This ESW focuses on road, air, and maritime transport, and analyzes strategic, and cross-cutting issues important to the sector as a whole. Recommendations include: corrections to the imbalance between investment and maintenance; improvement of the road maintenance financing mechanism; pursuit of a road investment program; strengthening the road management system; updating regulations to ensure effective liberalization of transport services; revision of the fiscal policy for the sector; improvement of the balance between supply and demand; and, identifying a mechanism for supporting the trucking industry. 2013-09-05T21:20:54Z 2013-09-05T21:20:54Z 2004-09-29 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/09/5172878/mauritania-transport-sector-overview http://hdl.handle.net/10986/15689 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Infrastructure Study Economic & Sector Work Africa Mauritania
