Development progress has not translated into sustained improvements for citizens. Challenges persist across economic, social, political, and human dimensions, amplified by renewed violence, political instability after two institutional breaks, and the COVID-19 crisis. This SCD Update reviews changes since 2015 and highlights three priorities: a weakening social contract, insufficient job creation, and lagging human capital outcomes.

Its development trajectory has not resulted in sustained progress for its citizens. As in 2015, Mali faces challenges in the economic, social, political, and human fronts. Without addressing these challenges, Mali may not be able to change its development path.
