Mali/Economy: The country relies on the contribution of the Malian Diaspora
For social and economic development in Mali, authorities are relying on active and effective engagement from the Malian diaspora. This approach is seen as a prime means to accelerate Mali’s economic transformation for the benefit of Malians. To achieve this goal, mobilizing Malian citizens living abroad is essential.
The creation and operation of the Diaspora Skills Mobilization Program Platform for Employment in Mali aligns with this enlightened vision. It aims to bring together all sons and daughters of Mali, including those abroad, around development projects focusing on entrepreneurship, job creation, and wealth generation.
According to the country’s authorities, Mali possesses vast human, intellectual, and financial potential through its diaspora. The program aims to maximize the contribution of Malians residing abroad to the sustainable development of their homeland.
This platform initiative primarily focuses on connecting Malian diaspora experts with public and private entities in Mali. This connection aims to facilitate skill exchange and professional training in priority sectors of the economy.
It’s important to note that the Malian diaspora, like in many other countries, represents a crucial investment link for the country. According to available information, it has historically played a significant and essential role in Mali’s development. Therefore, the transitional authorities’ vision is to make the diaspora a cornerstone of Mali’s social development and economic growth.
