Support Malian National and Local Institutions in Managing Environmental Migration within the Framework of their Strategy for Reducing Vulnerability to Climatic Changes

Mali, as with some other countries, is deeply affected by the influence of climatic changes. These climatic changes can lead to population movements within and from sub-Saharan Africa. This project aims to integrate environmental migration into local and national strategies for vulnerability reduction and reinforcement of community adjustment capacity. The project includes the following activities; i) heightening the awareness of decision makers and the general public to better understand the relationship between vulnerability, migration and environment; ii) reinforcing the capacities of relevant institutions to undertake vulnerability analysis and to promote community-based adaptation; iii) setting-up pilot initiatives to ensure community adjustment to climatic change.
