AKDN's activities in Mali date to the signature of an agreement in 2003. Since that time, activities have grown to encompass cultural restoration projects in Mopti, Timbuktu and Djenne, as well as economic development projects ranging from investments in the water, electricity and aviation infrastructure sectors to packaging for agricultural products and other products. A new coordinated area development project involving health, education, microfinance and civil society strengthening is also underway in the Mopti region.
In Mali, AKDN’s health efforts concentrate on infant and maternal health. In the picture above, traditional midwives (in yellow and orange) greet the newly arrived matrone, or midwife (in green), in a case de santé, or health post, in Guidiowel, near Mopti, Mali.
