MCCAA’s interventions focus on the rain-fed areas of Mopti region, where the Activity is facilitating the uptake of climate, market, and agricultural information and adaptive practices vital for Malian farmers, local decision-makers, and key Malian institutions to initiate and maintain a resilience pathway. This Annual Report for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 presents a summary of MCCAA operations and technical activities in Bamako and the Mopti region during the period of October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019. It is divided into seven sections, providing an overview of MCCAA’s organization and project results framework; a summary of project operations related to MCCAA’s offices, human resources and recruitment, and security during the reporting period; a discussion of technical progress toward achieving results, including a discussion of constraints and opportunities; an overview of project monitoring and evaluation (M&E); a report on cross-cutting aspects of MCCAA, including gender, youth, and environmental compliance; and an annual financial report. During Fiscal Year 2019, MCCAA’s objective was to capitalize on a full agricultural season to work with demonstration farmers in 31 communes, sensitize local population about climate change and its impacts upon Mali, put hectares under improved technologies and to apply the findings from both the behavioral baseline and the mid-line, which indicated that farmers need continued support in term s of drought resistant seed, fertilizer and pesticide. We accomplished the following: FY19 Achievements: Result 1 • Trained and collaborated with 365 relais Communautaires (focal points) • Supported workshop wherein representatives from four Groupe Local d’Assistance Météorologique, four Groupe Communal d’Assistance Météorologique au Monde Rural and six focal points from the MCCAA project – along with representatives
