This project aims to empower women and girls when confronting corrupt and discriminatory practices that contribute to gender injustice and inequality in Malian society. This project builds the capacity of civil society organizations (CSOs) to better address gender equality, equity and representation of women and girls in the fight against corruption. This project also contributes to building the capacity of the central office for the fight against illicit enrichment (OCLEI), the main corruption prevention body in Mali. Project activities include: (1) providing material and technical support to a dozen CSO partners so that they can carry out their anti-corruption missions and defend women’s and girls’ rights; (2) providing technical assistance to CSO partners in their strategy to support women and girls in the exercise of their rights when confronting corrupt practices; (3) providing technical and material support to OCLEI to ensure it has the necessary tools to fulfill its mission from a gender perspective, particularly the territorial expansion of its anti-corruption efforts in Bamako and in the regions; and (4) supporting the implementation—under OCLEI leadership—of multi-stakeholder consultation frameworks for the fight against corruption and its effects on women and girls.

This project aims to directly benefit approximately 170,000 people (66% of whom are women and girls), including members of the targeted CSOs from various ethnic communities in Bamako and in the regions of Gao, Kayes, Koulikoro, Mopti, Ségou and Sikasso as well as the staff (340 people) from these CSOs and several Malian public institutions active in the fight against corruption and the promotion of women’s rights and gender equality.
