Six Moroccan charities have won funding and support after taking part in the second edition of DIGIT@CTION, a programme that helps civil society groups build digital tools to solve social problems.
The winners were announced on 10 July at the headquarters of Caisse de Dépôt et de Gestion (CDG) in Rabat. Khalid Safir, Director General of CDG and President of Fondation CDG, led the closing ceremony.
DIGIT@CTION is part of the Awane Tam’kin programme, which supports charities by helping them use digital technology to improve their services.
The programme began with a bootcamp on 7 July, where participants worked on their ideas, defined their goals and refined their projects.
A hackathon followed on 8 and 9 July in partnership with DXC CDG. Charity representatives worked alongside mentors from the CDG Group through a skills volunteering programme. They developed business plans, prepared rollout strategies and produced detailed technical documents for their projects.
An expert jury chose six winning projects for their innovation, social value and potential to make a real difference.
The Moroccan Association for People with Cerebral Palsy (AMI) from Casablanca Settat won for SMARTCARE by AMI, a digital platform that helps doctors, social workers and families coordinate care for children with cerebral palsy.
Association Massar for Inclusive Development from Rabat Salé Kénitra was recognised for City Drive Guide, a mobile app that lets people with reduced mobility find, book and report accessible parking spaces.
The Moroccan Association Against Myopathies (AMM), also based in Rabat Salé Kénitra, won for AMM Connect, a mobile platform that digitises medical follow-up and helps distribute social assistance more fairly to people with myopathies.
Association AFAQ (ARIPH) from Laâyoune Sakia El Hamra received an award for COSTEP (Together in Every Step). The platform allows doctors, government services and families to share information so children with disabilities can receive treatment more quickly.
The Association Initiatives for Women’s Rights (IPDF) from Fès Meknès was recognised for HIKMA (GBV dataCollector), a data platform that helps analyse support services for women who have experienced gender based violence. The information is designed to help improve public policy.
The Association Competences of Tomorrow for Development and Culture from Béni Mellal Khénifra won for TAMKIN DIGITAL, a platform that gives social workers access to a shared support record to improve social integration programmes.
Each winning organisation will receive funding as well as tailored support to help develop and launch its project.
“Each participant came with their own expertise, and it was precisely the combination of our different perspectives that made this experience incredibly valuable,” said DIGIT@CTION mentor Imane M.
“This hackathon was a decisive step. It allowed us to focus on designing a practical tool with direct support from CDG experts,” said Abdelouahed Janbari, a representative of the Moroccan Association Against Myopathies.
Fondation CDG was created in 2004 and supports social development projects across the country.
