Advancing business transformation

In 2025, in light of the cessation of institutional funding from Denmark and Sweden — amounting to more than 5.7 million USD since 2024 — and in order to respond to the growing needs of government partners and communities, UN Women Mali undertook a restructuring of its organizational chart. This reorganization enabled a more strategic use of the available human resources, who are now working tirelessly across five thematic priority areas: women’s governance and leadership, women’s economic empowerment, elimination of violence against women, the Women, Peace and Security agenda, and gender in humanitarian action.

Advancing business transformation

In order to meet the growing needs of government partners and target communities in terms of gender promotion and women's economic empowerment, the UN Women Mali office undertook a restructuring of its organizational chart during 2023. This has provided the necessary human resources for the 5 thematic priorities: Governance and women's leadership, women's economic empowerment, ending violence against women, the Women, Peace and Security agenda, and gender in humanitarian action. In addition, and in order to strengthen the strategic positioning of the UN Women office in the context of the transition linked to the definitive departure of MINUSMA, Thematic Experts in the field of Women Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action were made available to the office during the second half of 2023. This made it possible to maintain the office's involvement in strategic reflections with the government and other stakeholders.
