Project Justification 1a. Project Description While some significant restructuring of the project outcomes and outputs has been done during the PPG phase, the new outcomes and outputs all continue to contribute to the overall objective of the project, in a more effective fashion than initially presented. In particular, the water and land management aspects of the project were both included under Outcome 2 in the PIF, and have now been separated into two outcomes (2 and 3) to give more prominence to water management. Seedling production has been added as an output (3.1) to ensure that restoration activities can successfully go forward and access the necessary inputs locally. The following summarizes the changes made as a result of the consultations organised during the PPG phase, in terms of the project’s outcomes/outputs and co-financing activities: Output as written in the PIF Output revised or added during PPG Output 1.1: Climate change vulnerability assessment unde Output 1.1: Climate change impact and vulnerability

    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.

    Looters vs. Traitors: The Muqawama (“Resistance”) Narrative, and its Detractors, in Contemporary Mauritania Elemine Ould Mohamed Baba and Francisco Freire Abstract: Since 2012, when broadcasting licenses were granted to various private television and radio stations in Mauritania, the controversy around the Battle of Um Tounsi (and Mauritania’s colonial past more generally) has grown substantially. One of the results of this unprecedented level of media freedom has been the prop- agation of views defending the Mauritanian resistance (muqawama in Arabic) to French colonization. On the one hand, verbal and written accounts have emerged which paint certain groups and actors as French colonial power sympathizers. At the same time, various online publications have responded by seriously questioning the very existence of a structured resistance to colonization. This article, drawing pre- dominantly on local sources, highlights the importance of this controversy in study- ing the western Saharan region social model and its contemporary uses. African Studies Review, Volume 63, Number 2 (June 2020), pp. 258– 280 Elemine Ould Mohamed Baba is Professor of History and Sociolinguistics at the University of Nouakchott, Mauritania (Ph.D. University of Provence (Aix- Marseille I); Fulbright Scholar resident at Northwestern University 2012–2013), and a Senior Research Consultant at the CAPSAHARA project (ERC-2016- StG-716467). E-mail: [email protected] Francisco Freire is an Anthropologist (Ph.D. Universidade Nova de Lisboa 2009) at CRIA–NOVA FCSH (Lisbon, Portugal). He is the Principal Investigator of the European Research Council funded project CAPSAHARA: Critical Approaches to Politics, Social Activism and Islamic Militancy in the Western Saharan Region (ERC-2016-StG-716467).

Abstract This study reports for the first time on the distribution, host preference and infection rates of malaria vectors in Mauritania. It was conducted during an outbreak of Rift valley fever. Three anopheline species were reported. An. arabiensis was the predominant species observed in all regions whereas An. pharoensis and An. funestus were observed along the south border in the Senegal River valley where extensive irrigation schemes are present. The distribution limits of anopheline species were observed from the Senegal River basin in the Trarza region up to the south limit of the Saharan desert in Tidjikja city.
  • The Islamic Library in Sub-Saharan Africa

    The Islamic Library in Sub-Saharan Africa

    2 The Islamic Library in Sub-Saharan Africa Spoken only in the Arabian peninsula, Arabic was, in the pre-Islamic period, the language of the tribe of the Prophet Muhammad. With the expansion of Islam, it became in 2009 the language of 300 million Arabs, from Arabia to North Africa, and the liturgical language of a billion and a half Muslims from Indonesia to Senegal. In North Africa, which had been thoroughly Christianized4 before the advent of Islam, the local population adopted not only the Islamic religion but also the Arabic language and culture. So they are called Arabized Arabs (mustacriba), as opposed to Arabizing Arabs (cariba), who are the Arabophone populations of the Arabian peninsula. Judging by the number of colleges and other celebrated centres of learning established in Northern Africa (Qarawiyyin in Morocco, Zeytuna in Tunisia, Al- Azhar in Egypt), as well as their lively intellectual tradition during the medieval period, it has to be recognized that the Arabs and Muslims made a remarkable contribution to Islamic civilization and to medieval civilization in general. There was no field of knowledge that Muslim scholars had not investigated between the eighth and the fifteenth centuries. They contributed to philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, geography, medicine, pharmacy and chemistry (Kader 1996; Djebbar 2001). In 815, the library of Baghdad, capital of the Muslim eastern empire, contained about a million works. That of Cordoba in Spain comprised 400,000 manuscripts (Kader 1996:148) – more than all the works of the other Western European libraries combined. Saharan and sub-Saharan Africans participated in this Islamic civilization, not only as consumers but also as contributors.

    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.
