Synopsis (short abstract) Mali is currently facing many challenges due to climate change that is significantly affecting all communities in the country, and agricultural producers in particular. In order to meet these climate challenges, the project aimed at building the capacities of agro-pastoralists in the Banamba, Kita and Niono districts to help them cope with climate change. With the exception of gender, the project strategy is sound and it reached the objective to boost the capacity of Mali's agro-pastoral activities to cope with climate change. A functional interactive community chat created by the project, as well as the Village Savings and Loan Associations set-up, are some of the elements that strengthen the resilience of agro-pastoralists and render project achievements more sustainable.

    Final Evaluation of the Project “Land Rehabilitation and Rangelands Management in Smallholders Agro-pastoral Production Systems in South Western Angola (RETESA)”
    GCP/ANG/048/GFF - GEF ID 4720
    2018
    Also available in:
    In Southwest Angola, the impacts of climate change have contributed to a reduction in soil coverage and an increase in soil erosion. To address these challenges, the GEF project "Land Rehabilitation and Rangelands Management in Smallholders Agro-pastoral Production Systems in South Western Angola” supported activities contributing to the strengthening of capacity and increase in knowledge for the participatory planning of mainstreamed land management. The project contributed to several outcomes at institutional level and increased community awareness and capacity on sustainable agriculture systems. Although there is evidence of an improvement in the livelihoods of the beneficiaries, the project achievement of the environmental objective is moderately satisfactory as rehabilitation of rangelands takes a significant amount of time to generate effects. Moving forward, to see impacts there is the need for beginning a project outcome sustainability strategy right from project start, in addition to promote partnerships with national research institutions to generate national and regional knowledge.

    Évaluation finale du projet «Intensifier la résilience aux changements climatiques à travers une gestion agricole et pastorale intégrée dans la zone sahélienne dans le cadre de l’approche de gestion durable des terres au Mali»
    Symbole du projet: GCP/MLI/038/LDF FEM ID: 4822
    2020
    Also available in:
    Le Mali est actuellement confronté à des nombreux défis en raison du changement climatique qui affecte considérablement toutes les communautés du pays, et les producteurs agricoles en particulier. Afin de relever ces défis climatiques, le projet visait à renforcer les capacités des agro-éleveurs des districts de Banamba, Kita et Niono pour les aider à faire face au changement climatique. À l'exception du genre, la stratégie du projet est saine et elle a atteint l'objectif de renforcer la capacité des activités agro-pastorales du Mali à faire face au changement climatique. Un chat communautaire interactif fonctionnel créé par le projet, ainsi que la mise en place des associations villageoises d'épargne et de crédit sont quelques-uns des éléments qui renforcent la résilience des agro-éleveurs et rendent les réalisations du projet plus durables.

    Mali – Analysis of conflicts over natural resources
    Summary
    2021
    Also available in:
    Due to the economic dominance of the agriculture sector, Mali is extremely dependent on natural resources and also vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. The deterioration of ecosystems has strongly affected rural populations, resulting in a very poor performance in environmental governance. Gender inequalities are also present at all social levels and help create or exacerbate tensions between different social groups. In addition to the social tensions, the security situation in Mali is precarious due to the presence of non-state armed groups. The conflict analysis was carried out to take stock of the current situation regarding conflicts over natural resources and identify initiatives for conflict prevention and management in the areas covered by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) project “Strengthening the resilience of cross-border pastoral and agropastoral populations in priority areas of the Sahel”, which is funded through the FAO-European Union Partnership Programme under the Global Network Against Food Crises (GNAFC).
