Abstract

This bulletin briefly highlights the successes achieved by the Malian SIM over the last twelve years in improving the performance of Mali's agricultural sector and promoting the food security objectives sought by the reforms. It also examines the principal factors that have contributed to the establishment of a successful and sustainable SIM and the instrumental role played by support from USAID/Mali and the multi-donor Cereals Market Restructuring Program (PRMC). Finally, it discusses future challenges facing the SIM, which in 1998 was restructured and renamed the Observatoire du Marché Agricole (OMA).
