Morocco’s Social Support Agency Joins National Information Access Portal to Boost Transparency
The Agence Nationale de Soutien Social (ANSS) has officially joined the National Portal for the Right of Access to Information, a move designed to increase institutional transparency as the agency works to refine its social welfare systems.
This integration comes as the agency seeks to better evaluate the social impact of its direct aid programs. The ANSS currently manages a massive safety net benefiting 12 million people across 4 million households. This targeted support specifically reaches 5 million children between the ages of 0 and 21, as well as 1 million elderly citizens.
The move underscores a broader effort to develop the administration of social aid more accessible and accountable. By adhering to the national transparency portal, the agency aims to provide clearer insights into how these critical resources are distributed to the country’s most vulnerable populations.
The agency has also been expanding its operational reach to ensure aid is delivered effectively. On February 27, 2026, the ANSS launched a pilot territorial representation in El Jadida. This expansion follows Royal orientations to guarantee a tangible and sustainable social impact for the families enrolled in the direct social assistance program.
Strategic oversight of these initiatives continues at the highest levels of government. On February 18, 2026, Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch presided over the second ordinary session of the ANSS Board of Directors in Rabat. The meeting focused on the continued development and implementation of social support policies, specifically the direct aid framework that was first launched in late 2023.
This commitment to institutional transparency is highlighted by the agency’s adherence to the National Portal for the Right of Access to Information, ensuring that the public can more easily navigate and understand their social rights.
