Under Decree No. 1930, the Tunisian Government establishes the National Migration Observatory which acts as a research and coordination body on issues affecting the Tunisian community abroad and migrants in Tunisia.
The "National Strategy for Moroccans Living Abroad" (Stratégie nationale en faveur des Marocains du Monde) was launched in 2014. The strategy was developed in the context of the new Migration and Asylum Policy, initiated in September 2013 by King Mohammed VI and adopted in 2014. The strategy has three strategic objectives: Preserving the identity of Moroccans Living Abroad, protecting the rights and interests of Moroccans Living Abroad, and encouraging Moroccans Living Abroad contributions to the development of the country. It focuses on mobilizing the skills of Moroccans Living Abroad, attracting their investment and improving their access to public services.
Under the 2014 Constitution, Tunisia expands the opportunity for political engagement of long-term Tunisian expatriates by guaranteeing the right to vote of Tunisians abroad in the representative assembly and the right of dual nationals to run for the presidency, provided that they renounce their second nationality in case of victory.
Decree No. 634 created the State Secretariat for Immigration and Tunisians Living Abroad which, in addition to the longstanding Office of Tunisians Abroad, now oversees and coordinates government activities on migration and expatriate issues and also develops proposals for outreach to emigrants.
Organic Law No. 12-01 reaffirms the right of expatriates to vote, and also includes compulsory quotas for expatriate communities to ensure their representation in elected assemblies.
