The new Moroccan migration policy is based on humanitarian considerations and promotes integration and access to the healthcare system, education, housing, employment, and other services. It considers migration as an opportunity rather than a social, economic or political threat.

It focuses on burden sharing between countries of origin, destination and transit, as well as the responsibilities and duties of migrants themselves. It has bilateral, regional and international governance dimensions. This Royal initiative was welcomed by the United Nations, international organizations, diplomatic missions in Morocco, and civil society organizations which support migrants and asylum seekers.

Initially, Morocco was considered as a country of origin or transit towards Europe, not attractive for short stays. Since the beginning of the years 2000, Moorcco has become a country of destination for migrants coming from Sub-Saharan and Middle-Eastern countries, but also more an dmore from Asia and Europe. Addressing the different and profound change of migratory dynamics, Morocco has chosen to implementn a new migration policy, based on a humanist, coherent and global approach.

This strategie has led to four broad objectifs, trough a participate methods: 

• Facilitate regular migrants' integration;
• Upgrade the regulatory framework;
• Put in place an appropriate institutional framework; and
• Manage migratory flows in the respect of human rights.

It includes eleven programs in fundamental areas such as education, health, housing, social and humanitarian assistance, vocational training, employment, management of migratory flows, combatting human trafficking, cooperation and international partnerships, conventional and regulatory framework, governance and migration.

This policy implemented by Morocco is also related with the global governance of migration, in the framework of efforts renewed by the international community in favor of safe, orderly and regular migration. Since the adoption of the National Migration and Asylum Policy, the mechanisms put in place have allowed the regularization of the situation of thousands of irregular migrants, the same access to public services to migrants and refugees as the Moroccans and the upgrade of the regulatory framework.
