Mali
Humanitarian context
The crisis that Mali has been facing for 10 years has had security, economic and political impacts, including the destabilization of the administrative system, which has led to the scarcity of basic social services, exacerbating the vulnerabilities of the population. Out of a total population of 21.1 million, an estimated 12.9 million people are affected by the crisis in Mali, of which 7.5 million are in need of humanitarian assistance, which represents more than one in three people in the country[1]. The Malian crisis has seen new developments for several years, with increased instability during 2022 and many areas of population displacement.

Description of the mission
From 1993 to 2002, International Medical Assistance provided support to the health system in the Kidal region. In 2013, Première Urgence Internationale took over the activities initiated and extended its intervention to Kidal (Circles of Kidal, Tessalit and Abeibara), Gao (Circle of Ansongo – 2014) and Mopti (Circles of Bankass and Bandiagara – 2019). The coordination office is based in Bamako and the logistics and pharmacy platform in Sévaré.
Since 2020, Première Urgence Internationale has aimed to develop integrated approaches in its intervention areas. This approach is defined around the need and vulnerability of populations and focuses on simultaneously addressing all the causes of these vulnerabilities. This type of approach recognizes the complexity, diversity and interconnectedness of issues.
