Mali (i/ˈmɑːli/; French: [maˈli]), officially the Republic of Mali (French: République du Mali), is a landlocked country in West Africa. Mali is the eighth-largest country in Africa, with an area of just over 1,240,000 square kilometres (480,000 sq mi). The population of Mali is 14.5 million. Its capital is Bamako. Mali consists of eight regions and its borders on the north reach deep into the middle of the Sahara Desert, while the country's southern part, where the majority of inhabitants live, features the Niger and Senegal rivers. The country's economy centers on agriculture and fishing. Some of Mali's prominent natural resources include gold, being the third largest producer of gold in the African continent, and salt. About half the population lives below the international poverty line of $1.25 (U.S.) a day. A majority of the population (55%) are non-denominational Muslims.
Present-day Mali was once part of three West African empires that controlled trans-Saharan trade: the Ghana Empire, the Mali Empire (for which Mali is named), and the Songhai Empire. During its golden age, there was a flourishing of mathematics, astronomy, literature, and art. At its peak in 1300, the Mali Empire covered an area about twice the size of modern-day France and stretched to the west coast of Africa. In the late 19th century, during the Scramble for Africa, France seized control of Mali, making it a part of French Sudan. French Sudan (then known as the Sudanese Republic) joined with Senegal in 1959, achieving independence in 1960 as the Mali Federation. Shortly thereafter, following Senegal's withdrawal from the federation, the Sudanese Republic declared itself the independent Republic of Mali. After a long period of one-party rule, a coup in 1991 led to the writing of a new constitution and the establishment of Mali as a democratic, multi-party state.
Mali's economy has been hit hard by the county's recent crisis. According to the World Bank the economy shrunk by 1.5% last year after an average growth of around 5.7% between 2000 and 2010. The effects were particularly devastating in the north where banks ran out of money after Islamist rebels closed them down.
Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe It has been a tough year for Mali - from an ethnic Tuareg uprising, to a military coup and an Islamist insurgency that threatened to split the nation in half. But French and pan-African forces restored stability in time for the recent elections. Now, with voters set to go to the polls for a presidential run-off on August 11, Mali's $10.4bn economy could get a big boost from international donors, with $4bn of the promised aid dependent on peaceful elections.

© GERES - 2015 Design and production: Julien Chalus (Fertil Ink) Pictures: Julien Heurtier et Julien Chalus --------------------------------------- In Mali, currently 72% of rural areas have no access to electricity. This is the case for the municipality of Konséguéla and its 30,000 inhabitants. Thus, local businesses depend primarily on diesel to run their business, and chronic shortages and volatile fuel prices are barriers to economic development of the territory. Between 2008 and 2013, 95% of the millers of the town have stopped working, forcing women to return to traditional masher for processing local cereals. The "Green Business Area" (GBA) is an innovative access to electricity through renewable energy solution for landlocked territories. Grouping 11 local craft businesses and ...

An informative photo video of travel to Djenne, Mali - including photos of the Grande Mosque and the Pays de Dogon (Dogon Country).
The Great Mosque of Djenné is a large banco or adobe building that is considered by many architects to be one of the greatest achievements of the Sudano-Sahelian architectural style. The mosque is located in the city of Djenné, Mali, on the flood plain of the Bani River. The first mosque on the site was built around the 13th century, but the current structure dates from 1907. As well as being the centre of the community of Djenné, it is one of the most famous landmarks in Africa. Along with the Old Towns of Djenné it was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988.
Mali: An Invitation to Travel is a video documentary which presents a positive yet not uncritical introduction to the history, economics and culture of Mali. It aims to fill the void between the lack of information and the misinformation currently available about Africa in general and about Mali in particular. The project was initiated by members of MaliWatch (a group that promotes democracy and openness) including Abdoulaye Doucoure, Janet Goldner, Mohomoudou Houssouba, Boubacar Kane, Iba Ndiaye, and Bakary Sylla. It was produced and edited in Bamako with additional archival footage. A co-production of MaliWatch and CNCM (Le Centre National de la Cinématographie du Mali).

Malick Sidibé started out as a local photographer in Bamako, Mali. After independence in 1960, his snazzy studio portraits and party shots captured the buoyant optimism of a new nation. Today they are recognized internationally as masterpieces, and Malick is world famous. This short but sweet film looks at the work of the renowned African artist whose photographs have documented Malian society over a forty-year period. In an interview, this self-taught photographer, now seventy years old, describes how his photography answered a desire for immortality, discusses his views of photography as a "social art form" and explains his documentary and portrait techniques, including methods of putting his subjects at ease and "giving life to the image." Another scene gives us a rare look at the phot...

The Economy of Mali is based to a large extent upon agriculture, with a mostly rural population engaged in subsistence agriculture. Mali is among the ten poorest nations of the world, is one of the 37 Heavily Indebted Poor Countries, and is a major recipient of foreign aid from many sources, including multilateral organizations, and bilateral programs funded by the European Union, France, United States, Canada, Netherlands, and Germany. Before 1991, the former Soviet Union, China and the Warsaw Pact countries had been a major source of economic and military aid. This video is targeted to blind users.

Rachel Glennerster recently delivered an IGC public lecture on ‘The Economic Impacts of Ebola, and Rebuilding the Health Care System’. The outbreak of Ebola in West Africa has generated much speculation about the likely economic impact of the epidemic and the measures taken to control it. However, little of this speculation is based on hard data. In response, the IGC has initiated a number of projects to inform responses to this evolving crisis. Rachel Glennerster and Tavneet Suri, with Innovations for Poverty Action, are analysing the impact of the Ebola crisis on the functioning of agricultural markets in Sierra Leone. Several rounds of market surveys are aiming to understand how commodity prices are shifting across different regions and how trading has been affected. Their latest find...

Date: December 18, 2012 Once an apparent pillar of democracy in West Africa, Mali has drastically deteriorated in 2012, with a coup bringing down the elected government in March and a combination of armed groups taking over vast areas of the desert north soon thereafter. Those areas remain under the control of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, Ansar Dine, MUJAO and the MNLA, while a shaky interim government in Bamako seems to make little progress. Discussions are underway for the intervention of a regional force that will assist the Malian army in retaking the north, but there are many unanswered questions about the emerging plan. This panel at the U.S. Institute of Peace discussed the root causes of Mali's instability and strategies for addressing those causes that can contribute to long-...

SPP Assistant Professor Dan Large talks with Comfort Ero, Africa Director for International Crisis Group. Two crises -- the Central African Republic and South Sudan -- have highlighted new weakness and deficiencies in efforts to prevent state collapse or the reoccurrence of fragility. National processes either lack legitimacy or have little reach beyond their capitals. Regional and international actors, through their various stabilisation and peacebuilding initiatives have not found viable formulas to prevent conflicts. Whether this is because they haven't invested sufficient political capital in doing so or because viable formulas are simply very elusive is unclear. Successful transitions from crisis to stability do exist but they remain few, and improving governance and ensuring new lea...
Stanford Engineering Hero Dr. Martin Fisher harnesses the power of irrigation to lift millions in Africa out of poverty. The best way for millions of farmers in Africa to escape poverty is to move from rain-fed farming to irrigated farming. Irrigation transforms farming by allowing for annual production instead of sporadic production. Using the irrigation technology developed by KickStart International, a nonprofit social enterprise co-founded and led by Dr. Martin Fisher, farmers in Africa are able to generate income during the dry season, a period when it’s common for farmers who are dependent on rainfall to fall back into poverty. Fisher says, “On average, farmers in Africa using our technology increased their net income by 400% per year.”
