We are very pleased to announce that the SALN received an award at the Finance Your
Cities (FYC) Innovation Awards Ceremony! This event took place in Cairo, Egypt, as part of
the 12th World Urban Forum (WUF12).
SALN, operating under the supervision of the Ministry of Housing, Urban Planning, and
Territorial Development, was represented by our CEO, Karim Gabriel, along with
representatives from the government of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania.
This award recognizes the innovations implemented by SALN to finance climate-adapted
solutions. It underscores our commitment to making Nouakchott a more livable, sustainable,
and resilient city in the face of coastal erosion and flooding challenges.
We would like to thank all our partners, especially the Mauritanian State and Meridiam, for
their invaluable support and involvement, which have made this project an integrated model
of transformation and development for the benefit of the community.
