Abstract

The humanitarian crisis in Mali remains exacerbated by multifaceted insecurity, ongoing conflicts, and climatic shocks such as droughts and floods, as well as public health emergencies and recurrent epidemics. This situation unfolds within a broader context of structural vulnerabilities characterized by insufficient investment, limited presence of state institutions, chronic poverty, and a fragile socio-economic environment.
