Ensuring the protection of refugees and asylum seekers in Morocco
UN Volunteers support the work of UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) in Morocco in ensuring the safety of refugees. A team of six UN Volunteers has been serving with UNHCR Morocco for the past two years, delivering results in community protection and refugee reception.
According to UNHCR, there are more than 19,000 refugees and asylum seekers from 48 countries registered in Morocco (as of April 2022). Thus, Morocco is considered both a host and a transit country, which makes UNHCR’s mission crucial to ensure protection of refugees and access to asylum procedures.
