Grant Description

The agreement with KfW will support the PNIP (Programme National d'Irrigation de Proximité, 2012-2021) developed by the Government of Mali (GOM) with the objective of developing 126,000 hectares benefiting potentially 3 million people with an estimated cost of FCFA 396 billion ($ 792 million USD).

Based on average costs for irrigation installations provided to us by the German Cooperation it is estimated that on average 12 irrigation structures (approximately 480 hectares) will be constructed over the period of 4-years.

It should be noted that both the size and cost of these structures will vary depending upon site conditions (both opportunities and constraints).

In addition to the infrastructure development, KfW, through GIZ will provide technical assistance and aid the communities to manage, maintain, and operate the infrastructure for maximum benefit by increasing their capacities.
