The farmers contacted were satisfied with what they learned about CES / DRS (Soil and water conservation / Soil defense and restoration). They are determined to continue applying this knowledge for the 2017 rainy season with or without the project. In addition, the mission had a meeting with the Sahel Institute (INSAH), based in Bamako, to exchange ideas on ways of working together for the post-2017 phase.
Following this mission, Mali CWP and its partners have adopted the internal statutes and regulations of the National Platform for Integrated Drought Management in Mali during a meeting on 15 June 2017 in Bamako.
