TASHAROC – FOR AN OPEN REGION
Mid-Level Consultant Enabling Technical assistance to strengthen Consultative Bodies’ Internal Structures
April - December 2019
Background
The purpose of the Tasharoc project is to support implementation of Morocco’s Advanced Regionalisation process in the northern region of Tanger, Tétouan and Al Hoceïma (TTAH), through the provision of technical assistance and capacity building to its regional government bodies and civil society. It is structured around the following three key areas: strengthening the capacity of regional government bodies, primarily the TTAH Regional Council (RC) to better deliver on and respond to the needs of citizens; providing support to more effective service delivery, particularly on implementation and monitoring of the Plan de Développement Régional (PDR); and convening opportunities for improved dialogue and collaborative working between regional stakeholders (government institutions, civil society, media, private sector and citizens). Tasharoc is a two-year project based in Tangiers, funded by the UK Government and implemented by a consortium of DAI, NDI and Golden Resources.
Regional Council
The RC is an elected local body governed by public law and is, according to Organic Law 111-14, in charge of various development areas in the region. The RC of the TTAH region is one of the 12 regional councils in Morocco that constitute the first administrative division in the framework of advanced regionalization.
*Consultative Bodies (CBs)*
As stated in Article 117 of the Law N° 111-14, The RC has established three consultative bodies (CBs):
- Consultative Body of Youth
- Consultative Body of Civil Society
- Consultative Body of Economic Actors
The role of these CBs is to provide the RC with their insights, views and opinions about the PDR and to propose ways to improve regional policy making.
Scope of work
As part of its technical support to the RC in establishing collaborative mechanisms between the RC and civil society, TASHAROC seeks to hire a Mid-Level Consultant to:
- Formulate internal bylaws for the CBs and then provide training for their members.
- Provide technical assistance to the CBs on adopting policy platforms.
- Support a workshop in the National Conference on the Tangier Charter for Consultative Bodies that TASHAROC will facilitate.
