In this context, the role of Europe is seen to be crucial in influencing the evolution of migration policy, and financing aid to support Moroccan institutions in migration management. Particular attention is given to the programme Mediterranean City-to-City Migration, financed by the European Trust Fund for Africa, due to its bottom-up approach, in order to identify positive and replicable models of positive coexistence.
