PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation
Around 80 percent of the Malian population lives from agriculture and generates around a third of the gross domestic product. The most common form is rainfed farming for self-sufficiency. However, Mali's dependence on agriculture makes it vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Half of the rural population also lives below the poverty line and is affected by undernourishment and malnutrition.
Small-scale irrigation and agricultural extension play a central role in making agriculture more resilient and improving the economic and nutritional situation. Due to the natural conditions and the existing water reserves, Mali has great irrigation potential.
Goal
Farmers are adopting innovative agroecological methods in small-scale irrigation. This improves agricultural productivity and food security.
Approach
On behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and Global Affairs Canada (GAC), the project supports the long-term valorization of small-scale irrigation systems.
In order to achieve this goal, the project is working in three areas of action:
- It is developing a new edition of the National Program for Small-Scale Irrigation (PNIP) based on previous results and experiences. This will increasingly integrate economic, agroecological, gender and nutrition-sensitive aspects.
- It supports the Ministerial Directorate
