About this project

Description

Mali has always been exposed to climate hazards. The project intervention areas are found in the Kayes, Koulikoro, and Sikasso Regions, and major climate events that disrupt economic activities in these regions are several fold. Erratic rainfall in the regions includes irregular timing of rains that affects planting dates, irregular length of the rainy season, and irregular distribution of rainfall across space. In addition, the regions see increases in floods as well as increases in evaporation and the drying up of wetlands and other water bodies due to high temperatures. Finally, land degradation and hydric erosion is prevalent, and arable farmland is becoming increasingly limited due to deforestation and desertification.Given the nature of climate hazards and vulnerabilities in the regions, the present project is designed to strengthen the livelihoods of women's groups and farmers in ten vulnerable communes in the regions of Kayes, Koulikoro, and Sikasso in Mali to increase their resilience to the impacts of climate change.The project is developed to encompass two major components: i) improve access to water management systems that are resilient to climate change for vulnerable communities, including women farmers, to support subsistence activities; and ii) invest in innovative climate-resilient approaches and technologies for women farmers and other farmers to enhance and secure the production of local livelihood systems from climate impacts.

Objectives

Enhance women, producer group"s adaptive capacities to secure livelihoods production from climate impacts and increase socio-economic resilience in Malian vulnerable communes (Kayes, Koulikoro and Sikasso).
