Workshop Report: Experiences in Livelihoods adapted to Climate and Security Risks, Mali RC

In Mali, as in the rest of the Sahel, the main factors contributing to food insecurity and malnutrition are multi-hazard factors, namely, civil insecurity (resulting from conflicts over access to natural resources and socio-political conflicts) and climate shocks (increasingly frequent and severe). These factors, in addition to affecting human lives and causing massive displacement and migration, have a direct impact on the livelihoods of the majority of the population, who remain dependent on subsistence production.

Faced with this situation, it is necessary to strengthen, through holistic emergency actions, the populations most affected by this multifaceted crisis, and those most vulnerable who are suffering the aftermath. To this end, the ECHO Programmatic Pilot Partnership (ECHO PPP) is an opportunity to integrate the nexus approach, with actions to increase the resilience and enhance the dignity of populations affected by these crises (including displaced persons and host communities); as well as disaster preparedness capacities.

The internal workshop "Assessment and sharing of existing experiences within the MRC in the field of resilient livelihoods in the face of climate and security risks" is one of the sub-activities.
