The objective of this contract is to provide specialised technical support in the field of hospital constructions in ENABEL’s various health sector projects using our expertise.
Beyond the conventional architecture and engineering aspects inherent to the construction of all buildings, hospitals require specific expertise related to: the definition of needs and spatial planning, taking account of the health map; the organisation of the different departments in a hospital (maternity, paediatrics, operating theatre, emergency, etc.), and the integration of specific biomedical equipment taking account of their characteristics and specific needs.

The objective of this capitalisation process was to learn from the programme of construction/rehabilitation of health structures, medical equipment supply and maintenance of constructed or rehabilitated sites through the Project of Support for Health Supply and Demand (PAODES) and the Project of Support on Health Governance (PAGOSAN), to identify successes and failures and to derive recommendations for future action.

This assignment for the diagnosis of health infrastructures was part of the implementation of the Health Sector Support Programme (PASS) in Mauritania financed by the European Union under the 11th EDF. The main objective of the mission was to draw up an inventory of the Ministry of Health’s public health facility priorities in the wilayas of Brakhna and Trarza and in the city of Nouakchott, and to determine the needs in terms of rehabilitation, extension or complete construction taking account of electrification (solar, etc.) and water requirements, and the integration of gender- and environment-related components.
The secondary objective was to provide support on the updating, improvement and standardisation of the building standards of basic health facilities to Mauritania’s Ministry of Health.

The services involve assistance to Water Users' Associations (WUA) and the development of agricultural areas under the PRIASO project (South-West Region Agricultural Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project). Four sites are concerned, the region's main areas of irrigated agriculture. PRIASO aims for the development (rehabilitation or construction) of main channels, dikes, pathways, boreholes, storage warehouses and rural markets. Under the 'capacity building and agricultural development component', this assistance will ensure i) support for irrigation management, ii) support for awareness-raising and the oversight of WUAs, iii) their restructuring by building the social and organisational capacity of the associations and their federation, iv) the technical capacity building of the actors developing these areas, and v) the development and implementation of a project communication and visibility plan.

The project objectives are to (i) improve provincial agricultural advisory services through the capacity strengthening of the provincial rural extension services (SPERs), of the district economic activity services (SDAEs) and of the agricultural extension officers in the districts, (ii) strengthen the capacity of 480 producers’ groups and support them to legalise producers' associations, (iii) train and support producers' organisations to prepare business plans and to improve commercial agriculture.
