Deadline for submission of offers: April 9, 2024
1. PROMOTER OF THE INTERVENTION:
Caritas Mauritania has been managing human promotion and development projects in the country for over forty years. It has extensive experience in implementing rural development projects. Caritas' actions are based on the identification of groups through a close relationship, support for strengthening their analytical capacities, and the support of their projects derived from these analyses, in their diversity.
Among its partners, Caritas Mauritania maintains a close relationship with Caritas Spain. This partnership is expressed through:
Thus, since 2012, Caritas Mauritania, with the support of Caritas Spain, has been implementing an integrated rural development project in the Moughataa of Monguel. Another project carried out in the southern Brakna region, funded by the EU until 2012, was evaluated very positively with good results obtained in setting up infrastructures (small irrigated perimeters, rural animation, structuring of producers, seeking synergy with other development actors including local authorities and technical services). An integrated development project with village communities was also implemented from 2008 to 2010 in the Moughataa of Maghta-Lahjar, with public funds from the Canaries.
In 2014, Caritas Mauritania designed a new community development project in the Moughataa of M'Bout, in the north of Gorgol. It partnered with Caritas Spain for its design and implementation. Both entities submitted it for the examination of the Spanish Cooperation, AECID, through the "Convenio" (Agreement) project call. The term "Convenio" is used throughout the document.
