Literacy rate, adult total (% of people ages 15 and above), 2000–2020. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 4 of the 21 years between 2000 and 2020 for Mauritania. The missing 17 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.

Every year reported

Year	Adult literacy rate
2020	59.53
