Targeted Support for Irrigated Land and Nutrition Opportunities

About this project

The Targeted Support for Irrigated Land and Nutrition Opportunities (ACTION) project aims to achieve improved and sustainable economic, food and nutritional security for poor rural populations (especially women and youth) practicing proximity irrigation in the project's intervention regions in Mali. The project is being implemented by two German agencies, KFW and GIZ, and is active in areas in the Koulikoro, Mopti and Kayes regions. Project activities include: (1) developing and rehabilitating agricultural infrastructure in line with environmental standards and taking into account challenges that women face; (2) building or rehabilitating complementary hydro-agricultural facilities for women and youth; (3) supplying agricultural equipment and inputs, particularly to women and youth; (4) training producers, mainly women and youth, in sustainable, diversified and nutritionally-sensitive agricultural, fish and livestock production techniques; (5) training and raising awareness among producers, mainly women and youth, on community equipment and agricultural inputs adapted to the effects of climate change. The project aims to reach 239,600 direct beneficiaries, 50.4% of them women, as well as 700,000 indirect beneficiaries in the Koulikoro, Kayes and Mopti regions.
