Government of Mali - Ministry of Labour, Public Service and State Reform

Published purpose

The project aims to support the Government of Mali in implementing its Institutional Development Program, to transform the public service into a coherent, effective, and participatory means of development and poverty reduction. The key expected results include: the reorganization of the central government in order to reflect the recent implementation of decentralization; capacity building of increasing human resources; and modernization of public service processes, methods, procedures, and resources. Moreover, the dimension of equality between women and men is now mainstreamed in the operational plan of the Institutional Development Program. As with all budget support initiatives, Canada is working in close cooperation with other donors and the Government of Mali to focus on effective, transparent, and accountable country systems; increase donor coordination and harmonization; and strengthen mutual accountability. Budget support also fosters greater policy dialogue among donors, government, and partners, thus helping to strengthen efforts for effective, focussed aid, as well as long-term development results. This initiative is continuously monitored and evaluated in coordination with other donors.
