Parlons développement 16e édition - Digital innovation: A drive for sustainable dev in Morocco

April 24, 2024

Depuis 2020, le Policy Center for the New South, le Programme des Nations unies pour le développement (PNUD) et la Banque mondiale ont lancé l'initiative « Parlons développement », qui consiste en une série de réflexions collectives sur les grands enjeux du développement durable. Cette initiative vise à examiner les transformations durables, qu'elles soient positives ou négatives, ainsi que leurs impacts sur l'agenda des objectifs de développement durable (ODD). La plateforme de débat « Parlons développement » est destinée aux jeunes et est organisée en collaboration avec différents partenaires pour être au plus près des préoccupations des jeunes et du grand public. Elle vise à stimuler un débat riche sur les leçons à tirer des crises récentes qui ont affecté les progrès accomplis en matière d'ODD. Dans le cadre de cette initiative, la seizième édition de « Parlons développement » est organisée en partenariat avec l’Université Al Akhawayn et aura pour objectif d’ouvrir le débat sur le rôle de l’Intelligence Artificielle et l’Innovation Digitale dans la promotion et l’atteinte des ODD. Lieu : Université Al Akhawayn-Ifrane.
