    Mali, Africa

    This study discusses the impact of economic geography and (low) population density on development outcomes in Mali and explores how policies to reduce poverty can be made more effective by taking these two factors into account. The crisis in north Mali which started in 2012 and continues to date has brought questions of economic geography to the center of attention.

    Mali, Africa

    The performance of the Malian economy is largely dependent on the performance of the agricultural sector. The overall good growth in the Malian economy over the last several years is attributed to the agricultural GDP growth. Since 1995, the economy grew at about 5 percent per year until 2010, but a global recession, the military coup and terrorist activity caused a noticeable slowdown in GDP to about 1.2 percent in 2011-2012. The economic growth has resumed at a slow pace since 2013 and is currently estimated around 4.5 percent for 2014-2015.

    Mali

    The livestock sector in Mali accounts
    for 43 percent of cattle exports in the Sahel sub-region.
    However, while the sub-sector accounted for 28.6 percent of
    agriculture's contribution to Gross Domestic Product
    (GDP), investment in it amounted to only 10.7 percent of the
    total budget allocation to rural development. The African
    Financial Community (CFA) devaluation in January 1994
    increased the competitiveness of red meat from Sahelian

    Located in the heart of Mali, the Office
    du Niger (ON) is one of the oldest and largest irrigation
    schemes in Sub-Saharan Africa. The French, who began the
    scheme in 1932, planned on developing about 1,000,000
    hectares over a period of 50 years. The original objectives
    were to: 1) supply the French textile industry with a large
    share of its needs in cotton; and 2) significantly
    contribute to food security for the whole Sahelian region of

    Mali

    This report analyzes the
    government's decision on the outcome of a series of
    small power shifts triggered by pro-reform players. Reform
    advocates devised them whenever opportunities arose and used
    whatever maneuvering room there was to tilt the power
    balance between agency and farmers to further the goals of
    sustainability and partnership. The shifts were thought out
    for their strategic value, but most came without a timeline

    Mali

    Mali, a landlocked West African nation
    at the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, has introduced a
    program to produce biodiesel using jatropha curcas, a
    non-edible shrub widely available throughout the country by
    farmers for generations as a living fence for their gardens.
    The aim of the program is to partially substitute diesel,
    which is entirely supplied through imports, with domestic
    biodiesel produced from a feedstock that does not have any

    A Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) was
    undertaken to assess the returns to land management
    practices of major land use types, namely forests,
    rangelands, and selected crops (rice, maize, cotton, and
    millet). Also the public expenditure on SLM was reviewed
    and an assessment carried out how the expenditure is aligned
    to land policies and how it is targeted to land degradation
    hotspots. The results show that, without some form of

    The Sahel region has seen the forcible
    displacement of more than million persons as a result of
    conflict. Tackling displacement in the Sahel is critical for
    both poverty alleviation and stabilization, and only a
    development response will be adequate to the task. A
    development response to forced displacement in the Sahel
    requires a regional approach. Such an approach would have
    the benefits of being able to overcome challenges relating

    A development response to forced
    displacement in the Sahel requires a regional approach. Such
    an approach would have the benefits of being able to: (i)
    overcome challenges relating to cross--- border movements,
    (ii) obtain commitments by host governments to support the
    prospects of displaced from neighboring countries and (iii)
    facilitate common approaches, shared conceptualization and
    learning. A regional approach will be appropriate in the

    Mali

    Mali is a vast, land-locked country in
    West Africa with a population of approximately 14.9 million,
    and a GDP per capita of USD480. The economy is largely
    rural, with over two-thirds of the population living off
    agriculture, notably cotton. Gold is the country’s largest
    export, though production has been declining and the
    industry faces an uncertain future as proven reserves are
    limited. The service sector, which represents 40 percent of
