**Dafor** (or **Dafort**, **Daffort**, in Arabic: الدافوع) is a town and commune in Southern [Mauritania](/source/Mauritania), located in the [Ould Yengé department](/source/Ould_Yenge_(department)) of the [Guidimaka Region](/source/Guidimaka_region).

## Geography

The commune of Dafort is located in the region of [Guidimaka](/source/Guidimaka_region), in the south of Mauritania. It is positioned to the west in the department of Ould Yengé and covers an area of 276 km2.

It is bounded to the north by the commune of [Bouanze](/source/Bouanze), to the east by the commune of [Tektaka](/source/Tektaka), to the south by the commune of [Bouly](/source/Bouly), to the west by the communes of [Tachott](/source/Tachott) and [Ouldmbouni](/source/Ouldmbouni).

## History

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding missing information. (May 2024)

Dafort was established as a commune by the order of October 20, 1987, establishing the communes of Mauritania.

## Economy

Agriculture is at the center of Dafort's economy, like almost all the municipalities in the region. But this economy is fragile because it encounters obstacles to its development, in particular the climatic conditions or the lack of means of the farmers. To deal with these obstacles, the state or various [NGOs](/source/Non-governmental_organization) finance projects that improve the living conditions of the inhabitants.

For example, a project to set up a drinking water network was launched in 2021 in the village of Lefkarine.[2]
