More about the contribution
MFC (Mali-Folkecenter Nyetaa) has applied to Sida for funding of 75 million SEK to carry out the "Innov-Rec" Project (Innovation Project through Digitalization, Promotion of Green Jobs) in Mali during the period 2021-2024. The so-called Innov.Rec program is designed to support the development and scale of locally relevant climate technologies in Mali. It aims to foster processes by which new ideas are developed to meet societal, environmental and economic needs in the time of climate change. Harnessing opportunities offered by the traditional sectors of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fisheries, health and sanitation, energy and transport, manufacturing, and services market, to name a few, local entrepreneurs are expected to creating new goods and services that embody climate technology. The program will bring incubation, capacity building and financing options to local entrepreneurs who develop innovations to meet the challenges of climate change. Through 5 Local Resources Poles (LRPs), deconcentrated structures of MFC, that will be set-up in-country and the capital city’s Technopole (based in Bamako) holistic support will be provided as well as the development, deployment, and transfer of locally relevant climate technologies. The program will also help local entrepreneurs to connect with sources of finance, providing them with the means to innovate. To do this, the program will rely on a multi-actor process involving both public actors, local entrepreneurs and civil society organizations. The Innov-Rec program seeks to contribute to environmental and economic resilience with links to peace and social cohesion. The program will be implemented according to the 3 axes as follows: Axis 1: employability and vocational training in the face of the challenges of climate change (green jobs, renewable energies and the productive use of these energies in jobs with high potential). Axis 2: Digitalization, inclusive finance and innovation for local economic growth, Local Resource Poles for the benefit of entrepreneurs, NGOs, associations, GIE and microfinance cooperatives). Axis 3: Consultation and inclusive dialog framework for climate resilience, and for peace, security and social cohesion at local and regional level. The intervention’s total budget financed solely by Sida is 76,5 M SEK, out of which 75 MSEK will be borne by MFC and the remaining 1,5 MSEK will be managed by the Embassy for final evaluation purpose.
