Support to data protection in Morocco
Morocco has been Party to the Council of Europe Convention for the protection of individuals with regard to automatic processing of personal data (Convention 108) since September 2019, but the CNDP has long before been taking part as observer in the work of the Consultative Committee of Convention 108. It was thus very obvious that in the framework of the Neighbourhood Partnership between the Council of Europe and Morocco, a co-operation programme be designed and implemented with as primary objective to foster the ratification of the Protocol modernising Convention 108 (known as Convention 108+) as well as to support the CNDP’s efforts in enhancing data protection in the Kingdom of Morocco.
The main directions of this programme are:
- Supporting the data protection legislative revision
- Enhancing the capacities of the CNDP to support it in the delivering of its missions
- Supporting the CNDP’s sectorial awareness raising efforts as well as when facing the development and spreading of emerging technologies
This programme is supported by Liechtenstein, Norway and Spain.
