Concerted local initiative for the sustainable development of oases in Mauritania (PICODEV)

The management of natural resources in the oases of Atar and Tawaz involves a design and implementation approach that integrates local stakeholders at all stages of the process. This participatory approach aims to enable local actors to play a key role in the development of a sustainable and coherent natural resource management strategy. It implies strong accountability of local actors, as well as territorial coherence of actions and their ownership by these actors. To ensure the sustainability of the action, it is proposed to establish a communal consultation framework at local level to influence the implementation of sustainable development policies in the Atar and Tawaz oases.
