Despite the delay in fielding a technical advisory team, the Vegetable Production project has been eval­ uated as being on target in its progress toward achieving the proposed purpose and outputs, with the exception of the parti­ cipant training and institutionalization aspect. Overall pros­ pects for achieving the project purpose and contributing to the sector goal are regarded as good~ In negotiating the final contract, only two year's funding for the three-year scope of work was provided. Inflation and underestimation of the original T.A. costs were factors in this situation. It is recommended that the project be extended by 19 months in order to achieve the full purpose of the project as envis­ ioned in the PP. This will require provision of additional funds to the contract to fully finance the three-year scope of service, plus additional advisory services not originally envisioned. This change will require a revision of the PP, submission of the PP to AID/W for approval, and amending the PIO/T and contract. ­ Further information on the relationship of project design to pro­ ject execution is contained in section B of the evaluation syn­ thesis which follows. 14. Evaluation Methodology. This evaluation was conducted to measure the progress of project activities against stated pur­ pose and outputs in the PP and to make appropriate recommenda­ tions on each aspect of implementation procedures. Data for the evaluation was collected from field visits to project sites . in the three regions of the country affected by the project. Additional information was obtained from documents and reports supplied by the contractor, USAID and the GIRM. The study design was based on PPC/E/PES guidelines for project evaluation and followed the outline of the evaluation synthesis which is attached. Key individuals contacted and a list of project sites visited are listed in Annex A. 15. External Factors. No major changes have occurred in the project setting since the initia~ project design was approved. Assumptions made at the time of project design were determined to still be valid. 16. Inputs. As originally designed, the project requires the financing of the third year of technical services to achieve its designed purpose. Additional tech services not envisioned in the original design are required as well, so that the full benefits of the project as designed may be realized. These inputs include the services of an additional agronomist/ horticulturalist (12 months - possibly to be supplied by Peace Corps), and a water management specialist (12 months). -3- Related increases in the quantity of commodities available to the project will also be required (see Section D of the Evaluation Synthesis). 17. Outputs. Four major outputs were designed: (1) data collection to test the feasibility of vegetable production, (2) establishment of pilot demonstration and field trial areas to carry out agronomic research, (3) analysis of the nutritional impact of proj ect interventions and the training of loc:~l popu­ lations in vegetable preparation, and (4) training of GI~~ personnel in vegetable production technologies. Assessment indicates that satisfactory progress is being made in the pro­ duction of all outputs with the exception of the training com­ ponent. Despite the noted progress, analysis also indicates that the objective of training 3,000 families in food preparation techniques is overly ambitions, given the allotted technical assistance. It is recommended that this output be scaled down to 1,500 families. 18. Puryose. "To determine the feasibility of expanded vegetable product~on among sedentary rural groups in the 3rd, 5th and 6th regions of Mauritania through an applied research and vegetable crop demonstration program". EOPS conditions include: (1) a body of data collected and analyzed concerning vegetable production in Mauritania, (2) 3,000 farmers instructed in improved production, seed preservation and marketing methods, (3) 3,000 families trained in optimum food preparation techniques. The development of research methodologies. is regarded as well advanced. These methodologies are now being utlized to begin the process of collecting the required agronomic, nutritional and economic data. At least 600 farm families are participating di­ rectly in vegetable garden demonstration activities, although a considerably fewer number, between 200 and 300, have been involved in food preparation demonstrations. Informal on-the-job training has taken place for some nine host country participants, but little progress has been made in the preparation of formal trai­ ning programs for the participants. The EOPS conditions are still regarded as good indicators of the status which the proj ec." will achieve at its completion (with the exception of the pre­ viously discussed food preparation demonstration) provided that a third year of contract technical assistance is supplied to th2 project. 19. Goal. "To promote the development and welfare of the rura}" population in Mauritania by increasing small farmer income, fooe productivity and contributing to family food security." Proper analysis of progress toward this goal will require further data collection in the field, which is now in progress. -4- 20. Beneficiaries. It is expected that with a four-year technical assistance effort, this project is capable of reaching 3,000 small farm families who may benefit from improved nutrition, a reduction in underemploYment and an increase in income. Since this project is research oriented, these potential benefits remain hypothetical and will be verified by analyzing data col­ lected over the life of the project by the contract technical assistance team and associated Peace Corps Volunteers. 21. Unplanned Effects. Project activities have had the effect of stimulating production of vegetables to a greater degree than had been anticipated. In many areas, demonstration plots have promoted the development of satellite garden areas not directly under the tutelage of the project. This outcome is regarded as nutritionally and economically beneficial to the local populatior­ involved. However, the long-term viability of this production activity has not yet been thoroughly analyzed. 22. Lessons Learned. The evidence collected for this evaluation indicates that the project is moving toward the achievement of its designed purpose. Howeyer, the inability to synchronize the 1 arrival of key inputs (Peace Corps Volunteers, technical assista~ce i team and commodities) created a situation which ultimately incre­ ased costs and led to misunderstandings between various groups i::..·­ 1 volved in project implementation. Most of the delay was beyond 1 the direct control of project management (discussion with the 1 host country government regarding the rights and privileges of Americans working in Mauritania retarded contract execution for many months). It is apparent, however, that the ultimate interests of the project would have been served by attempting to reschedule the entire implementation effort until all parties were capable of arriving simultaneously in Mauritania. This situation is discussed further in Section B of the evaluation synthesis. ---~..-._--- ~_.- -------_._-~------ -5- EVALUATION SYNTHESIS A. ASSESSMENT OF CHANGES IN PROJECT SETTING 1. Economic Situation and Governmental Priorities During the years 1970-1978, encompassing the period of project design in 1976, the Mauritanian economy was stagnant, having experienced less than 2% real growth since 1970.

  • Evaluation and Assessment of Meteorological Drought by Different Methods in Trarza Region, Mauritania
    Water Resour Manage (2017) 31:825–845 DOI 10.1007/s11269-016-1510-8 Evaluation and Assessment of Meteorological Drought by Different Methods in Trarza Region, Mauritania Ely Yacoub1 & Gokmen Tayfur1 Received: 6 June 2016 /Accepted: 20 September 2016 / Published online: 10 October 2016 # Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2016 Abstract Drought Indexes (DIs) are commonly used for assessing the effect of drought such as the duration and severity. In this study, long term precipitation records (monthly recorded for 44 years) in three stations (Boutilimit (station 1), Nouakchott (station 2), and Rosso (station 3)) are employed to investigate the drought characteristics in Trarza region in Mauritania. Six DI methods, namely normal Standardized Precipitation Index (normal-SPI), log normal Standardized Precipitation Index (log-SPI), Standardized Precipitation Index using Gamma distribution (Gamma-SPI), Percent of Normal (PN), the China-Z index (CZI), and Deciles are used for this purpose. The DI methods are based on 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12 month time periods. The results showed that DIs produce almost the same results for the Trarza region. The droughts are detected in the seventies and eighties more than the 1990s. Twelve drought years might be experienced in station 2 and six in stations 1 and 3 in every 44 years, according to reoccurrence probability of the gamma-SPI and log-SPI results. Stations 1 and 3 might experience fewer drought years than station 2, which is located right on the coast. In station 1, which is located inland, when the annual rainfall is less than 123 mm, it is likely that severe drought would occur.

  • Mauritania MODERATE ADVANCEMENT
    Mauritania MODERATE ADVANCEMENT In 2015, Mauritania made a moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The Government amended the Anti-Slavery Law to increase the penalties for slavery offenses and criminalize other slavery-like practices, including debt bondage. The Government also adopted the National Action Plan to Eliminate Child Labor, which aims to strengthen child labor laws and mobilize funds for social programs to withdraw children from child labor. In addition, the Government funded and participated in multiple programs that include the goal of eliminating or preventing child labor, including its worst forms. However, children in Mauritania are engaged in child labor, including in herding cattle and goats, and in the worst forms of child labor, including in indentured and hereditary slavery. Mauritania’s legal framework does not prohibit hazardous occupations and activities in all relevant child labor sectors, including agriculture; it also does not prohibit children from being used, procured, or offered for the production and trafficking of drugs. Limited resources for the systematic enforcement of child labor laws impede government efforts to protect children from the worst forms of child labor. Additionally, the Government continued to imprison anti-slavery protestors. I. PREVALENCE AND SECTORAL DISTRIBUTION OF CHILD LABOR Children in Mauritania are engaged in child labor, including in agriculture and particularly in herding cattle and goats.(1-6) Children are also engaged in the worst forms of child labor, including in indentured and hereditary slavery.(5-11) Table 1 provides key indicators on children’s work and education in Mauritania.

  • Mauritania 2020 OSAC Crime & Safety Report
    Mauritania 2020 OSAC Crime & Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Nouakchott. OSAC encourages travelers to use this report to gain baseline knowledge of security conditions in Mauritania. For more in-depth information, review OSAC’s Mauritania country page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Mauritania at Level 2, indicating travelers should exercise increased caution in Mauritania due to crime and terrorism. Do not travel to areas designated as off limits by the Mauritanian military due to crime and terrorism. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. Overall Crime and Safety Situation Crime Threats The U.S. Department of State has assessed Nouakchott as being a CRITICAL-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. The Mauritanian government reports an increase in violent (e.g. murder, assault, battery, robbery, occupied burglary, kidnapping, carjacking) and non-violent (e.g. theft, vehicle burglary, vandalism, unoccupied burglary) crimes since 2015, all of which predominately affects Mauritanians; criminals tend to not target Westerners specifically, although U.S. nationals and other western expatriates have been the victim of crime in Nouakchott in recent years, including robbery and sexual assault. Criminal gangs are active in the main cities. The Mauritanian government has taken small measures to mitigate crime.

  • FAO Desert Locust Bulletin 192 (English)
    page 1 / 7 FAO EMERGENCY CENTRE FOR LOCUST OPERATIONS DESERT LOCUST BULLETIN No. 192 GENERAL SITUATION DURING AUGUST 1994 FORECAST UNTIL MID-OCTOBER 1994 No significant Desert Locust populations have been reported during August and the overall situation whilst still requiring vigilance, appears calm, with no major chance to develop during the forecast period. In West Africa, only scattered adults and hoppers were reported limited primarily to southern Mauritania. This would indicate that swarms from northern Mauritania dispersed earlier in the year before the onset of the rainy season and, as a result, breeding in the south was limited. No other significant locust activity has been reported from Mali, Niger and Chad. In South- West Asia, a few patches of hoppers have been treated in Rajasthan over a small area, and low density adults persisting in several locations of the summer breeding areas of India and Pakistan are likely to continue to breed; however, no major developments are expected during the forecast period. A few mature adults have been reported in the extreme south-eastern desert of Egypt and some isolated adults were present on the northern coastal plains of Somalia in late July. No locusts were reported from Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen or Oman. Conditions were reported as dry in Algeria and no locust activity was reported; a similar situation is expected to prevail in Morocco. Although the overall situation does not appear to be critical and may decline in the next few months, FAO recommends continued monitoring in the summer breeding areas. The FAO Desert Locust Bulletin is issued monthly, supplemented by Updates during periods of increased Desert Locust activity, and is distributed by fax, telex, e-mail, FAO pouch and airmail by the Emergency Centre for Locust Operations, AGP Division, FAO, 00100 Rome, Italy.
