Synopsis (short abstract) The socio-political turmoil, insecurity and their impact on communities are still the main drivers of food insecurity in Mali, where the situation is exacerbated by the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which continues to negatively affect households’ economic activities. In an already fragile context, which is exacerbated by the effects of the pandemic, it is essential to provide timely agricultural and livestock production support to vulnerable farmers and pastoralists to protect their livelihoods and prevent the further deterioration of their food security and nutrition.

    In 2022, the Government of Sweden, through the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, contributed nearly SEK 141 million (USD 14.5 million) to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Thanks to this support, FAO implemented 18 projects from 1 January 2022 to 31 May 2023 centred on scaling up agricultural support to communities affected by crises across ten countries, including Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Colombia, Madagascar, Mali, the Niger, Nigeria, Somalia, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Through these projects, FAO delivered emergency agricultural assistance to support smallholder farmers and local food production – an integral source of livelihoods for rural communities and a bedrock of global food security.

    Mali | Response overview (December 2019) 2019

    Mali’s volatile humanitarian situation has further deteriorated in 2019 and particularly during the last two months due to increased attacks by armed groups and recurrent inter-community conflict. In addition to structural weaknesses and chronic poverty, conflict and natural disasters affecting the country have caused the destruction of infrastructure, the disruption of livelihoods and forced displacement, particularly in the Liptako Gourma area, resulting in limited access to basic social services and putting additional pressure on already limited resources. Given the deteriorating livelihoods and food security situation, FAO has activated a corporate scale‑up to enhance emergency response. Together with other agencies, such as the World Food Programme, FAO is supporting the Government’s response to the crisis by strengthening the resilience of vulnerable people to shocks in the medium to long term, while also providing immediate assistance. Joint actions benefiting the most vulnerable communities through context-specific assistance and integrated approaches (gender- and nutrition-sensitive) will help to address the root causes of food insecurity and vulnerability, and prevent dependency on humanitarian aid. Without additional funding in the coming months, vulnerable populations will face serious challenges to meeting their food and livelihood requirements.
