Acknowledgements 3 Acknowledgements It is an honour and a great pleasure for the Executive Management of IMRAP and Interpeace, our technical partner, to express our sincere gratitude to all the resource persons who supported this participatory and inclusive research initiative on the obstacles to and opportunities for peace in Mali. The outcome of this research is an essential basis for the formulation of an agenda for peace, reconciliation and social cohesion in our country. These acknowledgements are first and foremost dedicated to Malians themselves. We particularly wish to thank the people for making themselves available, including the national administrative and elected authorities, the traditional and religious authorities as well as all persons and entities who were met in the field during the various missions for fact finding, consultation, feedback (restitution), and deepening of the analysis of the outcomes. This participatory, inclusive and constructive nationwide dynamic dialogue, would not have been possible without the participation and constant availability of the various segments of the Malian community who spared no effort nor minced words, to express what they thought were the obstacles to and opportunities for peace in Mali. We express our sincere acknowledgement and gratitude to the members of the Board of Directors of IMRAP for their advice as well as moral and material support which enhanced the effectiveness of our activities. The Board of Directors and the Executive Management of IMRAP wish to express their deep gratitude to the entire Interpeace team for its constant commitment and advice with regard to the methodological approach to the support for this initiative. This commitment ensured the constant mobilization of strategic and financial partners as well as partners of similar Interpeace programmes in Africa and at the international level with whom rich and practical experiences were shared. These interactions were effective sources of inspiration for the Mali programme. We say thank you to the collaborators of the Burundi, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia and Rwanda programmes for their support and kindness. We particularly thank Dr. Severin Kouamé, Director of INDIGO Côte d’Ivoire, for his valuable and constant support which enabled us to understand that Côte d’Ivoire and Mali are not only united by a land border, but that they are also united in the quest for sustainable peace. IMRAP 4 A Self-Portrait of Mali on the Obstacles to Peace We wish to thank all those who contributed to the drafting and proofreading of this report. Undoubtedly, their efforts and expertise helped to improve its quality. IMRAP and Interpeace sincerely thank their financial partners, i.e. the European Union (EU) and the Danish Development Agency (DANIDA) for their financial support towards the establishment of this participatory and inclusive national dialogue process aimed at formulating a consensual agenda owned by the Malian people for the strengthening of social cohesion and sustainable peace in Mali. Our gratitude also goes to the governments of Norway and the Netherlands for their institutional support. As Scott M. Weber, the Director-General of Interpeace said in his opening address at the National Conference in January 2015 in Bamako, “We are at the end of the beginning, but not at the end of the process.” This is, therefore, the opportunity to once again thank all the participants of the National Conference on the validation and prioritization of the entry points in the quest for sustainable solutions. Your enthusiasm and perceptiveness in the choice of priorities to be tackled in the second phase of the participatory consultation on sustainable solutions, are a testimony of your support for this noble initiative. We now invite you to assist and guide us in the participatory process in the quest for consensual solutions relating to the priorities identified for peace in Mali.

    r 1 RAPPORT DE MISSION [-a mission que nous venons de terminer avait pour but de mener une enquête dans quelques localités du Mali pour avoir une idée sur la vente éventuelle de I'ivermectine au Mali et le suivi de la distribution du médicament par les acteurs sur le terrain. En effet sur ordre de mission No 26/OCPlZone Ouest du3l/01196 avec le véhicule NU 61 40874 nous avons debuté un périple dans les régions de Koulikoro, Ségou et Sikasso et le district de Bamako, en vue de vérifier la vente de l'ivermectine dans les pharmacies, les dépôts de médicament ou avec les marchands ambulants de médicaments. Durant notre périple, nous avons visité : 3 Régions : Koulikoro, Ségou, Sikasso 1 District : Bamako 17 Cercles Koulikoro (06 Cercles), Ségou (05 Cercles), Sikasso (06 Cercles). 1. Koulikoro l. Baraouli 1. Koutiala 2. Kati 2. Ségou 2. Sikasso 3. Kolokani 3. Macina 3. Kadiolo 4. Banamba 4. Niono 4. Bougouni 5. Kangaba 5. Bla 5. Yanfolila 6. Dioila 6. Kolondiéba avec environ Il4 pharmacies et dépôts de médicaments, sans compter les marchands ambulants se trouvant à travers les 40 marchés que nous avons eu à visiter (voir détails en annexe). Malgré notre fouille, nous n'avons pas trouvé un seul comprimé de mectizan en vente ni dans les pharmacies, ni dans les dépôts de produits pharmaceutiques ni avec les marchands ambulants qui ne connaissent d'ailleurs pas le produit. Dans les centres de santé où nous avons cherché à acheter, on nous a fait savoir que ce médicament n'est jamais vendu et qu'il se donne gratuitement à la population.

Kieda, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT The main goal of this dissertation is to identify major characteristics of French colonial education in Soudan Francais (present day Mali) before discussing ways in which, despite major education reforms, legacies that relate to those characteristics continue to, either consciously or unconsciously, be reproduced, altered, or challenged in two current higher education teacher-training programs in postcolonial Mali. The discussions offer insights with regard to how issues of reproduction, hybridity, and resistance play out in various data sources before examining ways in which they affect the subjectivities of preservice teachers graduating from the two teacher training programs investigated.

  • Stamps from Mali Were of Relatively Large Size and Compared to Surface Mail Stamps Their Topics Were Directed More Towards International Events and Organizations
    African Postal Heritage; African Studies Centre Leiden; APH Paper 30; Jan Jansen Mali, April 2018 African Studies Centre Leiden African Postal Heritage APH Paper 30 Jan Jansen Stamp Emissions as a Sociological and Cultural Force – The Case of Mali Introduction Postage stamps and related objects are miniature communication tools, and they tell a story about cultural and political identities and about artistic forms of identity expressions. They are part of the world’s material heritage, and part of history. Ever more of this postal heritage becomes available online, published by stamp collectors’ organizations, auction houses, commercial stamp shops, online catalogues, and individual collectors. Virtually collecting postage stamps and postal history has recently become a possibility. These working papers about Africa are examples of what can be done. But they are work-in-progress! Everyone who would like to contribute, by sending corrections, additions, and new area studies can do so by sending an email message to the APH editors: Ton Dietz ([email protected]) and/or Jan Jansen ([email protected]).
