Morocco joined UNESCO on November 7, 1956. Opened in 1991, the UNESCO Office Rabat is a cluster office representing Algeria, the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia.

Education is a major area of cooperation between UNESCO and Morocco. The country is also actively participating in gender equality activities. There are 13 UNESCO Chairs in the country, four of them focused on human rights.
