Policy Center for the New South

The Policy Center for the New South is a Moroccan policy-oriented think tank striving to promote knowledge sharing and to contribute to an enriched reflection on key economic and international relations issues. By offering a southern perspective on major regional and global strategic challenges facing developing and emerging countries, the PCNS aims to provide a meaningful policy-making contribution through its four research programs: Agriculture, Environment and Food Security, Economic and Social Development, Commodity Economics and Finance, Geopolitics and International Relations. On this basis, we are actively engaged in public policy analysis and consultation while promoting international cooperation for the development of countries in the southern hemisphere. In this regard, the Policy Center for the New South aims to be an incubator of ideas and a source of forward thinking for proposed actions on public policies within emerging economies, and more broadly for all stakeholders engaged in the national and regional growth and development process. For this purpose, the Think Tank relies on independent research and a solid network of internal and external leading research fellows. One of the objectives of the Policy Center for the New South is to support and sustain the emergence of wider Atlantic Dialogues and cooperation on strategic regional and global issues. In parallel to this, we strive to build a strong Young Professionals Network of emerging leaders dedicated to Africa's transformation, by providing original and stimulating opportunities for involvement with a rising generation of new decision makers in various sectors.
