Project description
The objective of CA 17 International’s mission was to carry out a test on two agricultural sectors (rice and livestock meat production) in order to better define both the issues that can be resolved by the SIFA system and its limits in decision support to enable:
- Private producers and operators to form their own judgement on the promotion of the rice and livestock meat production sectors, to make proposals to the government and to adapt their own strategies;
- The Government to support the development of these sectors;
- Donors to have a reliable and effective information base of these sectors in order to enlighten them in their future commitments.
Project goals
The Planning and Statistics Unit (PSU) of the Malian Ministry of Agriculture, with the technical support of French cooperation, launched in 2002 a series of activities aimed at establishing a common database and information exchange network based on public services and institutions and on a number of civil society actors, in order to contribute to the promotion of agricultural sectors and anticipate their development.

- Design a database on both sectors;
- Develop a manual for the presentation and use of the database
- Produce information on the sectors;
