Resumen
Descripción
In the early 1990s, the village
associations (AV) in the Koutiala regions of southern Mali
had an issue to sort out with the Malian Textile Company
(CMDT) and won the case. Encouraged by the success, they
united efforts again to address other problems and evolved
into a union (SYCOV). The SYCOV represents a second stage in
local empowerment in rural areas of southern Mali and
illustrates some of the benefits possible through the actual
transfer of economic authority into the hands of
farmers' associations.
