AMUSSU: Strengthening Civil Society’s Capacity to Act and Shape Decisions

The AMUSSU initiative is part of the Strategic Support Programme for Civil Society (PASSC), which is implemented under the 2023–2027 partnership between the Kingdom of Morocco and the European Union.

The programme is implemented by a consortium led by Migrations & Développement in partnership with the Moroccan Association of Life and Earth Sciences Teachers (AESVT-Maroc) and the Italian organisation COSPE.

The programme aims to strengthen civil society’s role in promoting good governance, protecting the environment and tackling climate change.

AMUSSU helps civil society organisations build their capacity, take a greater role in shaping public policy and contribute to its implementation, while encouraging local initiatives, dialogue among stakeholders and the sharing of experiences and good practices.

The initiative places particular emphasis on collective action and encourages sustainable, inclusive solutions suited to local circumstances and the needs of residents.

As part of this initiative, the Ain Lahjar Association for Rural Women’s Development leads a project that places rural women at the heart of climate action and sustainable local development.
