To strengthen the role of youth as agents of community development, the Policy Center for the New South launched a year ago a call for projects grounded in new and innovative approaches to existing local problems. The Oasis Agrytech Hackathon project is aiming to preserve the Draa Tafilalet region’s natural and human resources from climate change consequences. It will focus especially on a couple of hundred local young adults ranging from 16 to 35 years old, through a 3-day event where they will be mobilized and trained by some twenty local and national experts into scheming entrepreneurial solutions and opportunities for the region, a panel of judges will select by the end of the event one of the pitches to fund and implement.
