A Prosperous Year

Because human development is key to the prosperity of the Southern Regions, OCP Group asked the Phosboucraa Foundation to help promote human capital and skill-building in the Southern Communities in an environmentally friendly manner. For the past two years, the Phosboucraa Foundation has worked with various stakeholders to create projects and initiatives in the region. Thanks to this participatory approach, the Foundation has made great progress and provided concrete results to social, cultural, entrepreneurial, environmental and agricultural issues. 2016, in particular, was a historic year. The inauguration of the Foum El Oued Technopole in February by His Majesty Mohammed VI stands out as one of the most inspiring projects in the region and marks the beginning of a new wave of achievements. Participating in the Committee of the Parties (COP22) of the 2016 UN Climate Change Conference, with the Foum El Oued Technopole as a featured project; presenting the Technopole at Cityscape Global, the largest real estate exhibition in the Middle East; and launching a second Learning Center in Dakhla, following the success of the one in Laayoune, are just a few of the successes that made 2016 a truly remarkable year. We would like to extend our gratitude to all of our partners who have worked alongside us, to all of our partners who have been involved in our projects – from the beginning stages to the end, and above all to the communities in the Southern Regions, who have made our endeavours true success stories and a catalyst for their own success.
