Abstract

The SmAT-Scaling Project is funded by USAID operating under the guidance of the USAID/Mali’s
Feed the Future (FtF) strategy and implemented by a consortium headed by the World Agroforestry
Centre (ICRAF) in partnership with Catholic Relief Services (CRS), Aga Khan Foundation (AKF),
World Vision (WV), Inter Church Cooperation (ICCO), Mali Biocarburant S.A. (MBSA), Near East
Foundation (NEF), Institut d’Economie Rurale (IER) and Regional Directorates of Agriculture, Water
and Forest (DRA&DREF). It aims to strengthen the value chain of tree products, improve the
nutritional status and food security of the targeted population, and build local capacity. The overall
objective of the project is to enhance access to and use of tree-based climate-smart technologies
(including fodder) through effective scaling-up of already-developed and proven climate-smart
technologies and improved market access, in order to increase food and nutritional security, as well as
build resilience of farming systems in the ‘Feed the Future Zone’ of Mali. The project aims at
contributing to increasing agricultural productivity, market access, household income and consumption
of agroforestry-based products to improve the food security, nutrition and health status of rural women
and children in Mali. Research insights and outputs produced under the framework of the CGIAR
Research Program on Drylands Systems on both gender and youth were used to develop the
implementation and upscaling approach of this USAID- funded SmAT-Scaling Project
