Politiques de lutte contre la pauvreté en Mauritanie

Poverty reduction is today one of the major challenges of this end of the century.mauritania has undertaken for several years to conduct an active policy of poverty reduction. tothis end, a national strategy to combat poverty was adopted in 1994 and a specific program tocombat poverty., the results show a relative robustness as for the classification of the socialstates in terms of poverty of three principal groups. by order descending of poverty, the latterare: the rural sector of the river and the south & south-east, urban zones of the river and thesouth & south-east, as well as the rural center-north; nouakchott and cities of center-north.this conclusion was obtained with a poverty line of 40 402 ouguiyas per capita and per annum— determined by the approach of the cost of the basic needs —, and is independent of the takinginto account of a scale factor of the households different from the unit. in addition, theregression of rural and urban poverty in mauritania between 1990 and 2015 shows that, foradditive measurements, it is stronger in relative terms in the urban sector, compared to the ruralsector, whereas the reverse prevails in absolute terms. moreover, the regional structure ofpoverty is only changed in rural sector, the area of the river being impoverished, relative at theother rural zones. on the other hand, the relative importance of poverty in the secondary cities isalways highest compared to nouakchott. such results would tend to show the absence ofantagonism between the policies of adjustment and the reduction of poverty and, at the sametime, the advisability of focusing the actions in direction of the rural sector in order to fight thelatter most effectively
