Abstract

USAID/Mali, through the Food Security II Cooperative Agreement with the Department of Agricultural Economics of Michigan State University (MSU), is supporting research and outreach activities aimed at strengthening the links between agricultural productivity growth and improved child nutritional status in Mali. A key focus of the work is on understanding how income growth resulting from increased agricultural productivity interacts with non-income factors to affect child nutritional status. This work is being jointly implemented by MSU, the Institut du Sahel (INSAH) and the Malian Ministry of Health. One of the aims of the project is to strengthen the capacity of the Ministry's newly created Food and Nutritional Monitoring Division (DSSAN) to carry out multi-disciplinary studies to monitor and identify ways of improving child health and nutrition in the country. This paper summarizes some of the preliminary findings of this ongoing work.
