Launch of the “Taamir – Cities of Solidarity” Program by the General Delegate in Riyadh District

A Strategic Initiative to Improve Living Conditions

The General Delegate for National Solidarity and the Fight Against Exclusion, known as “Taazour,” officially launched the “Taamir – Cities of Solidarity” program in the Riyadh district of Nouakchott. This ambitious initiative aims to enhance the living conditions of vulnerable populations by providing essential infrastructure and services in underprivileged neighborhoods. The program reflects the government’s commitment to social equity and sustainable urban development.

The launch ceremony was attended by several high-ranking officials, including the Wali (Governor) of Nouakchott South, the Mayor of Riyadh, and representatives from various government agencies and civil society organizations. The event marked the beginning of a comprehensive plan to transform marginalized areas into livable, dignified urban spaces.

Key Components of the “Taamir – Cities of Solidarity” Program

The “Taamir” program is designed to address multiple dimensions of urban poverty and exclusion. It includes a wide range of interventions aimed at improving infrastructure, access to basic services, and economic opportunities. The program will be implemented in phases, starting with the most vulnerable neighborhoods in the Riyadh district.

• Construction and rehabilitation of roads and drainage systems to improve mobility and reduce flooding risks.
• Provision of clean drinking water and sanitation facilities to enhance public health.
• Development of educational and health infrastructure to ensure access to essential services.
• Support for income-generating activities and vocational training to empower local residents economically.

These efforts are part of a broader national strategy to combat exclusion and promote inclusive development, aligning with the goals of the “Taazour” agency under the leadership of President Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani.

Community Engagement and Long-Term Vision

A key feature of the “Taamir – Cities of Solidarity” program is its participatory approach. Local communities are actively involved in the planning and implementation phases to ensure that the interventions meet their actual needs. This inclusive methodology not only fosters a sense of ownership among residents but also enhances the sustainability of the projects.

The General Delegate emphasized that the program is not a one-time intervention but part of a long-term vision to build resilient and inclusive cities across Mauritania. By focusing on the most disadvantaged areas, the initiative seeks to bridge social and economic gaps and promote national cohesion.

Conclusion: A Step Toward Inclusive Urban Development

The launch of the “Taamir – Cities of Solidarity” program in Riyadh district marks a significant milestone in Mauritania’s efforts to combat urban poverty and social exclusion. Through targeted infrastructure development, improved access to services, and community empowerment, the initiative aims to transform vulnerable neighborhoods into thriving urban communities. As the program unfolds, it is expected to serve as a model for similar interventions across the country, reinforcing the government’s commitment to inclusive and sustainable development.
