World Bank Income Classification:Low Income
The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.
Least Developed Country:Yes
Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.
Gender Inequality Index:0.575
GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.
Gender Development Index:0.723
GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

The National government has seen a renewed engagement for gender equality specifically in the area of women economic empowerment. Despite the difficult situation in Mali, the local authorities have work toward the adoption of more gender sensitive macroeconomic policies and strategies. Hence, in collaboration with various ministries and national technical services, UN Women has supported key players such as the contracting authorities and technical advisors of 19 key ministries in integrating gender into public procurement and facilitating gender-sensitive reforms in public procurement. The Ministry of National Entrepreneurship, Employment and Vocational Training is in the process of adopting a gender-sensitive National Strategy for the Development of National Entrepreneurship, and has also had its most senior executives in 26 directorates and attached programs strengthened to integrate gender in national and sectoral policies and programs. UN Women has also worked alongside the Malian government, through the ONDD and the Ministry of Population, to adopt measures to recognize and value unpaid care work. In partnership with ONDD, UNFPA and UN Women's regional office, a policy dialogue process for the recognition of unpaid work was launched with the development of a roadmap for the recognition of unpaid work by fifty-four (54) representatives of various technical structures and ministries following the workshop to disseminate the report of the ONDD study on unpaid work and the policy brief produced by UN Women. UN Women and its partners have enabled two thousand five hundred and sixty-eight women owned businesses and women entrepreneurs acquired skills to expand their economic opportunities, business development and market potential through organizational capacity building, digital marketing skills, procurement procedures and e-procurement trainings and through the set up of a stone polishing worshop to promote women positionning in the mining industry. They have improved their structuration and organizational capacities, acquire more information and opportunities on accessing public and private procurement opportunities both at national level and on exporting markets and on how to better evolve in the formal economy. In 2023, as a result of UN Women assistance, at least 30 women owned businesses have had access to new procurement opportunities and fifteen women owned businesses have secured 17 new UN and private procurement contracts for a total value of 745 977.48 USD and one ongoing subscription contract with Cigna insurance through the UN Clinic. Also, as part of the AGCI initiative, fifty young girls acquired skills in robotics, coding and ICT, with the aim of encouraging girls to enter the scientific professions and supporting the creation of entrepreneurial initiatives in the field of technology. The Malian private sector has also improved its engagement toward gender mainstreaming through more engagement in the WEPS.Disclaimer and notes
