UN Launches Irrigation Project Supporting Mali Farmers
A local farmer collects hay from a rice field near Timbuktu, Mali.
As part of its so-called Quick Impact Project supporting three farmers’ cooperatives in this area, Amadia, Koroyomme and Daye, the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) has funded fuel for the water pumping stations used to irrigate rice fields.
