General Information
Freedom and Citizenship  is a non-profit-making development agency registered as an NGO in Mauritania, Established in 2018. We believe that people are the reason for and the means through which development can be achieved. Unless communities or groups of people are aware of their roles and rights, they are not in a position to bring about change or influence policies. So in FC we are mainly devoted to the promotion of liberal principles and to civic education. The goal of the foundation is to advance the principles of freedom and dignity for all people in all areas of society in Mauritania.
