Following its adoption by the 13th Islamic Summit Conference held at Istanbul (Republic of Turkey) on 14-15 April 2016, the OIC-2025 is now in the critical phase of implementation. For this purpose, Implementation Plan 2016-2025 has been developed which elaborates 107 goals, identified under 18 priority areas into programmes and activities while delineating implementing partners and the suggested timelines. The implementation status of these programmes and activities is reviewed in the progress reports submitted to the Council of Foreign Ministers in its annual sessions. The first Progress Report 2016-17 was submitted to the 45th session of the Council of Foreign Ministers (Dhaka, 5-6 May 2018). 2. The report in hand is the second in the series and presents a detailed account of the implementation status of various programmes and activities in the context of OIC-2025 including those to be undertaken towards the end of the current year. These programmes and activities are intended to contribute towards the realization of the goals and objectives of the Programme of Action. All these activities, therefore, are means to an end, not an end in themselves, neither a one- time event. Many of these activities may continue over the years or undergo change while addressing different dimensions of the given goals. Vision and Framework 3.

  • State of Play of EU-Mauritania Relations
    DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS State of play of EU-Mauritania relations ABSTRACT Mauritania, an important ally of the EU in the fight against terrorism in the Sahel, faces several inter-related development challenges: ensuring an efficient use of the revenue derived from natural resources, economic diversification and improved governance. The severity of these development challenges is increased by difficult political relations between the three main ethnic groups in the country, the dominant group being the Arab-Berber Bidhan. They constitute less than one-third of the country’s population, but dominate economically and politically. The Haratin, the largest group in the country, is made up of descendants of black Africans enslaved by the Bidhan (freed or still enslaved). The third group in the country is the West Africans or Black Mauritanians. Mauritania’s post- independence history is marked by repeated attempts by this group to assert its non-Arab identity and claim for a more equitable share of political and economic power. The tension that these divisions create is a problem in itself, but they can also be appropriated by violent Islamist insurgencies in the region. The urgency of this challenge is further complicated by the likelihood of increased climate change effects that the country is currently not adequately prepared for. This study therefore discusses the main political, economic and development challenges that contemporary Mauritania is faced with, illustrating how these challenges can only be properly grasped with consideration to their historical evolution. Based on this, the study investigates the current basis for EU-Mauritania relations and suggests a select number of policy areas for consideration, as this relationship continues to evolve around issues of mutual concern such as security and development.
