Page contents

    The commune of Sio in the Mopti Region of Central Mali is an agro-pastoral territory that is significantly affected by profound socio‐spatial transformations, increasing pressure on natural resources exacerbated by climate variability, and a persistent security crisis. The interaction of these factors has intensified rivalries among rural communities, undermined social cohesion, weakened livelihoods, and posed serious threats to food security.
