Climate change, poverty, and low environmental education have contributed to increasing vulnerability of poor farmers in Mali. This study was done to determine the impact of low-cost adaptation strategies on resilience and welfare.

Africa RISING (AR) initiatives in Mali were implemented in Bougouni, Yanfolila, and Koutiala cercles (administrative units) in the Sikasso region of the country.

This study evaluates the impact of Africa RISING, a sustainable intensification (SI) program, implemented in Bougouni, Yanfolila, and Koutiala cercles in southern Mali beginning in 2012.

Climate change poses a greater threat for more exposed and vulnerable countries, communities and social groups.

This is a joint IFPRI-WFP study on the drivers, profile, and risks of irregular migration in the West Africa context.

The evidence on the potential for agricultural interventions to contribute to improved nutrition has grown considerably over the past decade.

Individual farmer investments have the potential to fill the gap in public investments and be more cost-effective than large-scale irrigation. However, this development primarily occurs outside of formal systems.

Farmers, entrepreneurs, and businesses are already leading the way by expanding irrigation in response to climate variability and the growing demand for vegetables and fruit through supplemental and dry-season irrigated production.

Small-scale irrigation has been identified as a potential adaptation strategy for climate change and boosting food security and livelihoods in dry regions.

The 193 individual country profiles capture the status and progress of all UN Member States, and the 80+ indicators include a wealth of information on child, adolescent and adult anthropometry and nutritional status, in addition to intervention co

Using a participatory rural appraisal approach, a series of qualitative studies were conducted in four countries facing negative impacts of climate change—Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Kenya and Mali—in order to determine men’s and women’s perceptions of

LA VARIABILITÉ DE LA PRODUCTION DUE AUX CONDITIONS CLIMATIQUES EST UNE SOURCE IMPORTANTE DE risques pour la production agricole, et une contrainte majeure pour la croissance agricole et la sécurité alimentaire.

EN L’ABSENCE D’INSTITUTIONS FORMELLES, LES RÉSEAUX SOCIAUX SONT UN VÉHICULE primordial de l’information, notamment pour les agriculteurs des pays en développement.

LE CHANGEMENT CLIMATIQUE CONSTITUE UN DÉFI CONSIDÉRABLE POUR LES POPULATIONS RURALES PAUVRES des pays en développement, lesquelles dépendent souvent des ressources naturelles pour subvenir à leurs besoins tout en disposant de capacités d’adaptatio

This policy note summarizes research exploring the challenges and opportunities associated with building human, organizational, and institutional capacity to respond effectively to the adverse impacts of climate change as they relate to agricultur

This policy note summarizes research on the effect of social network characteristics and gender on the diffusion of information about an agricultural technology.

This policy note summarizes the findings of two literature reviews on the gender-differentiated impacts of climate change and the scope for community-based adaptation.

Climate change poses great challenges for poor rural people in developing countries, most of whom rely on natural resources for their livelihoods and have limited capacity to adapt to climate change.

This policy note summarizes research into the gender-differentiated impacts of climatic changes on farmers’ production possibilities using a representative sample of farmers in rainfed and irrigated areas of the Segou region of Mali during the 200
