Moroccan Institute for Policy Analysis

ABOUT US

The Moroccan Institute for Policy Analysis is a non-profit independent research institution based in Rabat, Morocco. Founded by a group of transdisciplinary researchers, MIPA’s mission is to produce systematic and in-depth analysis of relevant policy issues that lead to new and innovative ideas for solving some of the most pressing issues relating to democracy.

WHAT WE DO

Policy Analysis

MIPA’s main activity is to produce systematic, in-depth, accurate and objective analysis of policy relevant issues. Findings and analyses are published by the institute in the form of policy briefs, research articles and thematic reports.

Rabat Policy Forum

Each year, MIPA organizes an annual policy forum bringing together researchers, policy makers and government officials to discuss, debate, and reflect on a specific policy theme. In January 2019, MIPA organizes the first edition of the Rabat Policy Forum themed “The Quality of Political and Economic Institutions in Morocco”.

Trainings and Workshops

The third main activity of the MIPA is to train young researchers and academics in the policy analysis domain. The trainings are geared towards preparing the next generation of researchers and academics to take the next step in their careers and build their skills to be able to produce in-depth effective analyses of policy relevant matters.
