Abstract

Corruption secures benefits for those with power, status, money, or protection. Corruption generally manifests itself in the form of a tacit convention that is put in place discreetly, gradually, and cumulatively by feeding itself and secreting its own rules, mechanisms, and intermediaries. In Morocco, social tolerance towards corruption is strong, influenced by a general feeling of impunity and the inequality of citizens under the law. The force of the political discourse displayed, and which is supposed to fight it remains unchanged without notorious effects. However, emerging technologies can serve as a remarkable lever to transform public actions in their fight against corruption through a paperless environment, the reduction of red tape, and highlighting the gray areas where corruption thrives. By focusing on the Moroccan case, this chapter highlights the role that digitalization can have in the moralization of public life by acting on three levers: publishing multiple data, mitigating risks associated with excessive discretion, and creating new public-private partnerships.
