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.

Complementary indicators are identified as those in the results framework that are not repeated verbatim in the results framework of another United Nations entity, but are related or provide different but complementary lenses or insights into the same issue, high-level result and/or area of complementary work, such as a Sustainable Development Goal target.

National capacities (state structures and peace agreement signatory parties, peace mechanisms, political parties, civil society including women's organizations and youth, the media) are reinforced to implement and monitor the Women, Peace and Security agenda, the R1325 National Action Plan, the Peace Agreement and the National Strategy on Reconciliation.

The outcome is partially achieved during the course of 2021. However, during the year significant progress was made on women's participation in the peace process. The participation of 9 women as members of the National Committee for the Follow-up of the Implementation of the Agreement (CSA) is strengthened 6 years after the signing of the Agreement. This is one of the most significant results in terms of women's political participation in the peace process. The political commitment of the three signatory parties to the Peace Agreement to ensure the involvement of women in this monitoring body of the political peace process has intensified in 2021 with their decision to appoint 3 additional women to the CSA (which will increase their level of representation to 37.5% when effective) and 12 women to the 5 technical sub-commissions. This change is a real transformation in Mali and is the result of intense advocacy since the first Ouagadougou Peace Accords for women to participate fully in negotiation and peace frameworks. The reports of the UN Secretary General and the Independent Observer recognize the contribution of women in the National Committee for the Follow-up of the Implementation of the Agreement (CSA). UN Women has contributed significantly to the implementation of women members of the CSA a capacity building programme by providing technical (advisory support, training tools, provision of resource persons and trainers), logistics and financial support. UN Women contribution is recognized by the reports of the UN Secretary General's periodic reports on the situation in Mali. UN Women worked with in close partnership with the Folke Bernadotte Academy (FBA), MINUSMA, the Ministry of reconciliation peace and national cohesion in charge of the agreement for peace and national reconciliation and the Ministry for the Promotion of women children and the family, with the technical support from the Office of the high representative of the president of the transition for the monitoring of the implementation of the agreement. Based on the context analysis to date, the theory of change is still relevant in 2021. The strategy has not been changed. By 2021, women members of the CSA have enhanced their knowledge and skills to better ensure their full and effective participation in the CSA. There is a process of transformation towards stronger leadership during this programme. Before, many of the new women appointed to the CSA did not feel confident to perform their role alongside men. Gradually, observations and evaluations of the training they have received show an increase in their self-confidence and public speaking skills. They can engage in discussions on sensitive issues on the peace and reconciliation agreement, express their positions and listen to those of others without tension between them, which was not the case at the beginning. They recognize the importance of collaborating and coordinating with each other and with the men in their delegations before, during and after CSA’s sessions. The participation of men in the capacity building programme, including the heads of delegation of the two formed armed movements (CMA and Platform), was remarkable and provided qualitative inputs in terms of sharing their learning about the dynamics within the CSA, advising on strategies to bring women's issues to the table and influence decisions. They also acknowledged that they have a better understanding of gender mainstreaming and are committed to supporting the consideration of women's needs in the implementation of the Peace Agreement. The mood between the two groups is very positive during the training sessions and fosters the conditions for good collaboration between them. A capacity building programme should include all members of the peace mechanism, not just women, to ensure that men are open to gender issues and facilitate the consideration of their needs.Disclaimer and notes
