Context
In 2025, security instability persists in Mali, marked by conflicts between government forces, groups that did not sign the Algiers Agreement, and non-state armed groups. On the political and regional front, the country has left ECOWAS to form the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) with Burkina Faso and Niger.
At the end of 2024, more than 378,000 people were internally displaced due to armed conflict, while the number of refugees and asylum seekers from the subregion increased by 115%, reaching more than 191,000 people.
The effects of climate change are exacerbating this already critical situation. In October 2024, severe flooding affected around 450,000 people across the country, destroying homes and infrastructure and damaging 544,000 hectares of cultivated land, further worsening households’ access to adequate food. In addition, 34% of the population does not have access to clean water, a situation exacerbated by inadequate sanitation and hygiene services, which promote the spread of waterborne diseases.
In response to these multiple crises, the 2025 Humanitarian Response Plan estimates that 6.4 million people, or 27.7% of the population, need multisectoral humanitarian assistance. The government, in collaboration with the humanitarian community, plans to assist 4.7 million of the most vulnerable people, with a funding appeal of US$771.3 million.

In 2024, in the Mopti and Timbuktu regions, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL continued its efforts to strengthen the skills and capacities of populations and communities to prepare for, monitor, and respond effectively to climate and security shocks – in collaboration with local state authorities for autonomous, coordinated, and responsive crisis management.
Response plans and early warning systems were developed with the most vulnerable communities, accompanied by strengthened local coordination between basic social services.
In response to displacement caused by the security crisis and flooding, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL provided emergency water, hygiene and sanitation assistance to displaced and host populations, enabling targeted beneficiaries to maintain their dignity and hygiene conditions while reducing the spread of water-related diseases. Multi-purpose cash transfers were made to meet urgent unmet needs.
Finally, the association benefited from the reports and research of HAACT to deliver assistance based on individual needs.
