MCPS Period<br />

Outcomes that the<br />

IDB Group Expects to<br />

Support<br />

Government Goals / Strategy Current Challenges/<br />

Binding Constraints<br />

Access to food improved<br />

as measured by the Food<br />

Security Commission<br />

(CSA)<br />

Challenges<br />

Food security improved<br />

Incomes increased for<br />

targeted communities in<br />

IDB intervention areas.<br />

Rural Poverty reduced<br />

Rural areas, where more<br />

than 50% of the poor live<br />

have sufficient potential<br />

to ensure food security<br />

and eliminate poverty,<br />

and contribute positively<br />

to the national economy.<br />

Infrastructure ( access<br />

roads, small dams, wells,<br />

gardens, grain storage,<br />

etc.). Equipment (grain<br />

mills, fences, tools, etc.).<br />

Farmers trained and<br />

organized.<br />

Community-based<br />

integrated rural<br />

development and<br />

watershed management<br />

project (CBIRD-WM).<br />

Project: X1<br />

Provide food security;<br />

More areas under<br />

production and higher<br />

yields obtained.<br />

Agriculture production in<br />

rain fed areas increased.<br />

<strong>Mauritania</strong> rain fed<br />

zone can sustain more<br />

than twice the actual<br />

production of cereal<br />

and pulses if existing<br />

improved techniques<br />

for soil and water<br />

conservation and<br />

management were<br />

adopted, if functional<br />

value chains were<br />

established and if local<br />

communities were fully<br />

empowered.<br />

MCPS for <strong>Mauritania</strong>, 2011-2015 35<br />

Alleviate poverty;<br />

Promote the sustainable and<br />

equitable growth of the sector.<br />

Increase its contribution to the<br />

national economy.<br />

X hectares of irrigated<br />

schemes rehabilitated<br />

and under production.<br />

Farmers trained and<br />

organized.<br />

Rehabilitation of existing<br />

irrigated schemes (REIS).<br />

Project: X2<br />

Rice yields and<br />

production increased.<br />

and economic viability of<br />

local rice achieved in IDB<br />

supported projects.<br />

Rice yields and<br />

production increased.<br />

and economic viability of<br />

local rice achieved in the<br />

Senegal River Valley.<br />

Irrigation potential<br />

(137.000ha) is sufficient<br />

to meet most of country<br />

needs for rice, vegetables<br />

and animal feed and<br />

allow for some vegetable<br />

and/or fruit exports.
