The National Rally for Reform and Development (Arabic: التجمع الوطني للإصلاح و التنمية, romanizedat-tajammuʿ al-waṭani lil iṣlāḥ wat-tanmiya, French: Rassemblement National pour la Réforme et le Développement), often known by its shortened Arabic name Tewassoul (Arabic: تواصل, romanizedTawāṣṣul) or by the abbreviation of its French name (RNRD), is an Islamist political party in Mauritania. The party is associated with the Mauritanian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.[2]

As a result of the 2013, 2018 and 2023 parliamentary election Tewassoul has become the second largest political party in Mauritania.[3]
