Through this exchange visit, participants from the villages of Dianweli and Simina (common Konna), Saba, Noga and Abdramane (common Dialloub\u00e9) in north-central Mali, learned about the gardening technics and dike construction experiences in the Bambarawel.<\/p>\n
The visitors went to the dike and explored the women garden fence that were built on bare hands, over a distance of 2800 meters in 60 days to protect an area of 27 hectares.<\/p>\n
The quality of the dike was positively appreciated by all representatives of Simina, Dianweli and Saba. These three villages are often worried about the safety of their homes because of the water flowing nearby after every rainstorm. However, the dike surrounding the villager\u2019s vegetable garden (PIV) is sufficient to protect the village against rainwater.<\/p>\n
The exchange visit offered also a chance to residents to acquire skills to better manage their vegetable gardens. The visitors informed them that currently in the town of Dialloub\u00e9, it is rather family and individual plots, between 30 to 40 hectares each, which are farmed and not villager\u2019s vegetable gardens. They became more aware of the importance of these farms in such areas.<\/p>\n

The garden is operated on a land of one hectare. It is sufficiently supplied in water by two wells. Onion and cabbage are the main crops cultivated within.
\nDiscussions were also centered on the technical patterns to observe for some crops like onion, okra, peppers.<\/p>\n
This exchange visit was beneficial to the participants of the PfR program village\u2019s members in the area of Konna and Dialloub\u00e9. It enabled them to see the level of commitment of a beneficiary village of the PADIN project in strengthening their resilience to climate change impacts.<\/p>\n
