Hirsutisme Secondaire a un Kyste Luteal de L'Ovaire Droit au Service de Medecine Interne et D'Endocrinologie de L'Hopital du Mali.
No full textLes auteurs rapportent le premier cas de kyste lutéal androgéno-sécrétant responsable d'une stérilité primaire documenté au Mali. Il s'agissait d'une femme mariée de 26ans, avec des antécédents d'hyper androgénie familiale de diabète et hypertension artérielle qui a consulté pour syndrome d'hyper androgénie et stérilité primaire. Hirsute avec la présence de poils au niveau du menton, des lèvres supérieurs, du thorax, des avant-bras, des bras, des jambes sous épilation ce qui faisait un score de Ferriman et Galloway à 10. Une échographie pelvienne couplée à une coelioscopie nous a permis de retenir le diagnostic de kyste lutéal. L'hyper androgénie chez la femme est rare et d'étiologie multiple parmi lesquelles le kyste lutéal
PROMIS Mali Endline Data 2017, Child Level
No full textThe dataset contains endline data (at the child level) of the impact evaluation in Mali of the “Innovative Approaches for the Prevention of Childhood Malnutrition” (PROMIS) project, which integrated a preventive intervention package into Community Management for Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programming in Mali and Mali. Using cluster-randomized designs, we evaluated the impact of integrating preventive services into screening for child acute malnutrition on acute malnutrition screening and treatment coverage and acute malnutrition prevalence and incidence. The PROMIS program sought to address the low screening coverage in Mali by integrating small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplement (SQ-LNS) into community-based screening for Acute Malnutrition.
The intervention was implemented by Helen Keller International through the national health system. Data were collected by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in collaboration with AfricSanté.</p

Long-Run Economic Growth and Policy: A Case about Mali
No full textA short case about long-run economic growth issues in the African nation of Mali is presented. Issues discussed in the case include challenges related to Mali's education system, investment, and trade. Basic facts and statistics about Mali are provided. Analysis of public policy issues and the inherent challenge of extreme poverty are natural outgrowths of the case. The case serves as a foundation for in-class discussion or a take home assignment. The basic case objective is to add real-world context to what can often be a very technical presentation of growth issues. Though designed for a principles of macroeconomics course, the case would also be appropriate for a development course or an international economics course. In addition to the case itself, comments on preparation for teaching the case, conducting discussion related to the case, and possible assignments to go with the case are provided. Also, a brief motivation for using cases in principles of macroeconomics is provided.case, economic growth, productivity, Mali
THE IMPACT OF MARKET REFORM ON AGRICULTURAL TRANSFORMATION IN MALI
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to review the Malian experience with cereals market reforms over the past 18 years and evaluate its contribution to agricultural transformation in Mali. We especially emphasize the importance of the interaction between sectoral reforms, macroeconomic reforms, and technological change in influencing farmers' and traders' incentives to make the investments necessary for agricultural and food system transformation. The paper draws heavily on a large body of research carried out by Malian, North American and European researchers since 1985 (see, for example, Dioné forthcoming; Dembélé and Staatz forthcoming; Diarra et al. forthcoming) and on a recent evaluation of the PRMC in which the authors participated (Dembélé, Traoré, and Staatz 1999; Shields, Staatz, and Dembélé 1999; Egg, 1999).Agricultural and Food Policy, Marketing,

Agricultural Research Impact Assessment: The Case of Maize Technology Adoption in Southern Mali
No full textAdoption of the improved maize package was particularly rapid during the period 1980-86 when an attractive guaranteed price was offered and extension activities were reinforced by a maize project that included the establishment of a seed multiplication program. Following cereal market price liberalization in 1986, maize prices fell and have been subject to considerable variability. Area has continued to expand, but farmers have greatly reduced fertilizer use, switched back to maize-late millet intercropping, and substituted early maturing varieties better suited to their own food security needs. The estimated internal rate of return (IRR) to investment in maize research and extension in southern Mali over the period 1969-90 is 135%. This high rate can be attributed to low research costs (much of the technical package was borrowed from research conducted elsewhere in West Africa), and the high economic value of maize as an import substitute. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the IRR is robust with respect to adverse changes in assumptions concerning overvaluation of the exchange rate, research costs, extension costs, and area of improved maize. It is moderately sensitive to price and yield reductions.food security, food policy, maize, Crop Production/Industries, Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies, Downloads June 2008 - June 2009: 26, R11,
Linkages between Banks and Microfinance Institutions in Mali: A Case Study
No full textMali, with a population of 11.7m, 70 percent rural, is located in the Sahel zone of West Africa. With a per capita income of US$245 and a Human Development Index rank of 174, it is among the poorest countries in the world, highly vulnerable to external impacts. --
Do remittances affect poverty and inequality ? Evidence from Mali.
No full textUsing a 2006 household survey in Mali, we compare current poverty rates and inequality levels with counterfactual ones in the absence of migration and remittances. With proper hypotheses on migrants and a selection model, we are able to impute a counterfactual income for households currently receiving remittances. We show that remittances reduce poverty rates by 5% to 11% and the Gini coefficient by about 5%. Households in the bottom quintiles are more dependent on remittances, which are less substitutable by additional workforce.Indicateurs de pauvreté; Mali; Envois de fonds; Travailleurs migrants;
