Sini Niè Sigui: Emergency response and agricultural recovery

Barely emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic, Mali was hit with sanctions in early 2022 that contributed to high inflation and prices throughout the country. Russia's invasion of Ukraine further increased food prices in Mali as both countries involved in the war were major suppliers of fertilizer, grain, and fuel.  Particularly in the Baraoueli district of Ségou, the cost of agricultural inputs/fertilizers increased by 22%, livestock feed by 60% and fuel by 64%.

To cope with the rapidly growing needs, Lutheran World Relief collaborated with our long-term local partner Union of Cooperative Societies of Tamani Breeders (USCET) to provide emergency response to vulnerable households as well as recovery interventions to support their 2022-2023 agricultural season. Lutheran World Relief also partnered with Wizall Money to support the project's e-voucher system and low cost pricing efforts.
