Mali
Extreme droughts and an advancing front of desertification endangers the 80 percent of Mali’s population that is engaged in agriculture and depends on natural resources. USAID is helping build the resilience of vulnerable populations, households, communities and systems to climate change variability and change in Mali through (1) the capacity building of vulnerable populations to use effective climate information; (2) an increased inclusion of climate change considerations into more commune-level governance systems; and, (3) and an increased adoption of climate change adaptive practices by communities and individual households.
