About Mali

This landlocked nation in central Africa is the fifth largest on the continent and takes its name from Lake Mali, the water source for more than 70 million people in the region. With vast desert regions to the north, much of the country’s population lives in savannah zone further south.

Independent from the French since 1960, vast swathes of the population earn a living through herding and farming. Crude oil became the country’s primary export in 2003, taking over from the cotton industry that had provided income for generations.

Some of the country’s natural resources help to drive some of the other major export markets, including meatpacking, beer brewing and the production of construction materials.

A wet season crosses Mali between May and October in the south while the Sahara in the northern third of the country sees less than 50mm of rain every year. Social structures across Mali are highly diverse, as there are more than 200 distinct ethnic groups, with local and regional societies have considerable levels of influence. This means that many groups of people are classified by the areas in which they live.
