Mali

Armed violence, climate shocks, epidemics and socio-political instability have contributed to widespread insecurity and large-scale population displacement across Mali. A vast land-locked country in the heart of the Sahel region, it is estimated about 1.5 million people have fled their homes since 2012. Poverty is on the rise, affecting 78.1 percent of people, and stunting affects 30.4% of children under 5, affecting some 367,000 severely acutely malnourished children. This year, more than 1.24 million Malians will require urgent food assistance.
