The Digital Development Agency (French: Agence de Développement du Digital, ADD) is a strategic Moroccan public institution responsible for implementing the national strategy for digital development. Established in 2017, the agency acts as the central coordinator for the Kingdom's digital transition across public and private sectors.[1]

Strategy and 2030 Roadmap

In alignment with the Digital Morocco 2030 strategy, the ADD focuses on modernizing the administrative ecosystem and fostering a competitive digital economy. Its current roadmap emphasizes:

  • E-Government: Streamlining public services through national digital platforms.[2]
  • Regional Expansion: In 2025, the agency initiated a plan to create regional branches (antennes régionales) to bridge the digital divide and bring digital services closer to local territories.[3]
  • Digital Inclusion: Scaling training programs like the "Digital Academy" to upskill the national workforce.[4]

Governance

The agency is led by a director general. Since late 2025, El Mezouaghi has overseen the agency's strategic transition, succeeding Mohammed Drissi Melyani who led the institution since 2019.[5] It operates under the administrative tutelage of the Ministry of Transition to the Digital and Administration Reform.
