Towards the creation of Moroccan expatriates observatory

A Moroccan Immigrants Body on Thursday signed a partnership convention with the International Organization for Migrations (IOM) that will lead to the creation of an observatory of Moroccan expatriates.

The convention was by delegate chairman of the Hassan II Foundation for Moroccans settled abroad, Omar Azziman, who is also justice minister, and IOM director general, Brunson Mc kinley.

The observatory will strengthen the foundation's institutional and technical capacities through a system of information and research which will analyze information on Moroccan expatriates, contribute to the elaboration of new management strategies, along with governmental organisms and the private sector, Azzimane said.

By virtue of the three-year convention, the IOM will provide equipment and expertise necessary for the observatory, and ensure the development of the foundation's human resources. The foundation will contribute to the project with the necessary human resources and infrastructure consisting of accommodation and the existing means of communication.
