Background

The AWCW3 Country Management Unit (CMU) within the Africa West and Central Region covering Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, and Niger, oversees country dialogue, strategy formulation, business development, portfolio management and development results monitoring. All four countries covered by the AWCW3 CMU are IDA countries, with high rate of poverty affecting women disproportionately. AWCW3 countries are also among the lowest countries in the world on the Human Capital Index (HCI) ranking. They are classified as FCV (fragility, conflict and violence) countries. The AWCW3 CMU is managed by a Country Director (CD), assisted by an Operations Manager (OM) and four Practices Leaders (PLs), all based in the World Bank Regional Office in Bamako. The CD coordinates and oversees the AWCW3 country offices and an anchor unit in Washington D.C. She leads the Bank's dialogue with the authorities and manages the day-to-day operations of the program, with support from an Operations Manager, Senior Operations Officer, an Executive Assistant, other country office staff, and the broader country team.
The World Bank's current portfolio in Mali comprises 26 operations (16 national and 10 regional) with a total commitment of US$1.9 billion, of which US$1.3 billion remains to be disbursed. It covers 11 sectors of cooperation but is mainly concentrated in the energy and agriculture sectors, which together account for 48% of national commitments.

The Cooperation between the World Bank and Mali is governed by a Country Partnership Framework (CPF), which covered the period FY15-FY19 and was subsequently extended to FY20. The CPF identified three main pillars: Focus Area 1: Improve Governance, Focus Area 2: Create Economic Opportunities, Focus Area 3: Build Resilience. The World Bank is currently developing a new partnership framework, the Country Engagement Note (CEN), which will cover FY24 and FY25. The CEN is based on the findings of Mali's Systematic Country Diagnostic, published in 2022, which identified three pathways to support Mali's development: (i) Rebuilding Capabilities for a Stronger Social Contract, (ii) Investing in Mali’s People to Build Human Capital and (iii) Fostering Job Creation through Private Sector Growth.
