PROMOTING A MODEL FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS AND SOCIAL COHESION IN BASSIKOUNOU MOUGHATAA

USA STATE DEPARTMENT – 2018-2021

To enhance refugees’ self-sufficiency and improve their coexistence with host communities by promoting youth employability and local economic development through labour-intensive construction works.

The programme was launched in September 2018 to develop a new vocational training and insertion strategy for vulnerable populations in host and refugee communities promoting sustainable livelihoods and decent work in rural areas. Mauritania is a pilot country for the United Nations System (UNS) to strengthen the link between humanitarian and development activities. The project responds to the UNS strategy for Malian refugees, to the request of the Mauritanian government and the « Partnership Framework for Sustainable Development 2018-2022 » (CPDD). The project is carried out in close collaboration with UNHCR.
