Mali - Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis 2014

Mali is a Sahelian country, landlocked and structurally vulnerable to food insecurity and malnutrition. The economy is heavily dependent on the primary sector: agriculture, livestock, fishing and forestry account for 68.0% of the active population1 . This sector is itself dependent on exogenous factors, mainly climatic, such as recurrent droughts. In 2018, the prevalence of food insecurity at the national level was 19.1%, of which 2.6% was severely food insecure. The most affected regions were Kidal, Gao, Timbuktu, Mopti and Kayes. The Global Food Crisis Network Partnership Programme baseline studies are designed to feed into the overall monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning programme of each project. In this regard, the baseline study has short, medium and long-term objectives.
