Synopsis (short abstract) In Mali, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is currently experimenting the “productive transfers” approach (CASH+), implemented successfully in 2014 in other countries – including countries from West Africa. The 18-month programme combines unconditional cash transfers with the provision of in-kind livestock inputs (goats and animal feed) to benefit 750 vulnerable households, approximately 5 300 individuals, in 36 villages of the Kayes region. The most vulnerable ho useholds were targeted using the HEA (Household Economy Analysis) approach1. Women are the direct recipients of transfers in 99 percent of the cases. In order to better cope with, recover from and adapt to the multiple shocks and recurrent crises affecting the Sahel region (drought, desertification, floods, conflicts, economic shocks, diseases, etc.), the poorest households need to protect their livelihoods, diversify their sources of income and accumulate productive assets. Turning the vicious circle of poverty and dependence, that repeated humanitarian interventions often fail to sustainably stop, into a virtuous circle of production and investments requires innovative approaches.

Des transferts productifs innovants (CASH+) au Mali
Une approche pour renforcer la résilience des ménages les plus vulnérables dans la région de Kayes

Au Mali, l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO) expérimente l’approche des «transferts productifs» (CASH+), mise en oeuvre avec succès depuis 2014 dans d’autres pays, notamment d’Afrique de l’Ouest. Le programme, d’une durée de 18 mois, associe des transferts monétaires non conditionnels à la fourniture d’intrants en nature pour l’élevage (noyaux de caprins et aliments pour le bétail) au bénéfice de 750 ménages vulnérables, soit environ 5 300 personnes, de 36 villages de la région de Kayes. Le ciblage des ménages les plus vulnérables a été réalisé selon l’approche HEA (analyse de l’économie des ménages). Au sein des ménages bénéficiaires, les femmes sont les récipiendaires des transferts dans 99 pour cent des cas.
