best practices.

ICNL plans to send the ISOs a written response to all comments received in the future and hold a meeting to determine the roles and responsibilities of ICNL and the five ISOs in implementing action plans, as well as to decide on a means and timeline for communicating updates and feedback. Additionally, it may be useful to consider circulating minutes of meetings and call notes to document points of agreement and avoid potential misunderstanding going forward.

VII. CONTRACT/AGREEMENT MODIFICATIONS In the last quarter, CSSP issued two employment agreement modifications (EA) and a new employment agreement: • Modification for the M&E Officer • Modification for the Junior Accountant to reflect a new job description as a second Grants Officer within CSSP • A new agreement for the Contracts Manager

VIII. MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES CSSP undertook a management review which will be concluded in the next quarter. During this quarter, the program lost two key personnel: Herve de Baillenx (COP) and Driss Benjelloun (DCOP) who resigned in May 2017. As such, Counterpart immediately sent a management team, composed of Matthew Brady, Senior Technical Advisor/Acting COP and Elliot Mitchell, HQ Program Manager to provide organization and programmatic oversight to the program during this transition period. Efforts in recruiting for these positions started June 2017 and are anticipated to be finalized in the next quarter. Along with the recruitment of key personnel efforts, CSSP is also realigning its internal structure and procedure to encourage a positive and healthy environment that promotes efficiency, integrity and motivation for and by all staff and partners.

ICNL is realigning CSSP staffing to increase its in-country presence and maximize its impact by hiring a consultant who will spend two weeks per month in Morocco. The consultant will assist with logistics, attend and participate in meetings and events, and monitor legislative and political developments. The consultant is expected to begin working in the next quarter.

IX. BRANDING, OUTREACH AND COMMUNICATIONS Communication Strategy and Branding Awareness In this quarter, CSSP produced compelling content on social media in three languages (Arabic, French and English) through 10 testimonies and 21 highlights of the most important events at national and local levels. Since April 2017, CSSP increased the number of Facebook ‘Likes’ by 162% and reached more than 110,391 people on Facebook and Twitter. For the first time, CSSP analyzed the demographics of its audience on Facebook and Twitter. On Facebook, the overwhelming majority of Fans are in Morocco, with only small numbers in France, the US, Algeria and Tunisia; by contrast, on Twitter, 73% of readers are in Morocco, 11% in the US, and 3% are in France. On Facebook, 67% of Fans are male and 32% are female. 32% are between the ages of 18-24, 21% are between the ages of 25-34, and the remaining 13% 21 are 35 years-old and above. On Twitter, 64% are male and 36% are female. Facebooks offers an additional geographical breakdown revealing that most Fans are in Casablanca with Rabat- Sale next, followed by Marrakesh and Fes. These statistics reinforce the generally held opinion that Facebook is a more popular and effective tool for disseminating social media in Morocco than Twitter. With more likes and followers per month on Facebook than Twitter, CSSP uses Facebook for target audiences and Twitter mainly for politics and media. Also, CSSP posts in three languages with French being the most dominant by users, but CSSP is going to increase posts in Arabic based on feedback from civil society. CSSP invited media to attend and cover 4 of its events. The first forum on “Advocacy for the legal & institutional framework of volunteering in Morocco,” was held on April 29 in Rabat and was attended by 7 journalists that resulted in 6 media publications. As noted above and during a normally slow period, CSSP accelerated programming through three regional “Iftar Debates” in Marrakech, Fes and Rabat in June 2017; 10 journalists attended these events which resulted in 8 media publications (TV, electronic and written media). Moroccan media leaders such as Aujourd’hui Le Maroc, Femmes du Maroc, Hespress, MAP, and SNRT gave high visibility to CSSP; Hespress, for example, reaches more than 2 million people per day.

Also noted above, CSSP Morocco held a two-day communication training on June 21 for the benefit of 5 partner ISOs (AMSED, Association Number of people reached on Social Media Ennakhil, la Colombe 60000 55640 Blanche, Forum Azzahrae, and Maroc Mouvement 50000 Alternatives Citoyenne). 40000 The objectives of the trainings were to provide 30000 partners with techniques and 16300 20400 19200 18451 20000 15098 tools to help them develop 14447 12500 13803 10100 their own communication 10000 6700 5697 and digital strategies, and to strengthen their internal and 0 external communication janv-17 Fev- 17 mars-17 avr-17 mai-17 June 2017 systems. CSSP will support Facebook Tweeter its partners as they implement their strategies for a higher visibility of their organizations and their activities. CSSP developed 9 videos highlighting the results and the impact of our grantees projects. In the next quarter, CSSP will finish editing the videos and disseminate them on social media. Success Stories The following is a representation of few success stories highlighted this quarter:
