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 outcome was partially achieved. In accordance with UN Women's intervention, the strategic partnership for a more inclusive economy in Mali is progressing, enabling women-owned enterprises and also those in the informal sector to better develop. These strategic partnerships such as those with API, the World Bank, TFO Canada have enabled at least 400 women-owned businesses in the informal sector to organize, formalize and improve their potential access to targeted markets. In addition, another 54 women's businesses gained a better understanding of gender-responsive procurement (GRP) and acquired new skills in the process of responding to a UN system tender via the online procurement platform, and understood the challenges and partnership strategies for responding to tenders. 2,400 women organized into 25 cooperatives and 41 enterprises have improved their access to markets and finance through capacity building and access to adequate production equipment, with over XOF 26,000,000 in income generated and over XOF 13,000,000 in new finance acquired. More than 100 women-owned businesses received information on financing mechanisms and public and private market opportunities. To note that for women involved in formal entrepreneurship, 2021 was a year of continued challenges as many women-owned businesses are still struggling to recoup their losses and keep their businesses afloat in the midst of the ongoing Covid-19 crisis. Women's access to the various tax relief mechanisms and the relief guarantee fund has been rare and not incidental for many. UN Women, in collaboration with various partners and the government, has taken initiatives to improve women's organizations' access to markets and networks using ICT to enable them to expand their horizons and reach more profitable markets. UN Women Mali's women's entrepreneurship program initiatives have made it possible to establish and disseminate an in-depth diagnosis in the area of statistical production, which has made it possible to measure the effects of Covid-19 on women and their economic activities and to propose measures to mitigate the socio-economic effects of the pandemic. Thus, 153 people from several public administrations and institutions, public enterprises, social security organizations, financial institutions, development partners and civil society organizations contributed to the proposal of very interesting recommendations in terms of capacity building, production of statistics and national gender indicators, integration of gender in economic recovery plans and efforts, and measuring the effects of Covid-19 on women and their activities.Disclaimer and notes
