 Mali: Mali Modern Mills (M3) Project

SAP Projet Number: P-ML-AAG-003

Introduction
The Mali Modern Mills (M3) is a company belonging to the Group Keita and created in 2007.
During 4 years of operation, its turnover increased by 72.5%. That indicates the strong
potential of the Malian and regional market in the food sector. M3 intends to focus on the
need for pasta and couscous, which are mainly imported, by creating factories for producing
pasta and couscous. The project is justified by the existence of a buoyant market for
structured companies such as those of the Keita Group.

The project is located approximately 230 km from Bamako, in the Rural Commune of
Sébougou which is almost melted in the city of Ségou. It is located on a plot involving eight
contiguous land titles (TF No. 1133-1140 ) with a total area of 7 ha 15 a 38 ca, all belonging to
the Company M3. The town is under the supervision of the Sous-Prefect of Ségou. The
project’s influence extends to the rural commune of Sébougou and Ségou and its
surroundings.

1. Project description
The project involves the installation of units more or less related for the production of
couscous and pasta. These include silos for the storage of raw materials (hard wheat, soft
wheat, maize, millet and sorghum), three (03) mills for the production of meal and flour to be
used to supply production lines. These lines will be used in the production of long pulp,
short pasta and couscous based on mixing, baking, drawing, cutting, screening, drying,
wrapping and the package.

Associated facilities include: boilers (steam and hot water), air compressors (compressed air
production), refrigerators (cooling water production), and electric transformers (conversion
of equipments’ voltages).

The waste product (cereals bran) is valued by the production of cattle feed for which there is
a production unit.

The project will result in the creation of 123 direct jobs for a total investment of 26.058 billion
FCFA.

2. Political and legal framework

In Mali, the political and legal framework for the protection and preservation of the
environment and the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment build on the key legal
and regulatory texts including:
- The Strategic Framework for Growth and Poverty Reduction

2
- The National Policy for Environmental Protection
- Mali Industrial Development Policy Document (October 2004)
- Law No. 01-020 / of 30 May 2001 on pollution and nuisance
- Decree No. 08-346/P-RM of June 26, 2008 as amended, relating to the environmental
and social impact study
- Order No. 07-2652 / MS-SG of 26 September 2007, fixing the rates for fixed fee of
authorization on the food market, animal feed and food additives and its
management.
- The investment code, currently in force in Mali, was established by Act No. 2012-016
of 27 February 2012 and its implementing Decree No. 2012-475 / RM 20 August 2012.

There are international legal instruments ratified by Mali, relevant to the project:
- Declaration on Environment and Development (Rio, 1992)
- Objectives of the Millennium Development Goals (New York, 2000)

3. Objective of the ESMP and methodological approach

The main objective is to provide M3, its partners and policy makers a tool for the
environment respect and protection in the context of the couscous and pasta project’s
implementation. That involves the prevention of environmental degradation and
deterioration of the living conditions of populations due to M3 project’s implementation,
information and participation of stakeholders at various stages of the project and the
protection of the project riparian communities.

The study was conducted through a participatory approach involving all stakeholders. For
the establishment of the initial state, the literature review, collection of data from technical
services and the mayor have been used. There was also noise measurements and air testing.
Impact identification was made using the Leopold matrix that connects the elements of the
project (sources or impact factors) with the environment components. The impact assessment
was made by the equation Aucamp: Importance = Probability x Consequence where
Consequence = Severity + spatial extent + time. Mitigation or enhancement measures were
proposed, based on legal requirements, best practices and suggestions of stakeholders
consulted.

4. Context

Climate: The climate is Sahelian, characterized by an average annual rainfall of 597 mm. The
average annual temperature in the region is 25.9 ° C with the peak 41.7 ° C in April. It winds
in the area at an average rate of about 1 to 1.5 m / s. The air humidity ranges from 30 to 94%.

Soil: The soil is composed of two units: the topsoil with a thickness of 20 cm and the gray
sandy loam with a thickness of about 1.80 m, suggesting a high permeability.

Landscape: the landscape is made up of three layers namely the Boulevard 2000, residential
homes up to approximately 4m and two storey houses and more and structures of the
existing M3 factory.

Surface waters: they are mainly represented by the Niger River with a basin of
approximately 134,000 km² in Ségou.

4
Groundwater: At the study area, we distinguish two main aquifers which are: Continental
terminal quaternary aquifer and recovery aquifer or shallow aquifer. The project will supply
through the first.

The soundscape: The Existing factory and traffic on the Boulevard 2000 are the two major
noise pollution factors in the project area. Diurnal measurements yielded levels between 37
and 53dB for the immediate environment and between 52 and 76.9 dB in the factory. For
night extent, levels are between 37 and 56.7 dB for the immediate environment and between
44.5 and 66.3 dB at the factory. The project is located in a residential complex that is a
sensitive receptor area. The existing noise levels do not exceed the World Bank standards.

Air quality: The University of Mali Chemistry Analytical Laboratory sampled sulfides and
suspended particles. The major components of particulate matter are the sulfates, nitrates,
ammonium chloride, sodium, carbon, minerals, and water. In view of the measurements
results, the air quality in the project area is poor.

Socio-economic environment

Population: In the area, villages are managed by a village chief and his advisors while
households are managed by a head of household. According to the projections of the Local
Service for Planning, Statistics, Information, and Population (SLPSIAP), the population of the
commune of Sébougou is estimated at 18,798 people with 9,625 women and 9173 men. 85%
of the population is between 0 and 45 years with 48% of working age. Bambara is the most
spoken language. Islam is the dominant religion with 95% of practitioners.

Education: Education is taught in 25 schools, of which (10) in the village of Sébougou.

Sébougou has ten school infrastructure including public/private schools and madrasas, first
and second cycle. The enrollment rate is 104.4 % for boys and 87.8% for girls in an overall
rate of 96% in 2012-2013. These rates are higher than the national rate. In 2012 - 2013, the
CAP identified 3076 students. The education sector has the support of NGOs Intervida and
Alphalog through the construction of infrastructure. There is a university in the project area
that trains in the field of agro business.

Health: At Sébougou, health is ensured by the Community Health Centre which has a staff
of 9 people. It possesses a drug deposit. The staff is supported in its work by villagers’ relays.
Care is paid but accessible to all users. The most common diseases are diarrhea, malaria,
respiratory infections, dermatitis and conjunctivitis. Complicated cases are sent to the Ségou
Reference Health Center, about 6 km. Self-medication is a common practice. The rate of
health coverage is 90 % and the CSCOM attendance rate is 80%.

Access to drinking water: There 17 public fountains, 8 drillings and 6 modern wells at
Sébougou. The need for water points in the village of Sébougou is estimated at 17 against
three existing. It is noteworthy to mention that many families have their own wells.

5
Cultural and archaeological resources: Within the project area, there are significant cultural
resources. These are Biton 7 vestibules, its tomb and the mosque he built for his mother.
Recall that Biton was the founder of the Bambara kingdom of Ségou.

Gender and status of women: They help physically and economically to the family life.
However, their involvement in decision-making is low. They face the overload of family and
work disadvantaged by their low level of education.

Production activities: Farming is managed by DRA, ON and ORS. We encounter there two
of agricultural systems types (pluvial and irrigated). Producers are organized into: Farmer
Organizations, Village Associations, informal groups and cooperatives.

Livestock is the second economic activity in M3 Project area but mainly practiced by the
Fulani. The livestock population is mainly composed of small ruminants (sheep / goats),
large ruminants (cattle), equine, donkeys and poultry.

Fishing is mainly practiced by the Bozo and Somono. Fisheries sector constitutes the main
activity of populations settled along the river. Fishing is individual, uses the net as
equipment and is practiced on the river. Nevertheless, fishermen are grouped in association.

Northern crisis context and food insecurity: Since January 2012, the northern Mali knows a
security and political crisis marked by the occupation of the three northern regions (Gao,
Timbuktu and Kidal) and part of the Regions of Mopti and Segou. That crisis led to the
displacement of 36,045 people in the area and the departure of about 100 tamasheques
families from the commune of Niono. We are witnessing a return to normal. By January
2013, approximately 55% had returned to their home areas. If that trend continues, there will
be no impact related to the project on food security in relation to the crisis in the north.

5. Community participation

It place in two phases. The first phase consisted of a perception survey of the neighborhood.
Perceptions and suggestions of respondents focused on existing activities on the M3 site.
They made some complaints and claims. Perceptions expressed are : youth employment at
the Sébougou plant, insect outbreaks from products handled by M3, crowded lanes by M3
trucks, air pollution and noise, the 'no’ channel communication with M3 and the need to
create income generating activities for women.

There was then a public consultation aimed for the Technical Services, the administrative
and political authorities, the civil society and communities. It was organized by the Prefect of
Segou who invited all stakeholders by circular. It was held in Bamanankan language that is
understood by the majority of the stakeholders in the meeting room of the City of Sébougou.
The perspectives of the stakeholders included:

 The recruitment of local labor (young women) to the plant;

6
  The creation of a framework for cooperation and dialogue between the people and
M3;

 Strict observance of the Labour Code ;

 M3 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) (accompanying the mayor in development

activities : roads, day safety, capacity building of CSCOM Sébougou) ;

 The fight against the proliferation of insects from the seeds ;

 Safety systems: the Civil Protection representative reported that the installation of fire
hydrants for such an installation is an obligation;

 The pollution (noise, dust) ;

 The decrease in the purchase price of products (pasta and couscous) ;

 The management and treatment of water through the construction of septic tanks;

 The risks out of stock of raw materials for the factory.

The points raised are also concerns for M3, which has made proposals for solutions in the
context of this study.

6. Impacts of the project

Impacts sources are : construction works, procurement of the plant with raw materials, seed
cleaning and packaging of grains (moisture combined action of heat), milling (grinding,
breakdown and converting, sifting, sluice), the manufacture of different products (kneading,
pressing and stretching or drawing, pre-drying and drying), packaging manufactured
products (bagging, packaging, cardboard, etc.), human presence, management of liquid and
solid wastes , the physical presence of facilities.

Environmental aspects, likely to be affected by the project are: air quality , sound
atmosphere, surface waters and groundwater, soil, landscape, jobs and the economy, local
entrepreneurship, cultural heritage, health and safety of people and workers, food for
communities.

The following impacts were identified and evaluated:

Soil: The earthworks and construction, transportation and storage of construction materials,
the installation of machinery and equipment will result in compaction, texture modification
and change of initial soil profile. The use of chemicals (cement, paint, anti rust, etc.),
hydrocarbon spills or lubricant and poor handling of chemicals such as detergents will result

7
in pollution and degradation of the soil chemical quality and the disruption of
microorganisms.

Landscape: the physical presence of the plant will make the elevators and roof
infrastructures individual elements in the local landscape.

Soundscape: the movement of vehicles and construction equipment, various works,

installation of machinery and plant equipment will increase the noise level of the area with
the risk of exceeding acceptable standards.

Air quality: The work generating dust, the operation of diesel engines, transportation of
friable materials, painting exterior surfaces will cause air pollution and deterioration of the
quality by dust, odor and air pollutants. Manipulation of the flour, which is a very brittle
product, the grains cleaning can release dust and that would impair the quality of the flour
particles in the air.

Surface waters: Earthworks, handling of chemicals on site, boiler operation and the human
presence could damage the water chemical quality (chemical contamination, hydrocarbon
and lubricant, etc.).

Groundwater: The storage and handling of hydrocarbons, the establishment of industrial

infrastructure (construction of the plant, serving network, etc.), and human activities on the
site could alter the quality of groundwater contamination by hydrocarbons and products
used on site.

Population: The nature of the project is such that it does not result in an influx of job seekers.
We can therefore conclude that the project will have no impact on the population and
demographics.

Employment and local economy: Dozens of laborers will work on the construction site. This
has the advantage of strengthening the technical capacity of local labor. The skills acquired
in this project will promote the access of workers with similar work on other projects. The
new M3 project will create 123 new direct and permanent jobs. It will inject tens of millions
of francs into the economy through workers. Tax receipts at Ségou will also increase. It will
promote the development of SMEs in the sale of M3 products.

Local entrepreneurship: The project will provide opportunities for local subcontractors in
several areas: construction, sale of goods and equipment related to the activities of the
project services (catering, cleaning, waste disposal etc.). The project will create favorable
conditions for the development of Malian firms in the areas concerned. The M3 project will
provide opportunities to provide services such as education, communication, advertising
and repairs. The project will create business opportunities for local SMEs.

Health and Safety: The implementation of the project’s industrial infrastructure, transport
and storage of materials, construction and plant operation will result in respiratory
problems, infections and diseases related to the development of pollution, the risk of injury

8
as a result of an accident. Seed cleaning and handling of flour inside the factory and shops
expose workers to dust-related and flour particles lung disease.

Conditions of women and gender: jobs chain for women will lower the unemployment rate
of women and improve their living conditions. The use of products will reduce the drudgery
of housework.

Communities’ food security: M3 production capacity exceeds Malian imports. Through this
project, M3 will lead to better products availability on the market. Consumers will be
protected from stock outs. M3 is committed to a quality policy through the establishment of
the ISO 9001 and SMSDA standards. It will therefore provide the market with good quality
products. By focusing on such factors as wheat fields in the ON zone, its warehouses, its
park for trailers and trucks as well as its customs duties exemption, M3 will supply the
market with competitive prices products.

The socio political and security context has improved considerably. In less than two years,
nearly 55% of the displaced refugees in Segou returned to their areas of origin. Cereal
production and consumption follows the same trend back to the pre-crisis situation.
Therefore, there is no conjunction between M3 supply on the local grain market and the
consequences of the current crisis in northern Mali to have food insecurity. That context is
supported by the SAP report which puts the project area among the areas unexposed to
insecurity during the 2013 - 2014 campaign.

M3 supply of raw materials on food security: The opportunity to generate immediate and
safe monetary resources created by M3 whet the appetite of communities in terms of cash.
Farmers will be tempted to sell their products without considering their actual food needs. In
the absence of support measures before and during the buying campaigns, they will thus be
exposed to food insecurity.

Communities’ food: M3 production capacity exceeds Mali imports. Through this project, M3
will ensure a better availability of products on the market. Consumers will be protected from
stockouts. M3 is committed to a quality policy through the establishment of the FSMS ISO
9001 standard. It will produce only products of assured quality. By focusing on such factors
as its wheat fields in the ON zone, these warehouses, park trailers and trucks and its
exemption from customs duties, M 3 will provide a more competitive price.

7. Impacts Mitigation and/or enhancement program

Soil: In order to reduce soil disturbance, the work will be limited to designated areas for
infrastructure, handicrafts are privileged to work with machines and heavy equipment and
prohibit the use of heavy machinery on wet soils. Specific areas will be defined for the
cement mixture M3 will set up the unused areas in lawns.

Contractors in charge of painting will cover the surfaces to be painted with plastic tarpaulin.
M3 will build containment systems around hydrocarbon and lubricant handling areas.

9
M3 will implement intervention kits comprising absorbing hydrocarbon lubricants to allow
intervention in case of resin accidental spillage. It will teach cleaning agents to discharge
water containing detergents through M3 sewer facilities system.

Landscape: In order to mitigate the project's impacts on the landscape, M3 will surround its
facilities with alignment trees. It will use paint colors that fit the local landscape and will
avoid bright colors. It will guide the light sources to the ground to make its facilities less
visible overnight at long distance.

Soundscape: Noisy work will be organized according to a schedule respecting the life of
local residents. There will be none in the evening nor early in the morning. It will be used
gear complying with the regulations regarding noise emissions and noise reducers will be
installed on machines that exceed the accepted standards. Workers will have in EPI to
protect against the effects of noise. The noise sources will be isolated to the extent possible. It
will put in place a plan for noise monitoring.

Air Quality: M3 will surround stocks of materials with a screen in order to prevent dust
hazard or completely overwrite the stock allowing access for loading and unloading. It will
water stocks outdoor and dusty areas, tarpaulin cover all trucks hauling loose materials.

M3 and its subcontractors will use equipment in good condition to reduce air emissions. M3
will use fuels with a sulfur concentration no more than 1 to 3%. It will install vacuums flour
particles inside facilities and ventilation in the cleaning and milling rooms. M3 will establish
a monitoring program for air quality.

Surface waters: M3 will connect the site pipe network to the septic tank and will direct all
sewage to that tank. It will construct and identify points for needs that require the use of
such water ablutions and cleaning and pulverize stagnant water points due to construction.

Groundwater: M3 will establish a system for recovery and use of rainwater for work during
the construction and sanitation during the operation. It will develop a waste management.

Employment, economy and local entrepreneurship: M3 will favor local residents and in
recruitment. It will explore the local market as much as possible to satisfy its needs for goods
and services. M3 will require contractors to combine the local workforce and include in its
contracts a clause on the transfer of skills and technology to the local workforce.

Health and Safety: M3 will create a position of HSE manager. He will erect signs indicating
the behavior to follow. The labor code will be strictly adhered to avoid excessive fatigue,
likely to be source of accidents. Net and harness will be implemented on workplaces in
height. Information and awareness campaigns will be organized to inform workers and call
for vigilance. Training on health and safety will be organized for the workers carrying out
the work. Waste management will be delegated to a GIE for transport to the discharge of
domestic waste. Companies will sensitize populations with regard to the health and
industrial safety. Workers will be provided with personal protective equipment in (PPE)
with binding port. Workers will be subject to regular medical visits.

 9. Institutional arrangement for the ESMP implementation
The ESMP implementation will be at two levels: national and internal at M3.

At the national level, the Inter-ministerial Committee for the ESIA Analysis will monitor and
follow up the implementation of the ESIA and ESMP recommendations. The leader is the
Ministry of Environment and Sanitation through DNACPN/DRACPN. In the M3 project’s
express context, other actors will be involved depending on the sectors concerned. This is
among other things: M3, DNPC, DRA, DCPD, DNS, Mayor of Sébougou, CCIM, microcredit
organizations and NGOs.

At the M3 level, we have the General Management, HSE officer and other departments who
will be responsible for the ESMP implementation. The HSE officer will be the interface
between the national level and M3 domestic level.
