Description :
The IED task has been to define the set of public expenditures in the energy sector in Mauritania, for the years 2004, 2005 and 2006.

Description of the Actual Services Provided The purpose of the first step was to underline a strategic vision for the sector development :
- Analysing the national energy system, with an particular accent on the electricity social demand et on the consequent development of the electricity market,
- Bringing out the correlation with the poverty reduction strategic framework,
- Undertaking an examination of the present institutional framework,
- Analysing the public expenditures during the years 1997 up to 2002.
From this analysis, the consultant brought out an action plan :
- for the hydrocarbons sub sector,
- for the electricity sub sector,
- for the national energetic assessment.

Each one of the three action plan served as a basis of the elaboration of a budget-programme 2004-2006, after having stipulated inclusion in the budget rules and put in coherence investments proposed by the different actors.
The synthesis table makes appear a total investment need of 42 billions UM that calls several supervision measures and costs harnessing and that constitutes also a signal on the saving potential from the energy harnessing.
