This project improved the link connecting the outlying agricultural province of Inchiri with the capital city Nouakchott by rehabilitating the 254-km desert road to an all-weather surface. As a result, access to Algeria and Morocco has been facilitated, thereby enhancing the country’s ability to export ores and minerals.
