### Summary and key findings
- The document is a Joint Staff Advisory Note discussing key findings of the Implementation Report for 2003 and 2004 of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper for Mali.
- Real GDP growth averaged 5 percent over the period 2003–05.
- Mali’s growth performance improved over the preceding three years but fell short of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Framework goal.

  - the authorities’ “optimistic and voluntaristic” growth objectives that represent a best-case scenario.
