The Agricultural Competitiveness and Diversification Project for Mali aims at fostering improvements in the performances of supply chains for a range of agricultural, livestock, fishery and gathering products, for which Mali has a strong comparative advantage. The project consists of the following components: Component 1) will support the demonstration and dissemination by private sector providers of low-cost, simple and adapted techniques and technologies to improve the production, productivity, processing and marketing of selected high value agricultural products. Component 2) aims at improving the organization and performances of agricultural supply chains, reinforcing private sector capacities to respond to market opportunities and improving the competitiveness of agricultural products, both traditional and new high value products. Component 3) aims at facilitating access to capital and financial services for the various private actors and operators involved in the agricultural supply chains and strengthening the current agriculture credit market in Mali. Component 4) will provide resources to carry out an investment program aimed at improving basic commercial and communication infrastructure, in order to improve linkages to markets and reduce transaction costs. Component 5) will provide the resources necessary to ensure adequate project management, particularly overall coordination, financial management and procurement of goods and services, as well as monitoring of implementation and evaluation of results.
