Abstract

This article examines Morocco's ongoing efforts to modernize public administration, with a particular focus on the New Public Management (NPM) framework. As Morocco faces growing demand for high-quality public services, complex public issues, budgetary constraints, and rapid technological changes, the Moroccan government has undertaken a wide range of significant reforms aimed at modernizing its public administration. This study assesses the current state of public administration modernization in Morocco and explores how NPM principles can contribute to this transformation. It also highlights the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing NPM in the Moroccan context. The hypothesis suggests that NPM can significantly improve service quality, responsiveness to citizens' needs, and resource efficiency. Our research provides practical insights for Moroccan public administrators and emphasizes the potential of NPM to enhance governance and public service delivery. It underscores the need for cultural alignment and tailored approaches to ensure the successful implementation of NPM in Morocco, ultimately contributing to a more efficient and responsive public administration.
