### Summary
- This paper examines the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) for Mali.
- The PRSP is an expression of the government’s desire to engage in development activity that is more intense, more organized, more consensus-based, and more effective, and capable of bringing about lasting poverty reduction.
- Although redistribution activities and social protection systems are necessary in the short term to reduce the impact of poverty, it is above all a matter of integrating these activities into long-term strategies that will put the poor in a position to help further their own economic and social well-being.

### Major themes and emphasis
- Development strategy design: a focus on more intense, more organized, more consensus-based, and more effective development activity aimed at lasting poverty reduction.
- Short-term measures: redistribution activities and social protection systems to reduce the immediate impact of poverty.
- Long-term integration: embedding short-term measures into long-term strategies to enable the poor to improve their own economic and social well-being.
