Republic of Mali
Context and Opportunities
A vast Sahelian country, Mali faces significant structural infrastructure challenges, exacerbated by a complex security context. Access to energy and communication is a matter of sovereignty and development for the country's vast rural regions. The autonomous and resilient model of RMS Impact is particularly suited to this environment.
Potential Intervention Zones
The Kayes, Koulikoro, and Sikasso regions, which have a large rural population, are areas with high potential. The objective would be to create essential service points to stabilize populations and support local economies (agriculture, livestock).
