Mali - Project 2 of the Food and Nutrition Insecurity Resilience Programme in the Sahel (P2-P2RS)

The Project 2 of the Food and Nutrition Insecurity resilience Program in The Sahel (P2-P2RS) is part of the Bank's long-term commitment to build the resilience of Sahel populations under the P2RS Programme. The project will target the most vulnerable households, in particular small producers, herders, fishermen and agro-pastoralists, taking into account specificities relating to gender, age and vulnerabilities (displaced persons). By adopting a territorial approach through municipalities, and paying attention to cross-border areas, the project seeks to provide responses to vectors of social fragility (poverty, farmer/herder conflicts, youth and women unemployment, child malnutrition, forced displacement, etc.). Also, the project will contribute to strengthening regional integration by targeting cross-border areas and enabling CILSS countries to jointly address some regional security issues. The project has four main components, namely: (1) strengthening climate change resilience of agricultural, silvicultural, pastoral and fisheries production; (2) development of agricultural, silvicultural, pastoral and fisheries value chains; (3) support to regional institutions (CILSS, PAAGGW, CCRS) to build adaptive capacities in the Sahel and (4) programme coordination and management. The project contributes to climate finance, with 28 million USD of the total approved amount dedicated to adaptation.
