Morocco’s King Mohammed VI lauded for leadership on migration --[Reported by Umva mag]

During the African Union Forum, which reviewed progress related to the Global Compact for Migration, King Mohammed VI’s leadership in migration was commended. Morocco’s role in shaping African migration policies was emphasized during the second regional assessment of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) held in Addis Ababa. This event, organized by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and the African Union (AU) Commission, provided a platform for stakeholders to assess the progress made in addressing the continent’s migration challenges since the Global Compact was adopted in 2018.

A key moment of the meeting was the acknowledgment of Morocco’s contributions to migration governance. Minata Samate Cessouma, the African Union Commissioner for Health, Humanitarian Affairs, and Social Development, praised King Mohammed VI for his efforts to promote an African approach to migration. “His Majesty King Mohammed VI has played a crucial role in leading migration initiatives across Africa,” she stated, addressing AU and UN officials.

Central to Morocco’s engagement in this area is the African Migration Observatory, a specialized technical office of the African Union located in Rabat. Established in 2018 and officially launched in December 2020, this observatory is a key element of Morocco’s commitment to effective African migration governance.

Since its inception, the African Migration Observatory has taken a central role in analyzing migration patterns, monitoring trends, and facilitating cooperation among African nations. The data it collects aids in identifying migration flows and patterns, thereby addressing challenges such as human trafficking, irregular migration, and forced displacement. The observatory’s mandate includes providing centralized, harmonized, and up-to-date migration data to inform policy decisions and enhance overall migration management throughout Africa.
