Morocco is a major supporter of the Global Pact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration coordinated by IOM, according to Ambassador, Permanent Representative of Morocco in Geneva, Omar Zniber.
With its 23 objectives, the Pact in which Morocco participates, ensures the dignity, respect, and integration of migrants.
“Morocco is advancing toward a more open and equitable global society with regard to migration by creating workable solutions”, said Zniber at the 32 session of the Standing Committee on Programs and Finance of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) on Tuesday.
In February 2023, Morocco made the decision to contribute to the IOM Multi-Partner Fund for Migration (MPTF). This initiative aims to send a powerful political message of collaboration and effective multilateralism.
Morocco is the first African and Arab country to contribute to the IOM MPTF Fund. In addition to this fund, Morocco intends to engage in ten additional programs by 2026 to sustain the Pact’s efficient implementation, according to the ambassador.
The emerging phenomenon of “climate migrants” has a greater impact on Africa more than any other continent, with negative effects on forced migration, livelihoods, and societal resilience.
” We note with appreciation that IOM allocates 30% of the operational portion of its budget to climate change action and risk reduction considerations,” said Zniber.
Humane migration benefits both migrants and societies, as noted by Zniber, who asserts that “safe migration is a factor of innovation, prosperity, and sustainable development.”
