A national workshop was held during August 2002, as a final part of a major FAO Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) project, Training and the Insertion of Young People into the Agriculture and the Rural Sector.
The analysis took into account the macro-economic situation of the country; the demographics of young people in the target age range, 8 to 35; existing relevant education and training opportunities; access to resources; current perspectives for employment in terms of supply and demand; and special problems facing young people seeking employment in rural areas.
Given that the age range is fairly broad within the definition of youth by the Government of Mali, the Strategy sub-divided the target population into three categories: education for the youngest, professional training for adolescents and actually finding employment opportunities for the older age group.
