Decentralising investments in public goods to support agriculture and livestock-based economies and to build resilience for rural women

The proposed programme seeks USD 9,960,000 from the Green Climate Fund to scale up a Decentralised Climate Finance (DCF) model in Mali's Mopti region. It aims to benefit 720,000 people by establishing Local Adaptation Planning Committees (LAPCs) that identify and manage community-led investments. The funding is divided into three main investment windows: climate-resilient agriculture (50% of grants), livestock-based economies (10%), and drinking water for marginalised women (24%), with the remaining 14% dedicated to programme management and technical assistance.

• The Mopti region of Mali faces severe climate vulnerability, with average rainfall decreasing by 30% over 60 years, compared to a national average decline of 20%.
• Climate change significantly impacts Mopti's agricultural and livestock sectors; over 120,548 hectares of cropland (more than 11% of the region's total) have been affected by floods, droughts, and insect attacks.
• Poverty and gender inequality are primary barriers to adaptation in Mopti, where 64.6% of the total population lives in poverty and female-headed households experience a poverty incidence of 87.5%.
• The programme intends to reach 720,000 direct beneficiaries by expanding the DCF pilot from 24 communes to a total of 84 communes across 8 cercles in the Mopti region.
• The proposed financial mechanism uses Local Adaptation Planning Committees (LAPCs) to ensure inclusive decision-making, requiring each 11-member committee to include three women and two youth.
• The project allocates specific funding percentages to three priority areas: 50% for climate-resilient agriculture, 10% for livestock-based economies, and 24% for drinking water for marginalised women.
• The programme is managed by the Agence Nationale d’Investissement des Collectivités Territoriales (ANICT), which acts as a decentralised authority to reduce the high transaction costs associated with delivering climate finance to remote populations.
