In recent years, a combination of political upheaval, regional conflicts, mass displacement, and climate change has meant that Malians are increasingly contending with food insecurity. In response, Cordaid\u2019s Jege ni Jaba (JNJ) programme has a two-fold aim:\u00a0improve food security throughout the state and create economic opportunities within the value chains, particularly for women and youth. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jege ni Jaba <\/em>means \u2018fish and onion\u2019 in Bambara, an ethnolinguistic group from the upper Niger region of Mali. The West African country is home to over 80 languages and 21.9 million people, most of whom are under twenty-five. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We met some project leaders, experts, young people, and women involved in Jege ni Jaba, particularly the aquaculture sector in and around Bamako. Here\u2019s how the project has changed their lives and communities. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
