The development objective of the FSRP is to increase preparedness against food insecurity and improve the resilience of food system stakeholders, priority landscapes and value chains in the programme’s target areas in Mali.

 The FSRP in Mali is being implemented in 3 regions: (i) Koutiala; (ii) Ségou; (iii) Sikasso.

The priority value chains in Mali are rice, maize and onions. Activities focus on expanding the participation of a range of stakeholders in the three target value chains, with particular attention to developing the capacity of producers to meet the institutional, infrastructural, technical and technological requirements of competitive value chains.
