Notre 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.
