Diagnostic Report of the Evangelical Development Agency of Mali

The Evangelical Development Agency of Mali is a national NGO under Malian law which like other large NGOs contributes to the development of Mali in the fields of education food security and the supervision of solidarity groups village savings... Intervening in the circle of Koro in the region of Mopti it has been able to make the rural world its hobbyhorse and its preferred target. Like any serious organization wishing to be more efficient in order to bring a consequent answer to the concerns of its target population it accepted under our advice this diagnosis that we had the honor to carry out in our capacity of Technical Assistant of the NGO. Like all other Malian NGOs it is plagued by organizational and logistical problems and weak staff capacities but this does not prevent it from achieving the expected results. Our findings based on direct observation and surveys have enabled us to detect the weaknesses and shortcomings of the NGO but also its strengths and assets and finally to propose recommendations to give it a new dynamic.
