About me
Born in Rabat in 1981 and originally from Tafraout, Fatiha El Moudni grew up in a strict but influential environment. Her father, surrounded by people of different nationalities, backgrounds, and ideologies, inspired her to take an interest in associative, economic, and political life. Her rich and diverse background earned her the current appointment as Honorable Mayor of Rabat, since 25 March 2024. Starting as the Secretary of the Rabat City Council and a substitute at the UCLG World Council, she has clearly demonstrated her leadership and commitment by chairing numerous commissions and taskforces, and actively participating in various forums. Actually, she held several key positions in the statutory bodies of many important international organizations and networks. Her roles as Co-Chair of the Strong Cities Network, President of the International Association of Urban Lighting (LUCI), and Vice-President of Metropolis, among others, highlight her dedication to urban development and international collaboration. Serving as the UCLG Treasurer and being part of the LRG Advisory Group to the UN General Secretary, would indeed provide her with significant platforms to influence global urban governance and financial management.
After following a purely Moroccan academic path, then American university, her extensive international experience in countries like England, Turkey, Ireland, the UAE, Germany, and South Korea has undoubtedly shaped her into a well-rounded and accomplished businesswoman. Creating the “African League for Leadership” and serving as vice-president of the “Association of Youth People for Social Development in SOUISSI district” are significant contributions. These roles allow her to share her wealth of experience and foster social inclusion and good governance in Morocco. Ms. EL Moudni’s ability to balance her roles as a CEO and her associative commitments is truly admirable.

Ms. EL Moudni continues to make a significant impact through her involvement in various associations that support women in vulnerable and challenging situations. Her dedication to these causes demonstrates her unwavering commitment to creating a more inclusive and equitable society.

She is particularly focused on promoting sustainable development, social inclusion, and gender equality.
