Donor Support – 2015
2015
The agreement invited international support to facilitate development in northern Mali and humanitarian aid to facilitate the return of displaced persons and refugees.
In October 2015, the International Conference for the Economic Recovery and Development for Mali resulted in pledges of 3.6 billion USD for Mali, a portion of which was earmarked for the northern regions. Estimates of the percentage of pledges fulfilled between 2015 and the end of 2018 ranged from 90 to 99%.[1] However, it is unclear what portion of the funds earmarked for northern Mali were actually disbursed by the central government.[2]
