Grant Description

On May 17, 2017, the Chinese Government completed a feasibility study for National Public Health Institute (CNRSP) Expansion and Upgrade Project.

China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) subsequently issued a grant for the National Public Health Institute (CNRSP) Expansion and Upgrade Project.

Then, on October 30, 2019, the Chinese Government and the Government of Mauritania signed a grant agreement worth 746,000,000 new ouguiyas (7.46 billion old ouguiyas) for the National Public Health Institute (CNRSP) Expansion and Upgrade Project.

The purpose of this project is to construct a new headquarters for the National Public Health Institute (Institut national de recherches en santé publique or CNRSP or INRSP) in Nouakchott.

The facility will included a main building, three auxiliary buildings, a storage area, laboratories for bacterial diagnosis, parasitic virology, molecular biology and quality control (water and food), outdoor squares, roads, parking lots, and walls. China Aviation Planning and Design Institute Limited (also known as China Aviation Planification Co.

Ltd) is the contractor responsible for project design. Jiangsu Zhongnan Construction Co.

Ltd. (also known as Jiangsu Zhongnan Construction Industry Group Co., Ltd. or 江苏中南建筑产业集团有限责任公司) is the contractor responsible for implementation.

Between October 10, 2019 and November 5, 2019, China Aviation Planning and Design Institute Limited dispatched a team to Mauritania to conduct project preparation activities. A project implementation agreement was signed on October 30, 2019. MOFCOM then issued a construction contract to Jiangsu Zhongnan Construction Co.

Ltd. on December 17, 2020. A formal groundbreaking ceremony took place on August 31, 2021. After the start of construction, on-site measurement, excavation, and site leveling activities were carried out. The project passed mid-term acceptance in January 2023. It was originally scheduled to reach completion on or around October 1, 2023.
