Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the NGO-isation of sub-Saharan immigrants in Morocco, intensifying their reliance on non-governmental support while also revealing the limitations and challenges faced by these organizations. From an anthropological perspective, it is crucial to consider the power dynamics, cultural adaptations, and intersectional factors that shape the experiences of migrants. This approach provides a nuanced understanding of how migrants and NGOs navigate the complex landscape shaped by the pandemic, emphasizing the need for sustainable and inclusive support mechanisms that respect migrant agency and resilience.
