If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to the Bank’s website, the objective of the Second Mopti Rice Project in Mali was to affect at full development about 13,000 families (90,000-100,000 people) in an area with an incremental paddy production of about 34,000 tons in an area of low economic activity. The project centered on: (a) construction of four polders (together, 8800 ha), (b) improvement of polders developed under the first rice project, (c) deep ploughing of the newly developed polders and of 14,285 ha of polder, (d) construction of stores, workshops, offices, houses, and training centers, (e) acquisition of vehicles, machinery, equipment, and two ferries, (f) an applied research and a credit program, and (g) technical assistance.

Modest expansion in the cultivated area through the construction of new polders, and consolidation of the existing project through some supplementary investments and through a strengthening of the project authority, ORM. The Second Mopti Rice Project will comprise: Construction of four polders with a total area of 8,800 ha; some improvements of polders developed under Credit 277-MLI; deep ploughing of the new polders as well as about 14,300 ha in existing polders; construction of storage facilities for paddy, farm inputs and farm equipment, of workshops, training centers, offices and staff houses; acquisition of farm machinery, civil works maintenance equipment, ferries, vehicles, workshop and office equipment; establishment of an adult literacy program for villages in the project area and an audio-visual program to be used by extension services; applied agricultural research; agricultural credit for fertilizer and farm implements; technical assistance for project management and ORM staff and operating costs during the project period to the extent that they are attributable to the expansion of the project area.
