Public Sector & NGOs: the cost of the gap, and how to measure it

The evolution of the public sector and NGOs in Morocco is marked by complex issues related to governance, transparency, and service efficiency. In a context where civil society plays an increasingly prominent role, it is essential to analyse ongoing dynamics and identify improvement levers. This sector case study aims to provide relevant insights for leaders of organisations operating in this sector.

Method warning

A typical case, not a client

This study does not describe any real clients and does not report any results obtained from a client: our confidentiality commitments prohibit this. It sets out explicit working hypotheses, then derives orders of magnitude through calculations that you can replicate line by line. During a diagnosis, your figures replace ours.

The starting point

The modelled situation

The Moroccan public sector and NGOs face various challenges, particularly in resource management, action coordination, and impact assessment. Citizens' expectations for quality public services are increasing, as is the need for NGOs to demonstrate their effectiveness and transparency. The reforms undertaken aim to modernise administrative practices and strengthen collaboration between public and private actors. However, barriers remain, such as bureaucracy, lack of training, and absence of suitable evaluation mechanisms. Sector actors must therefore rethink their strategies to address contemporary challenges and beneficiaries' needs.

The calculation

Result, line by line

This sector case study highlights the challenges and opportunities faced by stakeholders in the public sector and NGOs in Morocco. By adopting a collaborative approach and investing in skill development, it is possible to improve service efficiency and meet citizens' expectations. The recommendations aim to encourage strategic thinking and prompt leaders to take concrete actions to transform their organisation. Engaging in this process will not only optimise resources but also strengthen beneficiaries' trust in institutions and NGOs.

The diagnosis

What we measure first

Lack of coordination

NGO and public administration initiatives often lack synergy, leading to duplication of efforts and resource dispersion.

Insufficient skills

Public sector and NGO actors suffer from a lack of continuous training, limiting their ability to adapt to contextual changes.

Low impact assessment

Project evaluation mechanisms are often absent or insufficiently rigorous, making it difficult to measure the effectiveness of actions taken.

Excessive bureaucracy

Complex administrative procedures slow down project implementation and discourage innovation within organisations.

The work plan

How the mission unfolds

1

Strengthen coordination

Establish dialogue platforms between NGOs and administrations to promote information sharing and collaboration.

2

Develop skills

Organise targeted training sessions for sector stakeholders to enhance their project management and evaluation skills.

3

Establish evaluation mechanisms

Develop suitable evaluation tools to measure project impact and adjust strategies accordingly.

4

Simplify procedures

Reform administrative processes to facilitate access to funding and reduce implementation timelines.

5

Promote transparency

Implement accessible reporting systems to ensure better communication on the results and impacts of actions.

The follow-up

The indicators implemented

Identified during the diagnosis and monitored throughout the mission: these are what make the result demonstrable, not just declarative.

  • Budget execution rate by programme
  • Average processing time for a user request
  • Compliance rate of contracts with procedures
  • Number of closed audit recommendations
  • Outcome indicators reported to funders
Clarity

What causes this type of project to fail

Lack of collaboration+
Isolated initiatives from NGOs and administrations have often resulted in limited outcomes and missed opportunities.

The training offered does not always meet the real needs of stakeholders, limiting their effectiveness.
Superficial evaluations+
Projects are sometimes evaluated without in-depth analysis, making it difficult to identify lessons learned.
Administrative rigidity+
Cumbersome and complex procedures discourage innovation and slow down project implementation.
