The development objective of the Nouadhibou Eco-Seafood Cluster Project for Mauritania is to support the development of a seafood cluster in Nouadhibou that promotes sustainable management of fisheries and generates value for the communities. The project comprises of two components. The first component, developing a sustainable seafood cluster in Nouadhibou will build the capacity of Nouadhibou Free Zone Authority (ANZF) and of stakeholders to plan, design, reorganize, and promote the cluster so that the objective of the sustainable management of fisheries resources is well integrated in the development of competitive seafood value chains that originate in Nouadhibou. It consists of two sub-components: (i) promoting public-private dialogue (PPD) in order to develop a vision for a sustainable seafood cluster in Nouadhibou and accelerate nationwide reforms of structures impeding its development; and (ii) generating responsible investments in the Nouadhibou seafood cluster. The second component, increasing the value of seafood products produced and marketed in the seafood cluster with the participation of local actors aims at increasing the value of seafood products produced and marketed in the seafood cluster and increasing the participation of the local population in the cluster’s activities. It consists of two sub-components: (i) improving the handling of landed catch and promoting the export of fresh fish at the Nouadhibou seafood cluster; and (ii) building local suppliers’ and vulnerable groups’ capacities to capture greater benefits from productive and inclusive seafood value chains.
