The problems
of Oasis Développment in Mauritania
|
|
Draught
has caused the
disappearance of nearly 80 % of the palmtrees in 30 years in some oases (on
the picture, Chinguetty oasis which was an amazonian forest of palmtrees in
1970 nothing which is remaining now except some traces of dry palmtree
trunks on moving sandsecs
|
|
|
The
Bayoud
is
among our palmtrees. This disea-se has already destroyed 14 millions of
palmtrees in Morocco and Algeria and threatens to destroy the 2 millions of
Mauri-tania palmtrees. Other destroyers, the while cochenille, the acariosis
are present. |
|
|
Ignorance
of cultivation techniques is the cause of low incomes of Mauritania palm
tree of 15kg cited by WFO instead of 160 kg in other ereas : on the picture
the skull on the palm tree trunk (Tongued oasian) is sometimes used
desperately against the evil eye... |
|
|
Poverty of the populations
of oasies, the luck of
funds of skills and of basic infrustructure make the oasian ecosystem
unstable and binds the durable developpement of Mauritanian oases. There are
no leading oases which spread out production systems.. |
|
|
The solution: Summit Developpment
Project of Oases in Maden El-Ervan (SPODME) à travers le financement des 4
dimensions suivantes: |
|
Environnement: 14
Projects de of l’environnement
protection
which
aim at the rebirth of the oasian vegetal, bush and pastoral cover. The
techniques of water harvest should be handled and some infrastructure buit
for desenclavement. (Picture of irrigation system through asperging handled
with strong water saving). Irrigation through submersion in sandy land
provoques a loss of 80% of water resource of the oases. |
|
| Palmtrees:
5 projects de développement : Pabo-ratories at national level which try by
in vitro culture to multiply qual-ity palmtrees, resisting to the Bayoud (picture
of the laboratory part of Angers LRPV laboratory in France) the transfer of
this technology to the South has been success-fully realised by the EEC in
the neighbouring countries except ours. Each year,some laborato-ries produce
one million of palm trees. |
|
| Education : 10
développement projects human resources among which the educational complex
virtual high education in languages and computer sci-ence (pictures of
secondary school pupils of Maden in their need of assistance in their en-gaged
program of fight against ignorance). Only a new genera-tion of youths from
these oases well trained benefiting intensive, ongoing and free of charge
classes with the help of New Techniques of Information and Communication
will be able to eradicate ignorance. All the neighbouring oases benefit from
this project. |
|
| Poverty :
32 projects for fight-ing against poverty, which aim at spreading new
techniques and technologies of rational exploit-ing of (palmtrees) through
the generalisation of micro-projects which produce revenues to women and
children.. (Picture of women agriculture exploitants in need of assistance
in fighting against poverty). Women saving banks for credit for housing and
health are planned. All the neighbouring oases are benefit-ing from such
projects. |

|
The Oasis of Maden lies in
beauty between the mountains of Emert and the large dunes of Leklewa in
Adrar. This Wilaya holds 985 000 palmtrees among the 2 000 000 of
Mauritania. Maden is 100 km away South of Atar passing by Terjit Oases or
Medina El Ousta. |
|
|
Maden El Ervan holds important
hydric resources annually renewed by its bridge built in 1970 by defunt
Saint Ould Sidina, Spiritual leader of the Community : the natural
conditions and edaphic of economy viability and technical of the SDSPOM are
exclusively gathered in Maden El Ervan Oasis |
|
|
The Oasis has got a well
organized and laborious people who have succeeded in fighting against the
draught since 1970 by establishing themselves in that location to protect
their human civilisation against the threatened desert. These people need
development partners to finance the summit project of Oasian Developpment |
|
|
Maden El Ervan has as a
specificity that of hence having among its population, a whole generation of
young students and PHD holders in agronomy, hydrology, biology, economy,
computer science and health. Who are targets and promoters as well of this
scientific developpment project of oases and all former students of the High
School “Brains of Oases” created in 1994 in an answer to The President Call
addressed to the graduated offers free of charge intensive and continuous
courses offered to the youths of oases since 1994 |

make out of the SPODME a continuity of the scientific development program of
oases started up by the 1st International Seminar on Date palm
organised in Atar in 1996 by SOS date palms organised in Atar in 1996 bys
SOS palms, the Spanish NGO MON-3 and the Oasis project of the Ministry of
Rural Developpment (On the picture from left to right at the table for
