MALIIntroduction
The GPRSP is a matter of great importance for the country:
It draws together all development policies and strategies conducted by the State and guarantees their coherency. It makes it possible to stimulate growth and ensures the entire population benefits from it. It determines the priorities on which basis the State budget is prepared annually. It comprises a priority framework for technical and financial partners’ involvement.
The first generation concerned the period 2002-2006; the second version covers the period of 2007-2011; the third generation will extend over the period of 2012-2017.
MALIStrategic ApproachesStrategic Approaches The 2012-2017 GPRSP depends on two established approaches and three
major strategic approaches tending to mutually reinforce each other:
Established approaches:
i) reinforcement of peace and security; ii) consolidation of the macroeconomic framework’s stability;
Strategic approaches:
Approach 1: promotion of enduring growth, favourable to the poor, to create employment and business activities generating revenues;
Approach 2: long-term reinforcement of bases for development and fair access to quality social services;
Approach 3: institutional development and governance
These approaches are coherent with those of the 2007-2011 GPRSP, but they do a better job of taking the major across-the-board themes into account: demographics, gender, the environment and climate change, fighting HIV/AIDS.

II. Strategic Objectives by ApproachII. Strategic Objectives by ApproachEstablished Approach 1: reinforced peace and security; Established Approach 1: reinforced peace and security;
This direction must make it possible to restore security for both persons and goods and to promote peace in society. Restoring security for both persons and goods bears on modernising the operational capacities of armed and security forces, through implementation of a five-year military programming law; this would provide what is lacking in terms of human resources, modern equipment, operational and territorial deployment, projection and anticipation, of information.
o Objective 1: Reinforcing State ability to respond to the public’s expectations in terms of security
o Objective 2: Involving all major players in managing security issues (shared security and peace governance).
o Objective 3: Creating a state of peace and security favourable to development

to create employment and business activities to generate revenues to create employment and business activities to generate revenues This direction must make it possible to reach a GDP of 7% annually, to
make Mali and agricultural power and to create employment and business activities to generate revenue for all Mali citizens of working age, especially women and young people.
To do this, the government intends:
to develop infrastructures (low-cost energy, transport, ICT); to accelerate implementation of a national program promoting
mechanised agriculture; to promote employment of young people and their integration
socially and professionally, including in agriculture; to continue management of land at the Niger Office, the objective
being that of doubling the surface area cultivated by 2018; to improve the business environment; to develop and implement the new land policy; to accelerate creation of the Private Sector Guarantee Fund to put the micro-finance sector on sounder footing

II. Strategic Objectives by ApproachII. Strategic Objectives by ApproachApproach 3: institutional development and governanceApproach 3: institutional development and governance
This direction must make it possible for Mali to be a model of good governance. This calls for:
• The set-up of strong and credible institutions based on fighting against corruption and impunity; the rebuilding of public administrations;
rehabilitation of the judicial system; developing and extending decentralisation; developing instruments of participatory democracy;
reform of the electoral system process and recovery of a strong position in a changing international environment.
• An active policy of national re-conciliation, bearing on: (i) implementation of a Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission; (ii)
implementation of the Accelerated Development Programme of the North (in French, PDA/RN) and implementation of a Cohesion and Solidarity Fund (in French, FCS), the financial instrument of said
Programme (iii) implementation of transitional Justice (national and international), (iv) launch of the negotiation process with major players
in the rebellion, (v) raising up northern regions in a special economic development area.

• Objective 13: Reinforcing decentralisation and devolution
• Objective 14: Continuing modernisation of the State and guaranteeing compliance with the principles of a lawful State
• Objective 15: Boosting development of regional centres and participatory local management (including land management)
• Objective 16: Reinforcing cooperation within sub-regional institutions and with outside Mali citizens
• Objective 17: Improving public finance management and fighting effectively against corruption and financial delinquency
• Objective 18: Improving the preparation, monitoring and assessment of public policies
MALIII. Statistical Information NeedsII. Statistical Information NeedsReinforcement of the national statistical system is among the
objectives and priority areas for the 2012-2017 GPRSP. Indeed, in order to improve the preparation, monitoring and assessment of public policies, the GPRSP has especially emphasise the importance of statistics from three interdependent angles:
• development of the Results-Based Management culture (RBM); • continuation of efforts to improve statistics quality and
availability; • greater involvement of major players in creating, implementing
and monitoring policies and strategies.
As part of this vision, the main mission assigned to theNational Statistic System (NSS) is to collect data andinformation necessary to tracking GPRSP. To do so, on the one
hand emphasisis put on reinforcement of itscapabilities to permit it to publish in accordance with required
scheduling,with quality data making it possible to measure the effects andimpact of policies, and on the other hand on coordination of
structuresproducing public statistics (INSTAT, CPS).

II. Statistical Information NeedsII. Statistical Information Needs1. The GPRSP participatory and iterative process has led the Mali government, together with the TFP, to develop a Joint Evaluation Framework for Annual GPRSP Reviews. This is an assessment
matrix describing the results achieved by GPRSP priority approaches for involvement with the list of indicators (type, reference
values, MDG targets, objectives and their figures in the GPRSP, achievements for the year, sources for verification, collection methods, frequency, structures responsible for analysis and
collection).2. Faced with informational needs, the “Malikunnafoni”, the Mali
socioeconomic database, was developed and set up. This relational and multi-sectorial tool makes it possible to centralise and organise statistical data. The “Malikunnafoni” database is a precious tool for all users, integral to the STS intended to improve the NSS to
monitor the GPRSP and the MDG. This socioeconomic database should be updated annually, before the GPRSP review.

4. Demographics5. Food safety
6. The main major operations planned for the period covered by the GPRSP includes: (i) the fifth year of the Mali Demographic and
Health Survey (in French, EDSM), conducted every five years; (ii) the annual Agricultural Trends Survey (in French, EAC); (iii) the annual Modular Households Survey (in French, EMOP); (iv) the
annual SMART Nutritional Survey; (v) the annual Living Standards Measurement Survey (LSMS-ISA), to measure quality of life in the
rural environment; (vi) the General Agricultural Census of 2014 (every 10 years); (vii) the Industrial and Small Business Census
(every three years). The national survey of the informal sector would be necessary, the last one dating from 1989. Themed surveys are
also programmed to respond to specific needs.

The annual SDS and GPRSP reviews are chances to fully appreciate NSS ability to make pertinent indicators available in a timely manner.

ConclusionConclusionDespite the efforts of the NSS have made, importing challenges
remainto be faced in connection with satisfying the need for quality statistics,a need ever more pressing and urgent.
The problems hindering development of the NSS are wellknown. The main problem is that of human resources.
The Mali NSS faces other problems such asinsufficient financial resources, organisation which remains to beimproved, insufficient statistical coordination despiteprogress recorded over recent years, functional relationslacking definition between structures producingpublic statistics and especially between the INSTAT and the CPS. Thequality of the statistics and their accessibility remains to be improved.
The government reaffirms its intention and commitment to acceleratinggrowth, and fighting effectively against poverty. To do so,it remains determined to reinforce its capacities in statistical terms. It is still indispensable to aid and accompany the TFP.
