Background

Mali is implementing the second five-year tranche (2019-23) of its ten-year Plan Decennal de Developpement Sanitaire et Social (PDDSS) 2014-2023 , taking a comprehensive approach to health and social development. Accordingly, in May 2016, Mali launched the Global Strategy for the Health of Women, Children and Adolescents (2016-2030), which considers how to scale up high impact interventions to end preventable deaths of women, children, and adolescents. Mali has joined the Global Financing Facility (GFF), which will make it possible to mobilize additional resources for health and nutrition. The GFF investment case, currently under development, aims to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health and nutrition, with a particular focus on reproductive health and nutrition.
