For nearly a decade, Morocco has been implementing a migration and asylum policy with a human face, in accordance with the High Royal Guidelines, respecting migrants’ dignity and rights. The goals of this policy draw on a system of shared values that has been the DNA of Moroccan society for thousands of years. In line with this strategy, which enshrines the Kingdom’s eminently African vocation and is based on a supportive and inclusive approach, Morocco welcomes more than 12,000 sub-Saharan students to its universities, 90% of whom receive scholarships from the Moroccan government. More than 8,100 African nationals have benefited from these operations since 2018. Thanks to all these efforts, Morocco is one of the first countries in the South to have adopted a genuine solidarity-based policy to welcome sub-Saharan migrants, following an integrated human approach that protects their rights and preserves their dignity.
