Rural Community Development Project

closed

The Mali Rural Community Development Project aims to improve the living conditions of project-supported rural communities in terms of (1) access to basic socio-economic services and (2) a sustainable increase in incomes, while promoting improved natural resource management practices. There are four project components. Component A, Capacity Building, improves the governance and managerial capacity of targeted communes and local communities. Component B, the Communal Initiatives Fund, improves access to and sustainability of basic socioeconomic services for the targeted communes. Component C, the Local Productive Initiatives Fund, increases income with support service contracts. Component D, Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation and Knowledge Management, ensures that beneficiaries are efficiently involved and that project data is regularly disseminated.
