International Alert (Mali)

In Mali we help to improve the understanding of the peace and conflict context in order to enable the government, donors, international institutions and civil society to better support positive change.

We work with local people, communities and leaders to support local and national governance and peacebuilding, with a particular focus on natural resource management and sustainable economic development. We also seek to influence the design and delivery of aid programmes, to ensure they are sensitive to the conflict and support peace.

Our work is important because sustainable peace requires more inclusive participation, swapping the politics of clientelism, corruption and division for reformed and reinvigorated public institutions and a political class.

We have been working in Mali since 2013.
