By the end of 2024, UNHCR had registered 18,900 individuals in Morocco from 64 countries. A significant increase in asylum-seekers was recorded, with 4,679 new registrations, primarily Sudanese fleeing the civil war that began in April 2023.
Progress continued in Humanized Border Management, with national authorities presenting a referral mechanism at two events co-organized with UNHCR, CNDH, and key partners. UNHCR also supported capacity-building efforts with trainings for law enforcement and judicial actors, and participation in international forums.
UNHCR and partners responded to 1,083 protection incidents. In a regional first, Morocco’s national census included refugee- and migrant-specific questions, with 104 trained refugees and migrants involved in data collection.
With rising needs, particularly among unaccompanied children, UNHCR remains committed to strengthening protection, documentation, and inclusion across Morocco.
