The PROGUARD project in the European Guardianship Network is a promising project to strenghten effective guardianship and cross-border coordination across Europe. 

The provision of quality guardianship to unaccompanied children is key if they are to receive an appropriate level of care and protection and if they are to achieve their full potential. Quality guardians can play complementary roles of ensuring that all decisions are made in the best interests of the child and contributing to the provision of safe and effective decision making by State actors.

In 2014, Morocco adopted the National Immigration and Asylum Strategy. It is in this context that the new Hijra wa Himaya project, co-funded by the European Union and UNICEF, promotes the rights of migrant children in Morocco.

Morocco provides access to public and private schools and non-formal education for migrant children, regardless of administrative status, and has preparatory courses to prepare migrant and refugee children for inclusion in the formal school system.

The project on “Supporting Migrants and Potential Migrants from Egypt through Information” was launched in 2001 at the initiative of Egypt's Ministry of Manpower and Emigration (MME) and with the support of the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

Public Services International (PSI), in collaboration with ILO's European Union-funded “Decent Work Across Borders” (DWAB) project has produced seven pre-decision, pre-departure, and return migration guides for healthcare workers.
