Rabat – The Moroccan government plans to deploy 2,373 Amazigh-speaking agents by the end of 2025, announced Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, Minister Delegate for Digital Transition and Administrative Reform.
She shared the update with the Chamber of Representatives on Monday, and then responded to questions regarding the process of officializing the Amazigh language in Morocco.
The minister said that 464 Amazigh-speaking agents are already serving at central and decentralized levels.
Meanwhile, this year, the government intends to recruit an additional 1,840 agents proficient in Tarifit, Tachelhit, and Tazamight as well as assign 69 Amazigh-speaking agents to 10 call centers to implement the language within such institutions.
On the topic of public administration signage, Seghrouchni reported that the Amazigh language now appears on 3,000 signs across seven public administrations. Efforts are also underway to add the language to over 1,000 signs, including those in embassies and consulates.
Digitally speaking, the minister shared that Amazigh has been integrated into 10 official government websites as part of a pilot project.
The goal is to extend this inclusion to all public administration websites. The Ministry of National Education is also working on a platform to teach the Amazigh language online for students.

Seghrouchni pointed to the government’s ongoing efforts to promote Amazigh communication, including the translation of plenary sessions in the Chamber of Representatives and the Chamber of Counselors, as well as all weekly government press conferences.
Additionally, the ministry continues to support Amazigh culture through various events and initiatives throughout the year.
Seghrouchni also mentioned the commitment of public administrations, which signed 13 partnership agreements on the occasion of the Amazigh New Year 2975.
To support this, the Ministry of Public Administration Modernization Fund (FOMAP) has updated its legal framework to prioritize digital transition and the use of Amazigh, including the creation of a department to develop the language’s use within the ministry.
This latest push is part of Morocco’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the presence and official use of the Amazigh language across all sectors.
