In Dakhla, a vision is being realized under the leadership of an exceptional woman: Nisrine Iouzzi, a State engineer specialized in hydraulics and geotechnics, now bears the heavy responsibility of directing the Development and Monitoring Directorate of the Dakhla Atlantique port project. This is the portrait of a great intellect, proudly made in Morocco, overseeing a project destined to connect Africa to the world.
Driven by boundless ambitions and profound expertise, Nisrine Iouzzi is masterfully steering the development of the Dakhla Atlantique port. Her journey, from the helm of this colossal project, has been shaped by specialized higher education in Morocco and a career marked by pivotal roles in the management and planning of significant maritime projects. Her hands-on skills have prepared her to tackle the challenge of this large-scale infrastructure.
Nisrine Iouzzi’s story is one of ascent fueled by a thirst for knowledge and a commitment to her country’s development. Trained at the National School of Mines in Rabat, she quickly stood out for her interest in environmental and hydraulic challenges, a field where precision and innovation are paramount.
Continuing on this trajectory, she expanded her knowledge at the Mohammadia School of Engineers to master numerical modeling of the natural environment. Her quest led her to obtain a doctorate in marine hydrodynamics, a specialization that foreshadowed her future involvement in the ambitious Dakhla Atlantique port project.
Nisrine Iouzzi wasted no time in putting her skills to work for her homeland. Her early professional steps, as project manager for the Agency for the Promotion and Economic and Social Development of the Southern Provinces, saw her orchestrating urbanization projects in Laâyoune, thereby affirming her role in improving regional infrastructure.
Her recognized expertise also led her to the Ministry of Equipment and Water, where she worked on the protection and organization of the maritime public domain, a preamble to her current role where she combines strategic vision with technical excellence.
By taking the reins of the Dakhla Atlantique project, Nisrine Iouzzi is not merely overseeing a simple construction; she is orchestrating the birth of a strategic economic and maritime hub. For her, this monumental project firmly anchors itself in a visionary royal plan, with the ambition of strategically positioning the region at the heart of international maritime trade. This port also embodies the future and symbolizes Morocco’s commitment to its future generations.
