Over the past few years, countries in West Africa including Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso, have seen a significant deterioration of their security situation. The security crises have led to forced population displacements. These population displacements, coupled with an increasing number of violent events, have led to the abandonment of many cultivated lands. To better understand the impact on food security and livelihoods in hard-to-reach areas, World Food Programme (WFP), Regional Bureau for Western Africa, has developed a methodology that relies on high-resolution satellite imagery to assess cropland change dynamics. This report aims to highlight the good practices and lessons learned from the cropland change analysis in Mali.
