Contract Type FiledMay 22nd, 2013Michigan State University (MSU) proposes a thirteen-month funded extension of PROMISAM II covering the period September 1, 2012-September 30, 2013. The extension will provide critical assistance to the donor Agriculture and Rural Economy (EAR) working group in which USAID participates and to humanitarian structures in Mali to monitor closely the rapidly evolving food situation in the country, provide key information for the design of social safety nets for the food insecure, and analyze how Mali’s livestock export trade and land tenure situation have been affected by recent events. The objective of this assistance is to help ensure food security during a time of major unanticipated political upheaval, and thereby hasten the return to a situation in which USAID’s planned Feed The Future activities can resume.
