O que funciona em Mali

Mali's evidence base spans education, health, economic empowerment and environmental restoration. SWEDD achieved dramatic girls' school retention gains (dropout fell from 53% to 2% in project areas, 2016–19) and increased women's income from US$5 to US$110 monthly, alongside deployment of 15 midwifery practices; RobotsMali rapidly produced 107 Bambara-language children's books to address a local-language reading shortage following Mali's 2023 language-policy shift, reaching 300+ pupils in the first year. The Olympic Forest agroforestry programme is working across roughly 90 villages in Mali's Kayes region toward 355,000–590,000 trees and 200,000 tonnes of CO2 sequestration, though only 72,505 trees had been planted by March 2023. All three practices remain limited by incomplete or unverified outcome data—SWEDD results are programme-reported pending independent evaluation, RobotsMali shows no measured literacy impact, and Olympic Forest's effectiveness has not been independently assessed.
