Title:
Mauritania - Emergency Assistance Project for Flood Victims in the Tagant and Valley Regions
Detail:
Mauritania is a country highly exposed to climatic risks with extreme variability marked by recurrent droughts and also with episodic alternation of intense rainfall leading to floods. The wet season is relatively short, from July to September, and is concentrated in certain seasons, such as this year's, with abundant rainfall. Climate change is severely impacting Mauritania and increasing its vulnerability. Rainfall is becoming erratic and unpredictable. After the droughts, the rains have become more important from year to year and in recent years, Mauritania has faced devastating floods (Tintane in 2008, Rosso in 2009, Nouakchott in 2014, Guidimakha 2019, etc.). This project primely contributes towards climate adaptation result. As such 100% of the total approval is attributed as climate finance, out of which 100% is adaptation finance.
