The city of Dunkirk

The city of Dunkirk is leader in the wind energy sector in France with the wind turbine of Malo installed in 1991, then the wind farm of Dunkirk in 1996.

That is why Dunkirk has decided to lend its support to the diffusion of this energy in the southern countries. From 1993, it has given 50000 F for the wind pump’s installation in the village of Garack in Mauritania. Two other installations have been financed as part of the Alizés-Mauritania programme in 1994 and 1995.

Between 1993 and 1996, closer relations have been created between Garack and Dunkirk, especially with the social center of "Carré de la Vieille" and the "Maison de l'environnement" of Dunkirk : collection of medicines, sending of books and beds for the free health centre, travel for a group of youth with water connection between the wind pump and the free health centre, welcome of youth from Garack in Dunkirk.

In 1997, the city of Dunkirk has given an aid of 50 000 F (7600 Euros) for the electrification of Garack.
