TIMBUKTU EXPANSION: KEY ACTIVITIES FOR THE MONTH
In Timbuktu Region, L4G operates in three « Cercles » that include Nianfunké, Goundam, and Diré. During the period under review, 545 people including 173 women (32%) were trained by AMRAD, our contracting partner. Of those trained, 375 were from Goundam, 115 from Dire, and 55 from Nianfunké. Topics/themes covered during these trainings included agro-forestry tree planting, forage production, and protection of forage crops from weathering. Thanks to the FFS (Farmer Field School) and ToT (Training of Trainers) approaches, AMRAD also trained farmers and agro-pastoral producers to become leaders in functional literacy and numeracy/computation techniques.
Besides these trainings, AMRAD also ran awareness raising campaigns in several villages to convince producers to adopt improved livestock raising techniques, group saving schemes, while facilitating the formation of women and youth platforms.
Table 1 below provides details about the seed distribution that occurred among OPs in Timbuktu.

1.1 ENHANCED TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION, DISSEMINATION, AND MANAGEMENT
TASK 1.1.1 MODERNIZE ANIMAL HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEMS L4G has been monitoring two private veterinarian businesses in Bankass Cercle. A third cabinet was given support, but the licensed veterinarian has been refusing to cooperate and share data. In any case, the two cabinets vaccinated about 17,987 animals against various diseases that included Pasteurolosis, and Black Leg. Their combined gross margin was $2,518 USD in June against $3,451 USD in May. The vaccination campaign is virtually over, however, owing to several factors that include the transhumance of the animals, limited vaccine stocks, and hunger season during which most pastoralists are usually reluctant to vaccinate their animals.
Table 3 below provides details on the vaccines administered as well as on revenues, and profits realized by the SVPPs.

TASK 1.1.2 DEVELOP AND DISSEMINATE MESSAGES ABOUT GOOD LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND ISSUES In late June, L4G signed contracts with seven (07) local radios in order to disseminate important messages on best practices in key programmatic areas, such as improved basic nutrition, hygiene, and trading of the animals. These radios were as follows:
Radio Orona in Koro Radio de Kopororana (Koro) Radio Kantiya in Baye (Bankass) Radio Séno in Bankass Radio Bandiagara Radio Kounary in Mopti Radio Jamana in Djénné
Monthly Report No. 32, June 2017 | Mali Livestock for Growth (L4G) 3 TASK 1.1.3 IMPROVE LIVESTOCK FORAGE AND ANIMAL FEED PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY To assist in increasing the forage production for animals, L4G distributed during the period under review several dual-purpose seeds in our intervention areas. These seeds included groundnut, cowpea, millet, sorghum, dolic, bourgou, and moringa. It is worth noting, however, that one seed supplier was unable to deliver the foundation seeds as expected. Table 4 below provides the details regarding the seeds that were distributed from June 11th through July 10th across the targeted “Cercles” of the project.

1.3 IMPROVED PASTURELAND AND WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
TASK 1.3.1 ASSIST PASTORALISTS AND LIVESTOCK FARMERS TO IMPROVE WATER POINTS FOR LIVESTOCK An open bidding for the supply of accessory technical equipment for the drilled water points in Koro and Bankass Cercles took place during the period under review. Several companies have applied and the applications are currently being reviewed. We hope to have a competent firm selected during this summer so that the practical work of fixing these water points can begin as early as September. As for the new zones, efforts are equally being deployed so that the geophysical studies can start without any further delays.
Monthly Report No. 32, June 2017 | Mali Livestock for Growth (L4G) 5 1.4 IMPROVED COMMUNITY LITERACY, NUMERACY, NUTRITION AND HYGIENE PRACTICES
TASKS 1.4.2 IMPROVE NUTRITION AND HYGIENE AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL BASIC TRAINING IN NUTRITION AND HYGIENE BEST PRACTICES FOR VILLAGE ANIMATORS (AV) IN DJENNE CERCLE During the period under review, L4G trained 25 POs out of 38 from Djenne “Cercle” in AEN and AEH practices. These POs specifically came from Madiama, Dandougou Fakala and Fakala Communes, respectively. These trainings will continue from July 11th to 13th in Bandiagara and from July 26th to 28th in Mopti.
CONTRIBUTIONS OF L4G TO THE USAID-GFSS PROGRAM: USAID is about to launch a new 5 years ‘program commonly referred to as Global Food Security Strategy or GFSS. To this end, L4G was given the opportunity to make contributions in view of improving the project. Our L4G nutrition Specialist provided contributions in terms of supplementary indicators under the Objective 3 of the program. These contributions were shared with the L4G M&E Specialist for finalizing during the month of June. PICTURE SHOWING PARTICIPANTS AFTER THEY HAVE RECEIVED THEIR TRAINING MANUALS ON AEN/AEH ON 07/07/17 IN DJENNE USAID PARTNERS’ MEETING IN MOPTI The 17th meeting of the USAID partners in Mopti took place on June 13th at Care. During this meeting, several issues of interest including ways of improving the synergy of action among partners were discussed. The partners are same as those reported in the previous reports. The next meeting is scheduled for August 8th at the Harande project Office. COMPONENT II. LIVESTOCK TRADE
2.1 STRENGTHENED MARKET LINKAGES AND ACCESS
TASK 2.1.1 IMPROVE VERTICAL LINKAGES TO BUILD TRUST AND SUSTAINABLE MARKET RELATIONSHIPS The L4G gender Coordinator facilitated the formation of the women platforms in Djenne, Mopti, and Bandiagara Cercles, respectively. A similar exercise is also anticipated to take place soon in the L4G expanded Region of Timbuktu. The women from the previously formed platforms in Koro and Bankass organized a planning meeting for their activities from June 29th to July 1st in Koro. The pictures below provide a few glimpses about this important activity that was fully managed by the women in the localities of interest.

TASK 2.1.2: STRENGTHEN HORIZONTAL LINKAGES TO ACHIEVE ECONOMIS OF SCALE Two major activities are being organized under this task. First, L4G in a partnership with the DRPIA- Mopti (Regional Department for the Industrial and Livestock Production Office) intends organizing a Tabaski fair for promotional sheep sales in Sevare. In French, it will be referred to as “BOMTABS” or “Bourse de Moutons de Tabaski á Sevare”. Secondly, both L4G and ILRI/MLTSP are also planning to undertake an exploratory business trip to Ivory Coast in July. This stems from the fact that the demand for sheep during the Tabaski period is usually very high in Ivory Coast. With that in mind, both L4G and ILRI/MLTSP representatives along with delegates from the Producer Organizations (POs) and fattener groups will go to Ivory from July 19th through 27th to explore potentially existing trade opportunities. In so doing, identified buyers from Ivory Coast will be linked with readily available suppliers of sheep from Mopti and Timbucktu during the Tabaski period. As a result, consistent business linkages for trade could be established between various actors of the livestock value chain from the two countries.

TASK 2.1.3: LINK AND IMPROVE ACCESS TO FINANCIAL SERVICES During the period under review, L4G worked with KIVA and RMCR—who is their representative in Mali to seek alternative ways of funding for the small holder producer groups and their members. In addition, has been also discussing with IESC and AWEP (African Women Entrepreneurship Program) in view of organizing a peer to peer exchange visit with the L4G women groups. Hopefully, such activities should help improve a better access to finance by our respective producer groups and their respective members.
IMPROVEMENT OF LIVESTOCK MARKET INFORMATION ACCESS: On July 7th, VOI, a consulting firm hired by L4G, launched at OMA, in presence of USAID representatives and ILRI/MLTSP, a pilot application program referred to as SUGU (market in Bambara Language). The purpose of SUGU is to help OMA (Mali Market Information System) produce real time livestock market information that would help in quick informed-decision making by the key actors in the livestock value chain in Mali. OMA in French stands for Office Malien des Marchés Agricoles. It operates as a parastatal Office under APECAM—which is the “Assemblee Permanente de la Chambre d’Agriculture du Mali”. Following the official launch, SUGU was taken to the field at the Niamana Livestock Market in Bamako for a practical demonstration. The preliminary results from SUGU look

Nine (09) people participated. This activity served as good preparation in anticipation of the OCA full exercise which is expected to start in August 2017.
2.2 DECREASED BARRIERS TO TRADE
In April, L4G organized a workshop on the issue pertaining to the barriers affecting the livestock trade both in Mali and in the sub-region. This workshop paved the way for a set of recommendations and actions to be implemented. Accordingly, L4G distributed the workshop procedures during the period under review to all concerned parties including the Government of Mali and Civil Society Organizations. The next steps will be to use the created task forces to lead the process and ensure that the various recommendations are implemented inclusively and without further delays. Considering that most internal barriers came from the Police, Douanes, and Gendarmerie (PDG), L4G will be actively working with Mali Justice to ensure a more effective and tactful sensitization of these departments during the months ahead. MONITORING AND EVALUATION (M&E)
Monitoring and evaluation activities during the period under review included the following:
Ensure on-going monitoring of data for fodder production and licking blocks, Process and analyze data collected by field agents for monthly reporting, Configure the configuration of AKVO for the seed distribution Organize AKVO training for field agents and coordinators from Djenné, Bankass, Koro, Mopti and TB2 Ensure routine gathering of data for established indicators. OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION
During the period under review, L4G hosted the working visits from the following STTAs: Clarisse Umutoni finalized her consultancy work on animal feed and debriefed both USAID and L4G Jamila White came to Mali and assisted in assuring the interim for the COP while he was away for two weeks Jeff Street, the designer of SUGU, came to Mali for the launching and demonstration of his LMIS apps Both L4G and ILRI/MTSP worked with the DLEC experts to finalize the SOW that will pave the way for a digital farmers’ extension and advisory services in Mali Evis Farka from AECOM-Arlington came to Mali to facilitate the second quarterly event as well as the 2018 Annual Work plan Henri Tichoux from AECOM-Canada came to Mali to facilitate the second quarterly event as well as the 2018 Annual Work plan
Marcus Kendrick also arrived from the Head Office in order to provide some additional backup while several senior staff are planning to be away for their Summer vacation.
