【 摘 要 】

Mauritania’s abundant endowment ofnatural resources, its strategic location at the gatewaybetween Sub‐Saharan and Northern Africa, its richly diverse,yet stratified, cultural and social make‐up and its positionin a restive region, increasingly beholden to the ravagingeffects of climate change, create a complex developmentspace for poverty reduction and shared prosperity. The endof the commodity super‐cycle brought these challenges to thefore, marking a decisive turning point in Mauritania’s questto end poverty and achieve shared prosperity by 2030. ThisCountry Partnership Framework (CPF) for Mauritania lays outthe program for the period of FY18–FY23 and reflects lessonsfrom the Completion and Learning Review (CLR) of thepreceding FY14‐FY16 Country Partnership Strategy (CPS),which was discussed at the Board in September 2013. The CPFwill support the transition to a more inclusive, diversifiedand resilient model of growth, building on Mauritania’snatural resource wealth. First, it expands opportunities foreconomic diversification with interventions to raiseproductivity in traditional livestock, fisheries, andagricultural activities; improves household welfare throughaccess to basic services; and enables increasedparticipation in economic activity which will furthersustain growth. Second, interventions in education, healthand social protection will emphasize quality and access forthe most vulnerable population segments and employability ofyouth and women. Third, it supports improvements in economicgovernance to optimize revenue mobilization and publicspending, create opportunities for the private sector andstrengthen the transparency of the extractives sector. TheCPF emphasizes adaptation to the effects of climate changeand building environmental resilience, as well asmacroeconomic stability to ensure economic resilience.Finally, the CPF will feature a sharpened focus on privatesector development, seeking to foster a more level playingfield to accelerate the nascent transition from public toprivate sector‐led growth. This will be achieved througheven closer collaboration between IDA, IFC and MIGA inmaximizing finance for development.
