The access of Mauritania, to the information society constitutes a
priority, as the communication and information technologies are an
essential mean to economic growth. In the last years Mauritania has
taken some measures to reinforce this development : liberalization of
telecommunication sector; creation of a Regulation Authority and
promotion of an agency for universal access.
Mauritania is also pleased to participate in the "African Forum of
information society and Local Communities". The ICTs represent
opportunities to fight ignorance and under-development for developing
countries. However this goals are only reachable with international
solidarity.
