The SSE Program in Mali : Possibilities and proposals for an improved coordination

Abstract

The implementation of the SSE- program is organized through three different channels, viz. multilateral organizations, NGOs and research institutions, and supported activities can be categorized as programs, projects and research activities. These three channels of disbursement were supposed to have a degree of interaction from which were expected mutual benefits, synergy and compatibility of the activities and the achievements.

When the program was conceived, it was presupposed that the comparative advantage of each partner and partner institution would be used to the benefit of the program as a whole, as each partner would not only support and complement each other, but would also do what they were best qualified for. In this way the overall impact of the program could be more than the sum of its different elements.
