Le dialogue national, initié par le Programme Soil Values, sur le renforcement des synergies régionales pour la santé des sols et l’amélioration du fonctionnement des marchés des intrants agricoles (notamment les engrais) est à l'étape du Mali.
Un moment stratégique pour accélérer l’accès à des intrants de qualité et promouvoir la gestion durable de la fertilité des sols au Mali et dans la région du Sahel.
They commended the quality of the discussions and the commitment of the participants. This meeting marks an important step towards the implementation of integrated and sustainable landscape management in Bama.

Participants worked progressively and collaboratively during a workshop to establish and operationalize an integrated landscape management partnership in the municipality of Bama, Burkina Faso, organized by the Soil Values program and held from June 1st to 5th.
Participants also validated the change indicators and the partnership's monitoring and evaluation indicators. The workshop concluded with the presentation of the results and a discussion of the governance charter, which was then presented to local authorities.
Thank you to everyone who participated in Soil Values webinar on Bundle Boxes, an innovative approach developed by the Soil Values Program to improve soil fertility, strengthen climate resilience, and support the livelihoods of farmers in the Sahel.
Your questions, contributions, and discussions greatly enriched the conversation and demonstrate the growing interest in integrated solutions for more sustainable agriculture.
She also underlined an important perspective: “Bundle Boxes are not a set-in-stone formula: they will be prototyped, tested, refined, and adjusted in the field based on feedback and community perceptions, which often explain why certain technologies are rejected.”
During the webinar, “Bundle Boxes: An Integrated, Practical and Scalable Approach for Soil Fertility Management,” Fadila Garba, a Ph.D. student with the Soil Values Program, reflected on the research environment within the initiative.
She emphasized that beyond the quality of the research environment, what truly stands out is the openness, accessibility, and strong support within the team. Despite everyone’s responsibilities, it remains easy to connect with experts across the program and exchange ideas.
Jama’are (Bauchi, Nigeria) - Local stakeholders and partners of the #SoilValuesProgram met from June 8 to 11 to jointly develop a sustainable vision (2028–2033) for land management, inclusive governance, and soil restoration, with women and youth.
