background

Mali is exposed to the effects of climate change, including droughts, floods and other natural disasters. Faced with these phenomena, the country's adaptation and resilience capacities are becoming weaker and weaker.
There is a variable rainfall trend tendentially downward and gradually decreasing from south to north, deforestation steadily increasing and floods that regularly affect some territories.


Since the 1970s, the rise in average temperature has been observed throughout Mali. By 2080, the average annual temperature of Mali will increase by 3 to 4 ° C compared to the annual temperature in 1980.


In Mali, climate change has been manifested by the decline in average annual rainfall. Indeed, during the period 1971-2000, an average decline of 20% across the country was observed compared to the period 1951-70.
The future climate scenarios predict an increase in the intensity and frequency of climate risks followed by intense rainfall and floods.


From 1980 to 2007, Mali experienced two major floods that collectively impacted more than 3, 000, 000 people. The areas most affected by the floods in the last 30 years are located in the regions of Kayes, Koulikoro, Segou, Sikasso, Mopti, Gao, Timbuktu and the District of Bamako.


The floods in 2010 caused 111 deaths, destroyed 6, 052 homes, 12, 000 hectares of flooded farmland and led to the widespread destruction of infrastructure, including bridges and roads.


In Bamako, in August 2013, floods affected more than 34, 000 people, of whom around 20, 000 were displaced. These floods resulted in the deaths of 37 people and the loss of 280 homes.


In 2014, 98.5% of economic losses due to disasters were attributable to floods, for an estimated average value of 25 098 255 000 FCFA per year.


Several institutional, technical and financial obstacles also hamper Mali's efforts to effectively reduce and manage the consequences of floods.

These obstacles include:

· Insufficient capacity of national institutions to effectively predict floods and other climate risks;

· Lack of knowledge of flood management techniques;

· The lack of skills and resources of planning authorities at the local level (communes and villages) to effectively assume flood risk management responsibilities;

· Limited dissemination of information and alert to affected local communities.

The phenomenon of floods is frequent in the world because of climate change. This justifies the UN Declaration on the Prevention of Natural Disasters over the period 1990-1999, the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction of 2000, the Hyogo (2005-2015) and Sendai ( 2015-2030) to reduce the risk of disasters.


Mali, like other countries in the world, took an active part, in 2015 in New York in the United States, in the adoption of the United Nations Development Agenda for 2030 by 20 -sept (17) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) broken down into 169 targets, which came into effect on January 1, 2016.


Mali ratified the African Regional Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction and its Action Plan (2005-2015) adopted on July 8, 2004 and the Cooperation Agreement Establishing the West African Center for Research and Scientific Services on Disaster Risk Reduction. Climate change through Law No. 2014-035 of July 17, 2014.


In 2016, the Government of the Republic of Mali adopted a single reference document for development policies and strategies, called the "Strategic Framework for Economic Recovery and Sustainable Development (CREDD) 2016-2018".


The strategic axis of the CREDD (2016-2018): "Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Growth", takes into account the environmental challenges, including those related to climate change, in its Priority Area 5 and particularly in its specific objective 12 entitled "Promoting green economy through natural resource management and an effective fight against global warming ".
In Mali, environmental management is governed by the National Environmental Protection Policy (PNPE) adopted in 1998, the aim of which is to "ensure a healthy environment for sustainable development by taking the environmental dimension into account. any decision that affects the design, planning and implementation of development policies, programs and activities through the empowerment of all actors ". Its implementation focuses on national, regional and local action plans related to Rio's international environmental conventions (1992) ratified by Mali.
In addition, in the context of building resilience and adaptability to climate and natural disaster risks, several actions have been carried out to integrate Climate Change Adaptation (CC) into the PDESC in some areas. local authorities.
In 2014, the National Climate Change Policy (NCCP) and an action plan were adopted. Its implementation has resulted, among other things, in the development of the National Strategy on Climate Change and the implementation of numerous programs and projects by several state and non-state actors in many sectors.
The National Social Protection Policy and its 2016-2018 Action Plan were approved by Decree No. 2016-0836 / P-RM of 01 November 2016. The National Strategy on Disaster Risk Reduction in Mali was approved by Decree No. 2016-0346 / P-RM of 19 May 2016.
It is therefore urgent to provide rapid responses to reduce vulnerability by providing access to essential services for the poorest but also to strengthen their resilience.
The project contributes to the achievement of the objectives of the priority area 12 of the CREDD mentioned above and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6, 11 and 13 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
It is possible to take steps to avoid this serious damage. For example, the investment of a total amount of CFAF 4, 991, 764, 050 in the production and dissemination of climate information, the implementation of an Early Warning System (EWS) and flood protection will contribute significantly reduce flood vulnerability of infrastructure, assets and livelihoods for 120, 000 households.
In view of these findings, the Government of Mali through the Ministry of Environment, Sanitation and Sustainable Development and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), initiated the PGICI. It is funded by the Global Environment Fund, UNDP and the Government of Mali.
The project will help reduce the vulnerability of local authorities to floods by managing climate risks and floods in order to preserve their lives and property.

Specifically, the project will take place in the district of Bamako and in the circles of Kayes and Mopti for:

Strengthen the technical and material capacities of administrative and local authorities to improve early warning systems for floods and the dissemination of information on climate risks;
Integrate climate and flood risk management into local development planning to strengthen the resilience of local communities;
Transfer climate risk management techniques and resilient floods to local communities to reduce their vulnerability.

IGPB 2019 BWPP Output 2.3 relates to the development and implementation of the Local Government Administrative Negotiations Strategy with the relevant departments of the Department of Economy and Finance for the PGICC to strengthen the financial capacities of local authorities for a timely response to climate hazards, particularly floods.
For the realization of this product, it is planned by the PGRCI among other activities, the recruitment of an international expert in finance to facilitate the negotiations with the competent departments of the department in charge of the economy and the finances as well as the other administrations . It was for the recruitment of this expert that the PGICC coordination initiated this study.
