Published purpose
This initiative supports several viable financial institutions to enhance their expertise and capacity in agricultural financing. It aims to address unmet agricultural producer demands for medium-to-long-term financial services in southern regions of Mali, namely Ségou, Koulikoro, Bamako, and Sikasso. In partnership with Développement International Desjardins and SOCODEVI, project activities include: (1) strengthening the capacity of local financial institutions in rural credit provision and management; (2) allowing targeted stakeholders to access Agricultural Input Savings Plans from selected financial institutions; (3) reducing the financial risk inherent to small-scale agriculture through crop insurance and loan-guarantee programs; and (4) strengthening the socio-economic power of women and youth while promoting good social and environmental practices in agricultural activities.
