Migrations & Development (M&D) is a French-Moroccan non-governmental organization founded in 1986 by Moroccan migrants originating from the Atlas and Anti-Atlas mountains, together with French engineers. For nearly forty years, the organization has been carrying out solidarity-based initiatives in close cooperation with local communities to support sustainable development in rural and urban areas that are significantly affected by climate change.

In the 1990s, M&D’s initial interventions focused on improving village infrastructure, including rural electrification, construction of hill dams and irrigation systems, upgrading schools and health centers, and providing access to drinking water.

Today, M&D continues to work in mountain villages through programs in agroecology and water resource management, while also expanding its activities to urban areas, the wider Souss-Massa region, and the national level. The organization supports civic initiatives that empower youth, assists young people and women developing green economy projects, supports local authorities in designing Gender Equality Agendas, strengthens the capacities of local elected officials in gender-responsive budgeting, reinforces women’s rights associations, and works to protect the rights of migrants.

M&D also accompanies the Moroccan diaspora in France and Europe in development initiatives, particularly through skills transfer and intercultural exchange between communities on both sides of the Mediterranean, bringing together youth, elected officials, and researchers.

Our mission: strengthening communities committed to building a sustainable and inclusive future.
