The Moroccan House of Representatives approved unanimously on Wednesday a draft law to set up the headquarters of the African Observatory for Migration and Development (OAMD) in Morocco’s capital Rabat.

According to this draft law, the OAMD will undertake the task of collecting information and developing its exchange as well as facilitating coordination among African countries on migration issues.

The establishment of this observatory was suggested last year by King Mohammed VI of Morocco when he was the African Union (AU) chairman on the issue of migration.

In July 2018, the AU heads of state endorsed the king’s proposal.
