Sixteen agricultural science students from Mali are set to embark on a program sponsored by the U.S. Government under the Feed the Future initiative and designed to strengthen the agricultural research capacity of Malian institutions. The students will first study intensive English for six months before pursuing Masters and PhD-level degrees in various agricultural fields at African higher education institutions in Kenya, Ghana and South Africa.
In the spirit of Aid effectiveness and the premise that development built on collaboration is more likely to engender local leadership and ownership, and turn good ideas into lasting results, USAID/Mali hereby invites review and comment on its Results Framework Paper (RF Paper). The RF Paper will inform USAID/Mali's Country Development Cooperation Strategy for 2015-2019. In the coming months, USAID/Mali will consult with the host government, donors, key stakeholders including civil society and the private sector on this strategic framework.
Despite the challenges in 2012 due to the political instability and food insecurity, many important results were achieved.
Mali’s Feed the Future strategy will launch a new generation of rural entrepreneurs through the development of agricultural and health systems , the introduction of technological innovations and by building institutional capacity to spur a private sector-led approach to sustainably reduce poverty and hunger in Mali.
The President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) is led by USAID and implemented with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was launched in 2005 as a billion dollar commitment to reduce the burden of malaria in Africa. The goal is to reach 450 million people and to remove malaria as a major public health problem.
