The Secretary-General of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Development, Mr. Yacoub Ould Ahmed A\u00efcha, chaired a meeting on Tuesday at the Ministry\u2019s headquarters in Nouakchott to review the reform matrix proposed by Mauritania and the World Bank as part of the country\u2019s eligibility for funding under the Prevention and Resilience Allocation (PRA).<\/p>\n
The meeting aimed to strengthen the partnership between the Mauritanian government and the World Bank Group. It brought together technical and financial partners to discuss priority reforms and develop a realistic and comprehensive reform matrix designed to deliver tangible results.<\/p>\n
In his opening remarks, the Secretary-General stated that the consultations reflect the vision of His Excellency President Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani, which emphasizes prevention, proactive action, and peacebuilding as key pillars of sustainable and inclusive development. He noted that this approach is reflected in government policy under the leadership of Prime Minister Mokhtar Ould Djay.<\/p>\n
He explained that this vision is reflected in the National Strategy for Consolidating Peace and Social Cohesion (2025\u20132030), adopted by the Council of Ministers on December 31, 2025. The strategy prioritizes decentralization, territorial integration, the economic empowerment of women and young people, natural resource governance, and the prevention of extremism.<\/p>\n
He stressed that the mobilization of resources under the PRA depends on achieving the expected results. He therefore called on the relevant ministries and institutions to take ownership of the reforms falling within their respective mandates and ensure that commitments are implemented within the agreed timelines.<\/p>\n
The Secretary-General also expressed the government\u2019s appreciation to the World Bank Group for its continued support and confidence, as well as to technical and financial partners for their ongoing assistance to Mauritania.<\/p>\n
For his part, the World Bank\u2019s Resident Representative in Mauritania, Mr. Ibou Diouf, highlighted the importance of cooperation between Mauritania and the World Bank Group and stressed the need to further strengthen this partnership. He noted that the meeting provided an opportunity to discuss the proposed reforms under the Prevention and Resilience Allocation.<\/p>\n
He also underscored the importance of cooperation in peace and security amid the region\u2019s complex security, economic, social, and environmental challenges, while expressing his appreciation to the Mauritanian government for its continued cooperation with and confidence in the World Bank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
