Description

However, food insecurity remains a major concern. This food insecurity is caused by both external ans internal (structural origins) factors.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à améliorer l'offre de formation agricole, développer une main d'oeuvre qualifiée, et favoriser la création d'emploi pour les jeunes. L'agriculture est au cœur de l'économie malienne. Par contre, l'insécurité alimentaire demeure une préoccupation constante. Cette insécurité est causée tant par des facteurs externes que des origines structurelles. La formation d'une main d'œuvre agricole qualifiée peut jouer un rôle essentiel dans la prévention des crises alimentaires et dans l'atteinte d'une sécurité alimentaire durable. Le projet appuie trois institutions maliennes de formation, de niveau technique, professionnel et universitaire.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved capacities of stakeholders (producers, professionals, technicians) who have received agricultural training, taking into account in particular gender equality (GE), sustainable development and food security issues; (2) increased access for students to qualified university, technical and vocational teachers; and (3) increased presence of better managed and better governed agricultural training institutions that take into account GE and sustainable development issues.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) une capacité améliorée des intervenant(e)s, producteurs(trices), professionnel(le)s et technicien(ne)s) ayant bénéficié d’une formation agricole, prenant en compte notamment les enjeux d’égalité entre les hommes et les femmes (EFH), de développement durable et de sécurité alimentaire; 2) un accès accru des étudiant(e)s à des enseignant(e)s de niveaux universitaire, technique et professionnel qualifié(e)s; 3) une présence accrue d'établissements de formation agricole mieux gérés, mieux gouvernés et tenant compte des enjeux d’EFH et de développement durable.
