This new UNDP publication is a review of the Multifunctional Platform Project in Mali, where in working with the government of Mali, UNDP sought to promote an integrated, multidimensional approach to reducing rural poverty. Rural women who benefited from the platforms experienced a significant reduction in the burden associated with typical household tasks as well as savings in the time devoted to these activities, which have allowed them to engage in income-generating opportunities and improve their overall socio-economic position.
