General
Four INGOs led by Diakonia have submitted an application for the development intervention “Local Democratic Governance” (LDG), phase 3 in Mali during the period 2014-2017. The overall development intervention cost is approximately 76 MSEK.
The intervention aims to improve inclusiveness and accountability of land governance and prevent conflict linked to land management in Mali. This will be achieved through the implementation of four components with the following results:
1) Improved performance of local land management arrangements;
2) Improved ownership of local government authorities in land and natural resources management;
3) Improved the performance of citizen control for accountability between stakeholders involved in land and natural resources management;
4) Improved sustainable use of agricultural land and other natural resources (forests, grazing, water). The four INGOs i.e Diakonia, Norwegian Church Aid, SNV and Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation will implement the intervention together with local Civil Society Organisations.
The intervention is supported solely by Sweden and it is planned that the four INGOs will forward funds to their local partners.
