  • Chapter 5 Formulation of Action Plan and Model for Gorgol Region
    The Development Study for the Project on Revitalization of Irrigated Agriculture in the Irrigated Zone of Foum Gleita in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania Main Report CHAPTER 5 FORMULATION OF ACTION PLAN AND MODEL FOR GORGOL REGION 5.1 Issues of the Foum Gleita Project Area 5.1.1 Analysis of the History of the Foum Gleita Project The important events in Foum Gleita are reviewed to define the background of problems. However, the operation for the entire area has started about 20 years ago in 1990, and hence SONADER no longer possessed the documents of this period, and neither did the farmers. The information was fragmentary, and often the time of the events was not well defined and the description given by the farmers was different from each other. These issues were complicated, and it was difficult to ascertain the veracity of the facts. Based on these conditions, the Fig. 5.1.1 was prepared, and the chronological table on the left shows important events related to Foum Gleita and the figure on the right shows an image between necessary inputs for irrigated agriculture and cropping areas as its results. Actually, the problems of Foum Gleita were attributed to the fact that the scope of management and maintenance for mid and long term was not sufficient, and the farmers and the government did not play their roles. Then the problems were accumulated, while both of them do nothing. The figure 5.1.1 shows the real situation of Foum Gleita (left in red) and the idealistic responsibility and results (right in blue).

Food security.........................2 Recommendations ................2 Conditions in the pastoral areas of central Mauritania (northern Brakna, northern Gorgol, central Trarza and Assaba) are beginning to deteriorate as a result of overgrazing and wind erosion. The pace of seasonal migration has picked up as herders and their animals search for better grazing lands and move closer to buyers in anticipation of the approaching Tabaski holiday (the Muslim Feast of Sacrifice). Supplies of sorghum and millet on grain markets remain limited, due largely to the shortfall in local production and the small volume of grain trade with Senegal. Transfers of Malian grain (from the 2004 and 2005 harvests) are picking up in border areas in the Southeast and in Nouakchott, keeping sorghum prices relatively stable, though prices on rural markets are trending upwards.

  • Poverty and the Struggle to Survive in the Fuuta Tooro Region Of
    What Development? Poverty and the Struggle to Survive in the Fuuta Tooro Region of Southern Mauritania Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christopher Hemmig, M.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures. The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Sabra Webber, Advisor Morgan Liu Katey Borland Copyright by Christopher T. Hemmig 2015 Abstract Like much of Subsaharan Africa, development has been an ever-present aspect to postcolonial life for the Halpulaar populations of the Fuuta Tooro region of southern Mauritania. With the collapse of locally historical modes of production by which the population formerly sustained itself, Fuuta communities recognize the need for change and adaptation to the different political, economic, social, and ecological circumstances in which they find themselves. Development has taken on a particular urgency as people look for effective strategies to adjust to new realities while maintaining their sense of cultural identity. Unfortunately, the initiatives, projects, and partnerships that have come to fruition through development have not been enough to bring improvements to the quality of life in the region. Fuuta communities find their capacity to develop hindered by three macro challenges: climate change, their marginalized status within the Mauritanian national community, and the region's unfavorable integration into the global economy by which the local markets act as backwaters that accumulate the detritus of global trade. Any headway that communities can make against any of these challenges tends to be swallowed up by the forces associated with the other challenges.

The affected population of over 21,000 people also lost some of the rice harvest from this disaster greatly compromising their food security. The regions, prone to drought, had already been facing food shortages due to 3 years of continuous drought. Roads and bridges were destroyed making communication and accessibility to the affected regions very difficult. The displaced families have been living in tents and some with neighbours or relatives and need urgent assistance, especially shelter, before the cold season comes in December. ACT member the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) Mauritania have programs in most of the affected regions and would therefore like to assist the most vulnerable of the people through construction of 275 houses. They propose to carry out this program by training local masons in the new techniques of building the type of houses proposed, which are very suitable to the desert environment and could withstand harsh weather. The total number of beneficiaries from this intervention will be 1,540 people and the project is estimated to cost a total of US dollar 205,425.

    FAMINE EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS NETWORK MAURITANIA A USAID project managed by Chemonics International Inc. TEL: (222) 25 39 18 FAX: (222) 25 39 18 E-mail: [email protected] MONTHLY REPORT FOR JANUARY 2002 RAPPORT MENSUEL DU MOIS DE JANVIER 2002 This report covers the period from December 20, 2001 to January 22, 2002 Summary Winter rains in Trarza, Brakna, and Gorgol Regions (Wilaya) are responsible for sizeable losses of livestock and crops and have claimed a number of lives. Rotting grasses and plants and losses of small stock animals are forcing herders to hasten the start of their seasonal treks, particularly in areas where conditions were already unstable (in Mederdra and northern R’Kiz Districts (Moughataa). The dispersion of animals escaping the untimely rains is expected to further heighten the sudden, erratic migratory movements reported during December in areas affected by brush fires but spared by the January rains. The only grasslands still in good condition are in Hodh El Chargui, Hodh El Gharbi, and eastern Assaba Regions. There are still no sightings of locusts. Despite ongoing harvests, paddy rice and sorghum prices are soaring. Prices in farming areas of the country such as Selibaby in Guidimakha (120 UM per kg of sorghum) and Bababé in Brakna (125 UM per kg) have reached highs that the country has not seen since the 1972 crisis. Ongoing harvests of irrigated crops and the consumption of flood-recession crops (crops grown on river banks and in bottomlands and "walo" crops grown along the Senegal River) have helped postpone any deterioration in the food security of households growing rainfed millet and watermelon crops.
