The 'UE-APSAN-Mali' project, funded by the European Union, has significantly enhanced the agricultural productivity and income of approximately 30,000 farming households in Mali, as reported from the project's annual planning meeting in 2024. Since its initiation in 2019, the project has been pivotal in introducing high-quality seed varieties of key crops across four regions, witnessing a notable increase in productivity. The introduction of the Soubatimi sorghum variety has been particularly beneficial in improving the financial stability of farmers and introducing more resilient crop options, such as those highlighted by women farmers like Djeneba Coulibaly and Nah Diarra. The project's success is attributed to its focus on seed quality, enhanced partnerships between farmers and researchers, and comprehensive training programs, all aiming to adapt to climate change and improve food security. The project's impact is reflected in its positive effects on economic empowerment, health, and community well-being, with an ongoing communication campaign to spread awareness about seed quality for the project's final cropping season.
