Summary:

Mali has many characteristics of a fragile and conflict-affected state. Like many other fragile states, Mali has high population growth, which puts pressure on the country’s resources, including food supplies. Gender inequality in the country is also high, with women and girls experiencing disadvantages in many aspects of life. These challenges are closely related, so coordinated reforms are required to break the vicious cycle which has left Mali trapped in a state of fragility since 2012.
