Project description
This project by Mali’s Ministry for the Promotion of Women, Children and the Family supported the training of paralegal personnel by NGOs and the provision of legal assistance to vulnerable groups.

The three-year project began in May 2006 and was financed by the Japanese government through the World Bank. The ministry contracted a CILC key expert as a special consultant to finalize the contracts between the ministry and the Malian NGOs, to define the database of results to be achieved, to help develop training materials, to conduct training activities and to evaluate the overall programme. In 2007, the participating NGOs provided mediation and legal assistance to the poor.
