Our work in
Mali
Political unrest and insecurity in Mali in recent years has made radio an even more critical source of information and dialogue, as internal conflict often results in reduced public services. Working in Mali remains a challenge due to security concerns, but we are proud to have maintained our presence there since 2007. In fact, Bamako is home to our longest-operating francophone office.
A large country with a relatively small, highly dispersed population, Mali has a radio landscape characterized by many small, local and community-oriented stations. Our projects have addressed the promotion of education, women's rights, sustainable agriculture, and climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Our reach
13.5 million potential listeners
By combining radio coverage maps with population density information, we estimate that our partner stations in Mali have a combined potential audience of more than 13.5 million people.
