Project Activity. At the third highest level of the Program, or the Project Activity level, the M&E Plan shall describe the results to be achieved within each Project Activity: (1) the Road Rehabilitation Activity; (2) the Energy Rehabilitation Activity; (3) the Regional Infrastructure Development Activity; (4) the Investment Fund Activity and (5) the Agribusiness Development Activity. The outcomes of each Project Activity (“Project Activity Outcome”) shall be understood to be directly attributable to the Compact interventions and measurable within an intermediate period during the Compact Term.
Project Activity. Guiding Questions or “Things to think about when beginning an Action Research project”: ● What do you want to LEARN as a result of this activity? ● What ISSUE are you going to explore? ○ What do you want to change? ○ What do you want to try? ● What STRATEGY will you use to gather information before and during the study? ○ How will you change your practice? (Intervention) ○ How will you know it has changed? (Data gathering) Every adult helping every child learn and grow every day! ● What kind of ANALYSIS will you do to find out if things have changed? ○ Did anything change as a result of your intervention? ○ How do you know?
Project Activity. Institutional Strengthening (the “Institutional Strengthening Activity”) Under the present division of jurisdictions, a number of entities have responsibility for the civil aviation sector in Mali in general and the regulation, oversight, management, operation, and development of the Airport in particular. The Ministry of Equipment and Transport has overall responsibility, with oversight and regulation of the civil aviation sector and airports delegated to a new independent agency, ANAC. The Airport’s maintenance and operation responsibilities are split between the air navigation service provider, ASECNA, for airside facilities and the Airport operator, Aéroports du Mali (“AdM”), for landside facilities. ASECNA is responsible for the “technical” aspects of the Airport, including the runway, taxiways, apron, airfield lighting, navigational aids, control tower, telecommunications and fire fighting and rescue facilities. AdM, in turn, is responsible for the “commercial” aspects of the Airport, including the passenger terminal, landside roads and parking, cargo terminal, flight kitchen and freight forwarders’ facilities. According to the existing institutional arrangements, both organizations operate and maintain facilities put at their disposal by the Government. Specifically, MCC Funding will support the following:
Project Activity. Niono – Goma Coura Road (the “Road Activity”) The Road Activity involves the upgrading of a key segment of the national highway network serving the Alatona zone, providing vital access to inputs, markets, and social services to the Alatona zone and other farmers in the northern sector. The Niono-Goma Coura road forms the first 81 km of a 000 xx xxxx from Niono to Tonka, recently reclassified as Xxxxxxxx Xxxx 00. It is presently an earth road with laterite surface and varying width of 6 – 7 meters, which has been compromised by erosion of the embankment slopes. The laterite is worn away in numerous locations, leading to washouts and difficult driving conditions during the wet season. Specifically, MCC Funding will support the following:
Project Activity. Land Allocation (the “Land Activity”) Through the sale of irrigated land under the oversight of a selection commission, land will be allocated to small-, medium-, and large-scale farmers. A selection commission will select land recipients according to pre-defined criteria, and enforce safeguards designed to ensure transparency and fairness. The recipients will purchase the land at prices that are both affordable to farm families, yet high enough to discourage speculation. Land payments will be managed by private financial institutions, and land registration capacity will be bolstered. MCC Funding will support education and dissemination of information about land rights, benefits and responsibilities, and the allocation process in order to execute land allocation in an effective manner and for long term land management. In addition, the Alatona Irrigation Project will establish year-round market gardens for growing vegetables, to provide the women of the Alatona zone with an independent source of family income. This market garden opportunity supplements the opportunity women will have to receive larger land parcels though the selection commission process. Specifically, MCC Funding will support the following:
Project Activity. Agricultural Services (the “Agriculture Activity”) The Agriculture Activity will focus on the basics of irrigated farming and will support a range of interventions that target capacity building, support, and techniques for rice, shallots, livestock and crop integration, and women’s vegetable garden production. During the first two years of the Alatona Irrigation Project, while the road and core irrigation infrastructure are designed and constructed (the pre-settlement phase), efforts will focus on building an institutional environment and testing agricultural, marketing, and water management practices focused on achieving farm profitability. The Project Activity will be conducted in pre-existing ON irrigated perimeters involving, to the extent feasible, collaboration with the ON, existing institutions, and entities. The pre-settlement phase will allow for the development, testing, and piloting of activities to be transferred and scaled up to the newly developed perimeter. Specifically, MCC Funding will support the following:
Project Activity. Financial Services (the “Finance Activity”) The Finance Activity will support agricultural development in the Alatona zone by promoting a sustainable, inclusive financial system and improving farmers’ access to credit. Interventions will be focused on encouraging local financial institutions to move into the Alatona zone and on building their capacity and willingness to meet the financial services needs emerging from activities supported by the Alatona Irrigation Project. The Finance Activity will encourage financial institutions to lend to clients that have good prospects of success but may lack sufficient collateral or a suitable record of transactions to prove creditworthiness. It will also provide support to the ON Credit Bureau to strengthen its capacity to increase transparency among MFIs in the region. Direct support will also be provided to farmers to improve access to credit for first-time borrowers. Specifically, MCC Funding will support the following:

Project Activity. Strategic Network of Connecting Roads (the “Connecting Roads Activity”) Under current conditions, many rural roads in the Northern Zone are virtually impassable without a four-wheel drive vehicle. In addition, considering the high rainfall and flooding levels common in the region, these roads are not only inefficient, but also dangerous. By improving approximately 240 km of primarily dirt roads to modified tertiary road status, the Connecting Roads Activity will connect vast rural areas of the Northern Zone with the NTH and with the existing paved road network. The improvement of connecting roads will improve transportation linkage and reduce transportation costs and time. Northern Zone residents will have mobility within their hometowns and will have access to territories beyond their usual boundaries. Subject to modifications based on findings of the feasibility study, NCR can be described by road segments, as follows: Road Segments Length (km) VT1: San Xxxx Cancasque - Potonico - Cerrón Grande - Jutiapa - Tejutepeque y Ramal 23.04 VT4: Ilobasco - Presa 5 de Noviembre 32.4 VT8: X.
