NEEMA | Food and Nutritional Resilience in Mali

In this video, Mamadou Nientao gives an overview of the critical issue of food and nutritional security in Mali, a country facing ongoing challenges due to extreme poverty, natural disasters, and recurrent shocks. This report emphasizes the four dimensions of food security—availability, access, utilization, and stability—and addresses the gaps in ensuring these for all citizens.

Key recommendations include enhancing sustainable food production systems, diversifying livelihood support activities, and improving coordination among stakeholders. The study advocates for strengthening governance, promoting research and development in agriculture, and improving institutional capacities to build resilience. Additionally, it calls for the protection of vulnerable communities through better social protection, climate risk management, and the recognition of food and nutrition as fundamental human rights.

By implementing these strategies, Mali can work towards a sustainable food system that delivers environmental, social, and economic benefits. The study provides a roadmap for achieving long-term food security and nutritional resilience in the region.
