The “Integrated Fight Against Chronic Malnutrition in Mali” project, funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC), aims to improve the nutritional status of children under five and women of childbearing age in the Kayes, Kita, and Sikasso regions. Over a five-year period, the project will tackle three key drivers of chronic malnutrition: limited access to quality healthcare, poor environmental conditions, and inadequate access to a healthy, diversified diet.
These factors are deeply influenced by gender inequalities, which disproportionately affect women and adolescent girls. Recognizing this, the project integrates a gender-sensitive approach to ensure lasting impact.
The initiative is led by a consortium of three NGOs, with Action contre la Faim (ACF) serving as the lead agency. Implementation is carried out in partnership with two national organizations: the Association Malienne pour le Développement Communautaire (AMADECOM) and the Convergence des Femmes Rurales pour la Souveraineté Alimentaire (COFERSA).
