Abstract
This report analyzes the experience
of Mauritania with the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS)
process. The focus of the report is on evaluating the
performance of the World Bank in supporting the PRSP
initiative, not on appraising the authorities policies. The
report covers the formulation and implementation of the PRSP
and encompasses the two PRSP progress reports which have
been completed since the initiative was launched in
Mauritania. The report is structured as follows: section B
describes the country context including, political and
economic background, the poverty profile, and key
constraints for development. Section C addresses the PRS
Process including preparation of the document and the
consistency of the process with the underlying principles of
the initiative. Section D assesses the World Bank s support
to the process. Finally, section E summarizes the main
points of the assessment and attempts to draw lessons of
more general applicability.
