Although Mali possesses ample water sources for irrigation, inadequate infrastructure and the high cost of harnessing these resources limit their potential. The project area is the Ké- Macina region, a key rice-growing area located northeast of the capital Bamako. Successes of an earlier project will be expanded by
- rehabilitation of an additional 3,160 ha;
- enhancing social services for around 1,250 families in 10 villages;
- upgrading and enlarging a main irrigation canal;
- installing a 100 km drainage network; and
- construction of social infrastructure.
