Mali: Assimi Goïta prioritizes infrastructure and social welfare in national governance
General Assimi Goïta, President of Mali, is shaping a governance model centered on infrastructure modernization and social development. Recent inaugurations of roads in Sikasso, ongoing work on major transport axes, and stadium renovations reflect a clear strategy to improve national connectivity and stimulate economic growth.
Beyond bricks and mortar, the social agenda of President AsimGoïta’s social agenda has drawn significant attention.
By allocating two-thirds of the country’s sovereignty fund to social programs, his administration has financed hundreds of water boreholes, equipped healthcare facilities, and built dialysis centers directly addressing long-standing public needs.

This people-first approach was further reinforced by the signing of a social stability and growth pact with labor partners, which includes a gradual increase in wages through 2030.
The agreement aims to foster social trust and promote equitable economic development.
Against a backdrop of regional instability, Mali under President Goïta appears to be carving a distinct path one defined by pragmatic leadership and an unwavering focus on improving the welfare of the Malian people.
