Join on Telegram Rabat – Morocco’s National Authority for Probity, Prevention, and Fight against Corruption (INPPLC) signed on Tuesday an institutional partnership agreement with the General Directorate for National Security (DGSN) and the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST).
In a joint statement, the two parties described the accord as “a strategic and legal milestone” that goes beyond a simple technical cooperation framework.
The agreement, they said, “reflects the state’s explicit will to shield its internal front against corruption risks by establishing a sustainable system of coordination and institutional complementarity between a sovereign security apparatus and an independent constitutional body.”
Signed by Abdellatif Hammouchi, Director General of DGSN and DGST, and Mohamed Benalilou, President of the INPPLC, the agreement has been in preparation since July 4.
It seeks to strengthen collaboration between the security services and the anti-corruption authority to ensure efficiency, professionalism, and respect for human rights in the handling of corruption-related cases.
Strengthening cooperation against corruption
The agreement establishes mechanisms for exchanging information, technical and operational support, and expertise in investigating and preventing corruption. It also includes the organization of specialized training programs on detection and investigation techniques and the development of shared reference guides for intervention.
Additionally, it foresees the creation of early-warning systems and a national corruption risk map, along with awareness campaigns promoting integrity and transparency within professional environments.
Through this framework, the INPPLC will make its expertise available to Morocco’s security services in implementing international anti-corruption commitments, while also benefiting from technical tools such as the new generation of the national electronic ID card, under strict legal and procedural safeguards.
A step toward good governance
The joint statement described the agreement as “more than a working tool; a renewed strategic and legal declaration that the fight against corruption is not a limited technical matter, but an integrated institutional and strategic process reinforcing the rule of law and good governance.”
It further stated that the partnership “places Morocco in an advanced position on the global anti-corruption map, as a country capable of turning formal commitments into tangible outcomes that strengthen citizens’ trust in public institutions.”
National and international context
The signing comes as Morocco continues to consolidate its institutional reforms to enhance transparency and accountability, in line with the UN Convention against Corruption and the constitutional principles mandating the prevention of all forms of corruption.
The agreement also aligns with King Mohammed VI’s directives calling for renewed momentum within governance institutions and greater cooperation among national bodies to monitor reforms and major public projects.
In a context where corruption remains one of the most significant threats to justice, sustainable development, and public confidence, the accord represents a firm institutional commitment to combating misconduct and fortifying Morocco’s internal resilience through both prevention and enforcement.
The signing of this agreement also comes amid ongoing GenZ212 protests, where thousands of young Moroccans across the country have taken to the streets demanding transparency, accountability, and concrete measures to fight corruption.
The movement, which has grown into a nationwide call for reform, reflects deep public frustration with decades of perceived mismanagement and impunity. For many of these youths, strengthening integrity within public institutions is seen as a necessary step toward rebuilding trust between citizens and the state.
