United Nations Capital Development Fund (Mali)

UNCDF has been present in Mali since 1982. Over the past three decades UNCDF has worked to improve Mali's planning capacity and management of local development, particularly in municipalities that are highly vulnerable to food insecurity.

Today, UNCDF offers “last mile” finance models that unlock public and private resources, especially at the domestic level, to reduce poverty and support local economic development.

Through Local Development Finance, UNCDF is implementing the Finance for Food (F4F) programme by investing in infrastructure for improved food security, and helping the government make food security a central part of local planning and budgets.
