Mali Community Resilience and Inclusive Services Project - Malidenko

active

This project will work with local communities to improve access to basic services and small-scale infrastructure. It will use an inclusive planning approach to address the multi-sectoral needs and improve the living conditions of populations in newly stabilized and fragile areas of the country. The Government aims to deliver a package of critical services in two types of geographic areas: (i) communes affected by the conflict that have recently come under control of the State in northern Mali (Kidal, Tombouctou, Taoudenni); and (ii) fragile communes where improved services will contribute to prevent an escalation of tensions in the south (Nara, Nioro, Kayes). The Government is particularly interested in assisting areas in the north and southern regions where a large part of the population has fled due to violence and conflict and where it is expected that improved services and economic opportunities will contribute to the gradual return of the displaced. It is estimated that the project will cover approximately 850 villages and 57 communes in these six regions of the country. The geographical targeting within these regions will remain flexible given the uncertainty of the field security situation.
