Mali - Koulikoro Region Food and Nutrition Security Enhancement Project (PReSAN-KL)

The present project which is held over a period of five years is relative to Koulikoro Food and Nutrition Security Support Project (PReSAN-KL). This project receives a US $ 37.21 million grant from the Global Agriculture Program and Food Security (GAFSP). It targets six hydro-agricultural sites in the Koulikoro region that have been the subject of participatory diagnoses as well as detailed pre-project studies, in close liaison with the Office of Development of the Upper Niger Valley (OHVN) and the Baguinéda irrigated area office (OPIB). The interventions identified target an increase in agricultural production (10,600 tons of rice and 20,300 tons of market gardening), thanks to a valorisation of surface water, the creation of development poles involving private actors, a better organization of producers, and specific attention to the development of value chains.
