About this Congress

The idea of the International Congress on Desert Economy

The idea of the International Congress on Desert Economy - Dakhla,  arose for the first time by an initiative of Prof. Elouali Aailal, in the framework of the "Desert Action " association (literally in Arabic "Desert Pioneers" “ روادالصحراء “), on February 2017, in Dakhla city, then, thanks to an official convention between the National School of Business and Management (ENCG Dakhla) of Dakhla, and the Regional Council of the Dakhla Oued Eddahab Region, this agreement provides for the annual co-organization of this Congress.

The " Desert Action "Association, in Dakhla, is the first Moroccan, African, and International organization, specialized in Arid Lands, Sahara, and Desert economy development (oases and remote rural areas development), business, management, and in promoting, attracting and encouraging investment in the Sahara and deserts (arid lands).  The ultimate goal of the Desert Action Association is to enhance scientific research and development (R&D) on Deserts, Arid Lands, and the Sahara, in an approach of thinking globally (Internationally) and acting locally.
