Evidence snapshot for Nouakchott
WARCIP built fiber-optic backbone infrastructure that extended from Nouakchott to regional towns across Mauritania between 2013 and 2022, as part of a US$30 million IDA credit that also included a national data centre in the capital. The project lifted broadband access from a 2% baseline to 71% and cut wholesale internet prices from roughly US$7,000 per month to about US$54.70, with the state operator generating US$2.13 million in backbone transit revenue by early 2022. However, the practices in the CONTEXT provide no Mauritania-specific outcome data on Nouakchott itself—only national-level results and mention that the capital was part of a Nouakchott loop within the broader backbone network.
