| Project Name: | Organizational Strengthening Women's Credit, and Irrigated Agriculture in Macina (ROCAM) |
| Project Description: |
This project addresses the institutional and organizational issues that underlie all aspects of development in
the Macina, Niono, and Segou Districts of the Segou Region, and that are increasingly critical as Mali continues on a
path of government decentralization. The project's goal is to reinforce the ability of 3 NGOs, 10,000 households, and
27 communes to work together to promote the needs of the most vulnerable and marginalized in the three target
districts. CARE works with local groups in three areas: 1) Women's access to credit and income generating
activities, 2) Capacity building of NGOs, women's groups, agricultural producer associations and other partners, and
3) behavioral change communication (BCC) aimed at improving basic health and hygiene and reducing the prevalence of female genital cutting (FGC). |
