The Study Of Poverty Problems In Mauritania

Poverty is a redoubtable obstacle that confronts developing economies, Mauritania is no exception. Different strategies and policies were designed by developing countries to combat this issue. By the same token, Mauritania for the next coming 10 years has taken upon itself to put forth policies that will support the socio-economic development as we previously mentioned in this research. Mauritania has opted for a long-term strategic vision to combat poverty. An analysis of aspects of poverty shows the multifaceted dimensions of this phenomenon and its interwoven causes in Mauritania. Entirely integrating national expertise and taking into account lessons learned in other developing countries and their experience in rapidly reducingpoverty is the foundation of this strategy.The strategy that Mauritania has taken is contingent upon applying holistic policies to combat all determinants of poverty simultaneously. This could have a rapid and everlasting effect in limiting poverty.The long-term aim of the Mauritanian strategy is as follow:Reduce the number of Mauritanians living under the poverty line to less than 27% by the year 2010, which has almost been realized, and less than 17% by 2015.Achieving the recommendation that were agreed upon in the international summit concerning the social development before 2015.Reducing regional and social discrepancies.The Mauritanian strategy is built on four major pillars that support one another and converge to achieve the ultimately aim of reducing poverty. The four pillars are:1- Accelerating growth and development and the retaining stability of the overall economy2- Anchoring growth in the economic sphere of the poor.3- Nurturing human resource and expanding basic services4- Enhancing governance and supporting state capacity.
