It reassesses binding constraints to growth, inclusion, and sustainability, highlighting fragility from security deterioration, climate shocks, and persistent domestic grievances. The analysis reviews the economic model’s vulnerabilities, progress under SCAPP to 2030, and the need for resilient, diversified transformation aligned with inclusive growth priorities.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nV. Streamlined Systematic Country Diagnostic  \nI. Introduction  \n1. This report updates the previous Mauritania Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) completed in May 2017. It draws on recent analytical studies, including the Growth and Job Diagnostic (2024), Poverty Assessment (2022), Public Expenditure Review (2021), Human Capital Review (2024), the Sahel Country Climate and Development Report (2022), the Risk and Resilience Assessment (2023) and a series of sector policy notes prepared for the Mauritania government (2024) . The current SCD reassesses the binding constraints to growth, inclusion and sustainability identified in the 2017 SCD, identify emerging constraints and proposes development priorities that address these constraints.  \n2. Mauritania is a vast and sparsely populated country, uniquely characterized by its diverse geography and rich resource endowments. Spanning over 1 million square kilometers, it is predominantly arid, with only 0.5% of its land being arable. The country straddles both North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, reflecting a blend of cultural influences. Mauritania's population, estimated at around 4.9 million according to the 2023 population census, is concentrated in urban areas, particularly in the capital city, Nouakchott, which alone houses 29.4% of the population. The density of 3.9 inhabitants per square kilometer makes it the fourth least densely populated country in the whole of Africa. The nation is endowed with significant natural resources, including iron ore, gold, copper, and natural gas, which have historically driven its economic growth. Nomadic livestock raising dominates rural life, with productive agriculture mostly concentrated along the Senegal River on the southern border. The fishing sector (3 percent of GDP and 22 percent of exports) is a critical component of the country’s economy, leveraging its rich marine resources.  \n3. Mauritania appears as “an oasis of stability” in a much-troubled Sahelian space but remains vulnerable to a deteriorating security in the region, climate shocks as well as persistent domestic grievances. Mauritania enjoys a relative political stability illustrated by a democratic transition between two elected presidents in 2019, and an absence of violent conflict on its territory. This offers a firm foundation for the consolidation of progress toward a more diversified and inclusive growth. Yet, recent political, economic and social progress are challenged by a lack of tangible transformations on broadbased power and resource sharing, which, compounded by unresolved legacies, continue to drive entrenched inequalities, perceptions of exclusion, and grievances (World Bank, 2023) . Those structural inequalities stem from a highly stratified social order, with strong disparities within each group, which rests on a rigid division of socioeconomic roles and functions, and has kept disenfranchised populations from accessing wider opportunities, services, assets, including land, and limits their voice and agency. The above-mentioned local dynamics have the potential to intersect with regional ones, given the expansion of the conflict in the Central Sahel and the westward expansion of armed groups towards Kayes in Mali. Also, Mauritania’s vast territory and poor governance hamper the state’s ability to deliver equitable basic services, deepening the urban-rural divide, resulting in high poverty incidence in hard-to-reach areas such as the Triangle of Hope. Mauritania is highly vulnerable to climate change, with recurrent droughts and floods impacting GDP and exacerbating existing challenges. Global conflicts and the induced commodity price fluctuations further destabilize the economy while security crisis in the Sahel region, and its various impacts, including in terms of refugees’ influx, puts strain on government resources and threatens social cohesion.  \n4.
