Our Goals
Our program will implement comprehensive solutions for the protection and enhancement of Nouakchott’s coastline, which revolve around clear objectives:
1. Protect the city’s coastline from the risks of marine submersion and erosion, and more generally against the impacts of global warming;
2. Limit urban sprawl and support the urban development of the city in an environmentally respectful manner and for the benefit of the entire city population, especially the most vulnerable populations;
3. Affirm the city’s connection to the coastal nature while ensuring safety against climate risks;
4. Promote the city’s economic influence and boost employment through the support of existing activities and the development of new productive, commercial, and leisure activities along the coastline.
Our approach is designed to be in harmony with the strategic orientations of the public authorities in terms of socio-economic development, coastal preservation, and urban planning. We will contribute to Mauritania’s efforts in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 13 (combatting climate change), 9 (building resilient infrastructure), 11 (sustainable cities and communities), and 8 (access to decent jobs).
Our Vision
The Company will deploy a program of developments and infrastructure that will protect the city of Nouakchott from the risks of submersion and erosion. This program will also provide solutions for flood-prone low-lying areas and will enhance the attractiveness of the coastline for the entire population.
The program has been designed and will be implemented to meet the strategic orientations of the public authorities in terms of socio-economic development, coastal preservation, and urban planning.
It innovates by mobilizing natural coastal protection solutions and by linking climate adaptation financing to the economic value created or preserved by the project. The proposed developments will take into account the needs of the most vulnerable populations, help preserve existing activities, and enable the development of new economic opportunities that create jobs.
The program is designed to be resilient to the impacts of climate change or other external factors, using environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions as much as possible.
