Avec le GIZ Programme Mondial Sécurité Alimentaire et Renforcement de la Résilience, l'Allemagne apporte une contribution significative aux objectifs de développement durable (en particulier la SDG 2 - "faim zéro"). Le programme vise à améliorer durablement la nutrition et la résilience des personnes - en particulier des femmes et des enfants. Pour y parvenir, le Programme Mondial combine des mesures de différents secteurs, par exemple l'agriculture, la santé, la sécurité sociale et le WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene).
Due to political conflict, hundreds of thousands of people had to leave their homes in northern Mali in the last decade. Many have since returned to their home but struggle to regain their livelihoods. In the Timbuktu region, food insecurity is very high and 15 percent of children under 5 years old suffer from acute malnutrition. Goundam, one of the administrative districts of the Timbuktu region, is populated by livestock farmers. Among the previously displaced people, many have lost all their livestock, and with that their traditional means of livelihood.
