Ms El Mansouri has been appointed head of the Moroccan government and intends to form a government that meets the expectations of the king and citizens. The appointment is part of the changing role of women in the country’s institutions, while the 2004 reform of the Family Code is an important milestone, reports Bamada.net.

Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri has been appointed head of the Moroccan government, according to Bamada.net. The official said she wanted to form a team that would meet the expectations of the king and Moroccan citizens.

According to the media outlet, the appointment is part of the process of institutional modernisation begun under the reign of Mohammed VI, who ascended to the throne in 1999, and of opening the country’s highest offices to women.
