Cultural Adaptation and Resilience in Southern African Migrant Communities of Morocco
Abstract
Migrant communities in southern Africa from Morocco have faced diverse socio-economic challenges due to cultural differences and integration issues. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with quantitative surveys among the Moroccan migrant population in southern African countries. A significant proportion (45%) of respondents reported overcoming language barriers through informal community support networks, facilitating cultural integration. Cultural adaptation and resilience strategies employed by these migrants are crucial for their well-being and social cohesion within host communities. Supporting organizations should prioritise fostering intercultural dialogue and capacity-building programmes to enhance migrant integration efforts.
