Why trust in institutions?
The MIPA Institute seeks to contribute to the public debate on trust in institutions by organizing the first edition of its annual activity; Rabat Policy Forum 2019 (#RPF_2019). This will be done on the basis of a critical approach of the nature of political and economic institutions and its relation to the issue of trust of Moroccans in these institutions.
By opening the debate between scholars and decision makers, the goal of the #RPF_2019 will be to provide profound explanations and critical analyses, hence approaching the subject from multiple perspectives. The forum will also propose alternative policies which will be handed to decision makers in order to design comprehensive policies.
Rabat Policy Forum
The #RPF_2019 is meant for research and political debate. It is held annually, gathering researchers as well as decision makers from different Moroccan and international institutions and universities. It aims to discuss issues related to public policy analysis and its evaluation. The forum looks after tackling topics concerned by public policy issues in Morocco and overseas.
The aim is to introduce a profound critical academic dialogue between the specialists in the domain of public policy analysis and decision makers to achieve a thorough diagnosis of public policies while constructively criticizing them, proposing policy alternatives and thinking of potential options.
The works of the forum will be culminated in publishing research in Arabic and English which will be distributed to decision makers and experts in Morocco and other countries.
