Benguerir is the capital of the Rehamna province, in Morocco. This traditional small town has presented itself in recent years, as an innovation and technology excellence center. If in 2009, the « Green city » initiative was launched near the existing metropolitan area, local authorities now observe a social fracture between this last one and the old town, which is poorer and offers fewer opportunities. Unemployment, which particularly affects young people, is also accompanied by a digital fracture.

By joining the ASToN network, local authorities wish to improve young people quality of life and create new employment opportunities by strengthening their digital skills and improving their access to various digital resources. In doing so, they also hope to fill a training gap and help create a more efficient employment market for the future.
