United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali

Published purpose

The Trust Fund in Support of Peace and Security in Mali, through the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) provides support to Malian-led efforts to resolve the crisis, and support the implementation of the Algiers Peace Process signed in July 2015. Progress in implementing key provisions of the Algiers Accord has been slow, in particular due to continuing insecurity and armed resistance. Continuing instability in Mali has a significant impact on the Sahel region. Canada’s contribution to the trust fund aims to support the implementation of the peace agreement, the restoration of state authority to the north of Mali, reinforcement of social cohesion in view of reducing inter- and intra-community tensions, improve the protection of civilians, and contribute to the security of the north and central Mali.
