Abstract
Mauritania is highly exposed to
recurrent and extreme droughts resulting in food security
crises. The Government of Mauritania, with support from the
World Bank, has introduced a new institutional and
operational framework for the coordination and funding of
responses to food security crises in the country.
Established as part of this reform, as the financial
backbone of this framework, The National Fund for Food and
Nutrition Crisis Response (FNRCAN) aligns and optimizes the
financing for responses to food security crises. The key
outcomes of FNRCAN will be to enhance ex-ante financial
planning for a more efficient and transparent use of
resources; optimize the use of public resources through a
comprehensive risk financing strategy; and secure the
national budget from the fiscal impacts of climate-related
shocks and contribute to the sustainability of public finances.
