      abstract = {Today, the processes of decentralization and  democratization are fundamental aspects of sustainable  human development in Mali, and have a considerable impact  on all strategies and policies involved in agricultural  development.  The role and responsibilities of the state  are limited to missions of protection and of public  administration.  Most activities related to economic  management and development programs have been transferred  to civil society and local populations.
The aims of the new  Plan for Rural Land Development are to encourage greater  flexibility and to make the related strategies and policies  more consistent.  Of particular interest are the  following:
· National environmental protection policy
·  Strategy for poverty reduction and accelerated growth
·  National strategy for irrigation development
The  institutions responsible for implementing these policies  are handicapped by lack of skilled and experienced  personnel, uncertainty, and financial constraints.  All of  these problems must be urgently dealt with.  Inappropriate  land law and weakened traditional management regimes also  make it particularly difficult to solve the numerous land  conflicts that arise.  This problem poses a significant  threat to attempts to establish sustainable natural  resource management and land tenure security in irrigated  areas.  The authors assess these problems and recommend  strategies for addressing them.},
