Islamic Republic of Mauritania
The systematic country diagnostic (SCD) of Mauritania seeks to identify key constraints and priority interventions needed for the country to achieve the twin goals of the World Bank Group: (i) ending extreme poverty; and (ii) improving shared prosperity among the poorest forty percent of the population (the bottom 40). The analysis steps back from the World Bank Group’s existing portfolio to conduct a broad overview of the country’s socioeconomic development. The SCD is designed as an analytical input for stakeholders to debate development priorities. It was undertaken during the period in which the government was developing a new accelerated growth and shared prosperity strategy (strategie de croissance acceleree et prosperite partage, SCAPP). The diagnostic draws on an extensive knowledge base and presents findings and conclusions in an accessible format geared towards stimulating dialogue with the authorities and relevant stakeholders. The SCD is derived principally from the wealth of recent analysis by the World Bank Group and other sources. While studies were undertaken during the course of the SCD preparation to complement the existing analytical knowledge base, important knowledge gaps remain. The SCD identifies these gaps and presents a range of issues for further analysis.

| Summary: | The systematic country diagnostic (SCD)
of Mauritania seeks to identify key constraints and priority
interventions needed for the country to achieve the twin
goals of the World Bank Group: (i) ending extreme poverty;
and (ii) improving shared prosperity among the poorest forty
percent of the population (the bottom 40). The analysis
steps back from the World Bank Group’s existing portfolio to
conduct a broad overview of the country’s socioeconomic
development. The SCD is designed as an analytical input for
stakeholders to debate development priorities. It was
undertaken during the period in which the government was
developing a new accelerated growth and shared prosperity
strategy (strategie de croissance acceleree et prosperite
partage, SCAPP). The diagnostic draws on an extensive
knowledge base and presents findings and conclusions in an
accessible format geared towards stimulating dialogue with
the authorities and relevant stakeholders. The SCD is
derived principally from the wealth of recent analysis by
the World Bank Group and other sources. While studies were
undertaken during the course of the SCD preparation to
complement the existing analytical knowledge base, important
knowledge gaps remain. The SCD identifies these gaps and
presents a range of issues for further analysis. |
