About this file
This document is a fact sheet for the USAID Shifin Ni Tagne project, a five-year $26.25 million initiative focused on improving educational and social outcomes for marginalized youth in Mali. The project aims to reach between 18,000-20,000 Malian youth with a range of activities, including education initiatives, workforce readiness programs, media literacy training, entrepreneurship skills development, information on private sector engagement, environmental protection, reproductive health, and community participation. The key objectives are to help young people, especially young women, girls, youth with disabilities, and those in rural areas, gain access to quality education and social services, develop healthy life skills, and become influential voices within their communities. The project will be implemented in the regions of Segou, Mopti, and the Bamako District, in partnership with local organizations such as the Association Malienne pour la Survie au Sahel, Think Peace, and the Federation Malienne des Associations et Comites de Personnes.
The document also references a related federal contract opportunity, the "Protective Education for Girls in Mali" program, which aims to improve access to quality education, enhance teacher capacity, and provide targeted support for vulnerable learners, particularly girls, in Mali. This pre-solicitation opportunity is being issued by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) Mali.

Text version
Since 2012, insurgencies and coups in Mali have led to conflict, political instability, and insecurity, negatively affecting Mali’s large youth population. Social and economic challenges–including limited access to education, early marriage, adolescent pregnancy, misinformation, and opportunities to earn an income–exacerbate an already complex environment for youth. This is especially true for young woman, girls, youth with disabilities, and those who live in rural communities.
USAID works to build a generation of future leaders and ensures today’s youth have access to quality education and other social services so they can lead brighter and more prosperous lives. Over the next five years, the project will reach between 18,000 and 20,000 Malian youth with education initiatives, workforce readiness programs, media literacy, entrepreneurship skills, information related to private sector engagement, environmental protection, reproductive health, and community participation. These efforts will ensure that young people learn how to manage life’s challenges in a healthy way and will help youth build deeper connections with their friends, families, and communities. Young Malians will also participate in programs that will help redefine and influence existing social norms that far too often restrict their full potential.
As the largest bilateral education donor in Mali, the United States government remains committed to partnering with the Malian government to deliver quality primary education, foster healthy development, advance media literacy, promote entrepreneurial learning, and expand reproductive health knowledge.
