Indeed, 90 percent of goods are transported by road, as so do 80 percent of passengers. Thirty five percent of Mauritania’s population lives in Nouakchott. Connectivity within the city is challenging leaving many away from economic opportunities. In this context, the Government of Mauritania and the World Bank held exchanges and discussions over the last ten months towards the identification and analysis of challenges and opportunities in transport connectivity focusing largely on road maintenance and urban mobility in Nouakchott.
