HIGHLIGHTS

  • End of February, the Bureau des Réfugiés et des Apatrides started the regularisation process of the refugees identified through UNHCR’s refugee status determination procedure after September 2013. At the end of March, 28 new refugees had been auditioned by the inter-ministerial Committee on regularisation and all were regularised.

  • UNHCR registered a pick in Syrians approaching the office in January, with 222 persons. In February and March, the trend is back to what it was during the last quarter of 2014 (around 100 persons per month).

  • On March 10, the Ministry of Moroccan residing abroad and of Migration Affairs presented to the donor community its “National strategy for Immigration and Asylum”. The strategy includes 11 sectorial programmes aiming at supporting refugees and immigrants to have access, i.a., to education, health, housing, social and humanitarian assistance and employment. It also includes the creation of a Moroccan Office for Refugees and Stateless Persons.

  • On March 31, the Ministry of Migration Affairs organized the second annual forum on immigration under the theme “Challenges of multiculturalism and integration issues”. The forum was an opportunity to begin a national dialogue on the various dimensions of interculturalism, studying the achievements and limits of integration policies in other countries, focusing on the lessons which should guide public action in the construction of a Moroccan model of cultural integration.
