Mali - Studies for the elaboration of the Master Plan and Investment Programme of the Integrated Development and Climate Resilience Project in the Delta 2 Plains (PDIR-PD2)

The Project consists mainly in the preparation of the Master Plan and the Priority Investment Program for Integrated Development and Climate Resilience of Populations in the Delta 2 Plains (PDIR-PD2). The PDIR-PD2 consists of relevant support from the African Water Facility (AWF) to provide the Segou Rice Office (ORS) with a medium and long-term planning tool in its intervention area, and implementation studies for the construction of hydro-agricultural development infrastructure in the Delta plains 2. It is well justified in terms of its impacts on food security, the increase of the income of the populations of the zone and the climatic resilience of the populations of the ORS zone. The project will therefore be a powerful catalyst for the region's integrated economic and social development and for climate change adaptation and resilience. This initiative is fully in line with Mali's Strategic Framework for Economic Recovery and Sustainable Development (CREEDD 2016-2018) and with the priorities of AWF's 2017-2025 operational strategy. The implementation of the PDIR-PD2 will be based on the principles of the participatory approach; all stakeholders will be regularly consulted throughout the development process of the master plan of development and integrated development (SDADI) and preparation of the Priority Investment Program (PIP) as well as the preparation of feasibility studies and execution of hydro-agricultural schemes. The total amount of the Project is 2,128,644 euros. It will run over a period of 24 months.
