Sa mission consiste essentiellement à fournir à l’ensemble du système de sécurité alimentaire du pays les informations nécessaires à une affectation optimale du stock national de sécurité dans le cadre d'opérations d'aides alimentaires ciblées ou à une utilisation efficiente des fonds de sécurité alimentaire dans des actions d’atténuation d’insécurité alimentaire. Son objectif est de déterminer suffisamment à l'avance les populations les plus vulnérables risquant de connaître des difficultés alimentaires et/ou nutritionnelles, de dire les raisons du risque, de dire à partir de quand, pour combien de temps, avec quelle intensité et quelles sont les actions d’atténuation possibles. Les informations sont recueillies auprès des services administratifs, techniques, de la société civile et des élus locaux depuis les communes vers les chefs-lieux de cercles, les chefs-lieux de Régions et enfin Bamako. Au niveau de chaque chef-lieu de Région, l'équipe régionale SAP chargée du recueil des informations est appuyée par la Direction Régionale de la Planification, de la Statistique, de l’Informatique, de l’Aménagement du Territoire et de la Population.

In particular, thank you to the Acting Head of the Regional Health Department, partners and NGOs involved in the Timbuktu region: MSF, Solidarités, Handicap International, AVSF, the ICRC; and investigators who provided data collection at the household level as well as key informants and community volunteers who participated in the focus groups. 2 ©2013 International Medical Corps Summary In the current crisis in northern Mali, International Medical Corps conducted a multi-sectoral assessment in the Timbuktu region between February 1st and February 4th, 2013, the main points are summarized below: Health Serious failures of the health system have occurred during the period when the Northern district was controlled by rebel groups, for the following reasons: The Regional Health Department was looted and health personnel and members of communities health associations (ASACOs) have fled; Disruption of the supply chain for medication, nutritional inputs, and fuel; Disruption of the cold chain; Pillaging of buildings and equipment (ambulances, solar panels) The access to health services was deeply compromised for the inhabitants of the districts of Timbuktu, Goundam, Gourma- Rharous, and Niafunké. Three partners support the health services: MSF (since February 2012), Alima (mainly for the district of Diré) and the ICRC. However, they do not cover all the needs, and the access to health care remains a problem for the populations given the distances and difficulty of access.

  • The Last Song Before the War-PRESS KIT.Pages
    The Last Song Before the War PRESS KIT SYNOPSIS THE LAST SONG BEFORE THE WAR is a feature-length documentary that captures the power, beauty, and uncertain future of Mali’s annual Festival in the Desert. Told through stunning high definition footage captured at the 2011 festival, the film is a lyrical road trip through Mali, the birthplace of the blues, to the legendary city of Timbuktu where Grammy-award winning musicians play their hearts out in the dunes of the Sahara. Shockingly, the music and the festival were silenced in 2012 when the violent occupation of Northern Mali by extremists destabilized the entire Sahel !region. To date, the festival and hundreds of thousands of refugees remain in exile. ABOUT THE FILM From the bustling streets of Mali’s capital of Bamako to the exotic dunes of the Sahara, THE LAST SONG BEFORE THE WAR takes the audience on a high-definition journey to the most remote music festival in the world. The famed three-day event features Grammy-award winning musicians playing their hearts out in the Sahara Desert surrounding Timbuktu. Over the years, the Festival has attracted some of the biggest names in music from Bono, Robert Plant, Jimmy Buffet, Chris Blackwell (Island Records), and Tom Freston (former president of MTV). Anouk Zijlma of Africa Travel and the Association for the Promotion of Tourism to Africa (APTA) ranks the Festival in !the Desert as “one the most exciting annual events on the whole African continent.” The Last Song Before the War PRESS KIT The festival, in operation since 2001, was originally held in Essakane, a small rural village and commune near the Niger River, where musicians jammed amidst rolling sand dunes and an exquisite night sky, a reflection of the festival’s origins in the ancient nomadic Tuareg culture.
