Mr. Lemrabott Ould Bennahi added that his department would work to improve and strengthen cooperation relations between AAAID and the various components of the private sector, which will raise the level of the projects it supports in Mauritania.

For his part, AAAID President Mr. Mohammed bin Obaid Al Mazroui presented the objectives of the organization and the projects it has undertaken in the member states.

It should be noted that the total cost of the organization’s investments in Mauritania amounts to US$ 74.11 million, creating thus around 2,303 job opportunities.
