IDB Group Expects to<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 />

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.
