About Nabila
My passion for female empowerment began as a mere interest in breaking the stereotypes about women in Tech and Science. That interest that had shaped and defined my choices in life from an early age, growing in a rural area where only the happy few girls were lucky enough to make it to the university and engineering was a male-dominated career.
I successfully passed the Engineering school selection test and managed to acquire the merit to choose my preferred major Networks and telecommunication. My work experience as an IT Manager in the Social Action Division has significantly sparked my interest in social entrepreneurship, I had enrolled into an MBA program to research the role of ICT could play in scaling up the impact of social enterprises in Morocco. Closely examine and share the lessons learned from a successful ICT-based social enterprise in Morocco: Anou.
As a youth economic inclusion program coordinator, my duties include:

The program covers: entrepreneurial skills training, access to capital through new financing opportunities for SME at the seed and growth stages, and mentoring from new and established entrepreneurs
- Promoting enterprise culture among the youth and raising awareness about how to create a sustainable impact through social entrepreneurship.
- Facilitating synergies and cross-sectoral cooperation by enhancing the role of municipalities in the local coordination of youth inclusion services offered by various provincial entities.
