This report on Mauritania is part of a series of country level analyses prepared by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Resilience Analysis and Policies (RAP) Team. The series aims at providing programming and policy guidance to policy makers, practitioners, UN agencies, NGO and other stakeholders by identifying the key factors that contribute to the resilience of households in food insecure countries and regions.
The policy implications presented in this publication are the following:
- programmes for developing infrastructure for basic services and productive services should prioritize rural households;
- farmers and pastorals households should be considered for projects aimed at developing the agriculture and livestock sectors;
- income-generating and diversification activities for female-headed households should be encouraged.
