Mauritania

The first activities from the NCEA in Mauritania date back to 2006, but since 2022 the country programme has heated up! The NCEA is involved in the nascent Green Hydrogen sector; first by reviewing the TOR for the enormous AMAN project, and next by coaching the Ministries for Energy and Environment to develop an SEA for the whole sector. Finally, the NCEA has reviewed an SEA for the mining sector, which set out recommendations to manage the environmental and social impacts of this economically important sector.
