THAMM+ Équipe France — the Franco-Moroccan bilateral arm of the broader EU-funded THAMM program — focuses on establishing durable, sector-specific mobility channels between the two countries, with particular emphasis on agriculture and hospitality and catering. PRIM2, financed by the French Development Agency (AFD), builds on the first PRIM phase launched in 2020 and takes a territorial approach to migration governance. This decentralization of migration governance reflects Morocco’s broader model of advanced regionalization and its ambition to manage migration as a development tool rather than a security problem. Morocco has long been recognized as a model for migration governance in the region, owing to its 2013 National Immigration and Asylum Strategy developed under Royal impetus. THAMM+ and PRIM2 operationalize that strategic positioning by converting partnership declarations into funded, monitored and accountable programs.
