Context: IOM has been present in Morocco since the early 2000’s; Morocco has been a Member State of the Organization since 1998 and a Headquarters Agreement was signed in July 2006 which led to the opening of diplomatic IOM representation in January 2007 in Rabat. Since 2012 IOM has been implementing the USAID-funded programme "Favorable Opportunities to Reinforce Self-Advancement for Today's Youth (FORSATY)" in the region of Tangier and Tétouan in the north of Morocco. This programme is being implemented in close collaboration with Government of Morocco ministry partners and with local nongovernmental organizations. The programme aims to prevent delinquency and reduce recidivism among targeted youth in selected areas of Tangier and Tétouan. The main expected outcome of the programme is that marginalized youth from Tangier and Tétouan are able to better access economic and social opportunities, share in economic growth, live healthy lives, and contribute to the well-being of their households, community, and the country as a whole. Using a “positive youth development” approach, youth in selected neighborhoods benefit from education, life skills, and other youth-friendly services with the goal of ensuring school success and/or reintegration, access to vocational training and/or employment placements. To ensure sustainability of the quality of services provided to target youth populations, the programme focuses programming on youth-serving institutions to improve their ability to approach youth. These efforts will develop tailored programmes for at-risk youth. The overall goal is that marginalized youth in peri-urban neighborhoods at risk for extremist activity are not open to such messaging and actors; rather marginalized youth are integrated to become productive citizens. Concretely, the project aims at: Building youth assets; Ensuring that elected officials implement policies that benefit marginalized youth; Youth finding jobs.
