Client Challenges and Specific Requirements

The client, a French public cooperation agency, manages development projects across Africa and required a reliable local partner to employ and manage project experts in Mauritania. These experts support programs aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), addressing governance, logistics, education, and public administration reform.

 

Mauritania’s local regulatory environment posed challenges regarding employment contracts, tax compliance, and expatriate work permits. The client needed an agile Employer of Record capable of hosting experts, managing HR processes, and ensuring alignment with both French and Mauritanian administrative standards. 

 

IOTA Group’s mission was to guarantee seamless operations, from onboarding and payroll to social insurance and repatriation, while maintaining compliance, transparency, and local support.
