We review the recent progress in understanding the Mott transition in disordered systems using the mean-field approach to the strong correlation problem. It is based on a new functional integral formulation of the disordered interacting electron problem. The saddle-point solution recovers a mean-field theory of the strong correlation problem, and becomes exact in the limit of large spatial coordination. We compare the results of the mean-field theory with experimental findings and indicate directions for future work.
