Mali is a rice basket in West Africa, providing a substantial amount of the region's rice supply, but is also
highly vulnerable to climate variability and change. AICCRA-Mali aims to strengthen the technical,
institutional, and human capacity required to accelerate the wide-scale adoption of climate-smart
agriculture and climate information services packages by hundreds of thousands of men and women
farmers in Mali. The project focuses on rice and associated speculations (legume, vegetable, tuber, fish,
and tree) value chains and pursues to enhance resilience to drought and flooding in rainfed systems and
cold and water scarcity in irrigated systems. Led by AfricaRice and with CGIAR partners, and national
public and private stakeholders, AICCRA-Mali addresses the current data limitation for both on-farm
decision support and research investment and policy decision making via climate risk mapping and
near-real-time rice crop monitoring and climate change impact assessment; improved access to
demand-driven, cost-effective, and timely climate services; and strengthened capacities of the National
Meteorological Agency (Mali-Meteo) in real-time services. AICCRA-Mali builds on existing work that
introduced and validated CSA technologies in Mali and will deploy well-established frameworks to
prioritize gender and social inclusive packages that best fit local biophysical and socio-economic contexts.
Sustainable financing mechanisms including business models will be piloted and policy briefs developed
for integrating best fit and gender-inclusive options into advisory services. Local capacity will also be
strengthened in improved water and irrigation systems management, climate-resilient storage facilities,
and processing technologies, while promoting gender and nature-based solutions, community-based measures, governance, and organization.
