Limited public transport infrastructure concentrated in Nouakchott. The Société de Transport Public (STP) operates bus services with variable availability rates. The Nouakchott Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (launched 2023) aims to expand coverage, reduce commute times, and introduce dedicated bus lanes and cycling paths. Regional rail service is minimal outside the Zouerate-Nouadhibou mining corridor. Integration between transport modes remains underdeveloped.

Road network shows unequal distribution with lower-income regions lacking appropriate connectivity. Urban roads in Nouakchott vary in quality, with ongoing initiatives to improve sidewalks, pedestrian infrastructure, and road hierarchy (main, secondary, tertiary, community roads). Maintenance challenges persist, though recent policy recommendations focus on systematic rehabilitation and paving of peripheral areas.

Limited internet infrastructure with significant urban-rural connectivity gaps. Mauritania faces challenges in broadband deployment typical of Sahel region countries. Mobile internet availability varies by carrier and location, with urban areas having better access than remote regions.

Minimal fiber deployment, concentrated in Nouakchott and major cities

Mauritania has 34 airports total with 3 major airports (large and medium capacity). Limited international hub status with basic connectivity to regional and some European destinations. Nouakchott-Oumtounsy International Airport serves as the primary gateway. Domestic flight network covers major cities but remains limited compared to regional peers.
