Green and inclusive valorization of cotton and textile for local empowerment

About this project

In Mali, the textile sector is primarily based on cotton cultivation, the country’s second-largest export commodity after gold. In 2023, the cotton industry accounted for approximately 7% of total exports and contributed nearly 15% of the national GDP. It plays a vital role in the country’s economic and social development by generating income for over 4 million people—representing about one-fifth of the population—and promoting economic inclusion in both rural and urban areas.This project is ali
