Country context
Mauritania is a country in West Africa with an area of 1,030,700 km² (twice the size of France) and a population of only 4.6 million inhabitants. The territory consists mainly of the Sahara Desert, with pasture areas to the east and fertile agricultural land to the south. The climate is extremely arid, with recurring droughts and hot, dry seasons, as well as a rainy season. Administratively, the country is divided into 15 wilayas (regions), subdivided into moughataas (departments) and its official religion is Islam.
Intervention and positioning of the FIU in Mauritania:
The French Red Cross Delegation has been operational in Mauritania since 2000 with coordination in Nouakchott, 2 sub-delegations: Kaédi in the Gorgol region and Bassikounou in the Hodh El Chargui region, and a base in Nouadhibou in the Dakhlet-Nouadhibou region.
The intervention of the FIU in Mauritania is part of a cooperation agreement with the Mauritanian Red Crescent (CRM) with a view to providing it with technical assistance for the development of its operational and institutional capacities in accordance with the principles of Red Cross Red Crescent Movement.
