Country Snapshot: Mali and Communications for Development
USAID accelerates development
by making information accessible through innovative
communication techniques and appropriate tools.
The
Special Objective supports Mali’s private FM radio
network (currently over 150 stations), produces and
disseminates radio programming on a wide range of development
topics, trains radio stations staff in program production
and station management, and establishes linkages between
radio and the Internet.
The special objective provides technical assistance
to the Mission’s Strategic Objectives teams
and their partners in information and communications
technologies, and provides radio and computer equipment
for selected local institutions. In short, this
program creates opportunities for Mali to participate
in the Information Society as it applies to development,
and to bridge the digital divide.
