1- Purpose and scope of The International Congress on Desert Economy – Dakhla, Morocco.
The International Congress on Desert Economy – ENCG, Dakhla, Morocco (ICDED), is the pioneer and the very first worldwide scientific research meeting ever organized (the first edition was in February 2018) on arid lands, the Sahara, and desert economic development, whose approach is to think globally (internationally) and act locally, it’s annually co-organized by the National School of Business and Management (ENCG) of Dakhla, and the Regional Council of Dakhla Oued Eddahab region - Morocco. This fifth edition will be held on April 18 and 19, 2024, at the ENCG, Dakhla city, Morocco (see the previous edition of 2023).
The ultimate purpose of The International Congress on Desert Economy - Dakhla, is to be an interdisciplinary scientific research platform on the desert, arid lands, and the Sahara (hot drylands, hyperarid or semi-arid regions, oasis and remote rural areas) economy, management, and development (rural development), in order to contribute effectively to the good governance and in the sustainable development of arid lands worldwide, by attracting and promoting investment opportunities in the Sahara and deserts, and by stimulating meetings between all stakeholders on a global scale: Academics, Professionals, Policy-Makers, Civil society and NGOs..., with a view to fostering dialog, partnership, and cooperation among desert countries worldwide: Africa and the Gulf States (the MENA and the Sahel...), the United States of America, Australia, China, India, South America..., with the aim of valuing and promoting the desert knowledge and its related studies' and conferences' findings and recommendations, and creating a conducive environment to the exchange of experiences, expertise, trainings, educational practices and innovation, around themes related to the desert economy and to the arid lands management, such as Tourism, travel industry and tourism economics; Livestock economics, management, and production; Agriculture, aquaculture, and agricultural economics (rural economics); The Economics of water, drought and water scarcity management; Renewable energy, energy economics, and energy management; Mining and natural resource management; Phosphate economics and the phosphate fertilizer industry; Transportation and logistics; Fisheries, maritime, sea, and ocean economy; Economics of space (space economy) and space industry; Technology and innovation; Water sports and entertainment, sports economy and sports management; Cultural and creative industries, tangible and intangible heritage; Biodiversity, wetlands, environment, and nature conservation and management...Thus, each year, an edition will be organized.
Besides the main theme of this fifth edition entitled “Scientific Research in the Service of Desert, the Sahara, and Remote Rural Areas Economic Development”, it will also be devoted to addressing general issues on the desert (Sahara) economy management and its sustainable development.

3- Argument. By Dr. Elouali Aailal.
Except in a few countries, the development level of deserts and remote rural areas in many regions worldwide still needs to be proportional to their enormous economic potential. To cope with such economic and social disparities, relatively originated in some geographical factors (remoteness, difficult accessibility, rugged terrain...), scientific research is the vital and practical approach for the sustainable development of these regions. In order to establish spatial justice and address sustainable development challenges in deserts and remote or isolated areas, policymakers might adopt long-term national and regional plans and strategies, aiming for the sustainable development of these promising territories by implementing well-driven and adequate policies, considering their context and geographic configuration.
Education and scientific research endeavors need to be oriented toward the critical concerns of the sustainable development of deserts, arid lands (the Sahara), and remote rural areas (mountain regions) via the creation of scientific and academic entities in these regions (universities, colleges, institutes, schools, laboratories...), while encouraging and favoring the youth to study desert and remote rural areas related scientific and economic fields: Tourism (desert tourism, Saharan tourism), travel industry, and tourism economics; Livestock economics, management, and production; Agriculture, aquaculture, and agricultural economics (rural economics); The Economics of water, drought, and water scarcity management; Renewable energy, energy economics, and energy management; Mining and natural resource management; Phosphate economics and the phosphate fertilizer industry; Transportation and logistics; Fisheries, maritime, sea, and ocean economy; Economics of space (space economy) and space industry; Technology and innovation; Water sports and entertainment, sports economy and sports management; Cultural and creative industries, tangible and intangible heritage; Biodiversity, wetlands, environment, and nature conservation and management…
An efficient way to develop deserts and remote rural areas would be to draw on international collective intelligence by taking advantage of successful international experiences that have enabled the sustainable development of these deserts and remote rural areas by engaging in bilateral or multilateral international collaboration and partnerships, and by providing financial and moral support and incentives to national and international organizations and private investors, working to develop deserts and remote areas.
The Moroccan success in opening up and developing its deserts, especially its Sahara, is a model that could be a benchmark on a global scale. Indeed, from totally barren, inaccessible, and unproductive land to a prosperous resilient region endowed with sophisticated mega-infrastructures, Moroccan deserts have made considerable progress in record time, thanks to the implementation of some specific development strategies adapted to Saharan and desert regions, including the New Development Model for Morocco's Southern Provinces.

11- About this Congress.
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" “رواد الصحراء “), 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-ever created Moroccan, African, and International organization, specialized in Arid Lands, Sahara, and Desert economic development (oases and remote rural areas development), business, management, and in promoting, attracting and encouraging investment in the Sahara and deserts (arid lands). The Desert Action Association was created on the initiative of Dr. Elouali Aailal. 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.

12- The " Théodore Monod Desert Award " project.
In february 2017, and by an initiative of Prof. Elouali Aailal, the Desert Action Association - Dakhla, was the instigator of the project to create an annual Prize named "The Théodore Monod Desert Award " (Prof. Théodore Monod), to be the first worldwide Award for scientific research and economic development of arid lands, the Sahara, and desert, in order to pay tribute and honor the memory of this exceptional man who devoted his life to scientific research on the desert and arid lands, and to acknowledge his human qualities and his pioneering efforts on desert and Sahara studying and exploring. The idea was to annually award this Prize within the framework of the editions of the International Congress on Desert Economy - Dakhla, to encourage and enhance scientific, economic and development studies and research on deserts (arid lands, Sahara), in its different aspects: scientifics, economics...
