Title:

Support to MINUSMA Trust Fund in Mali

Agreement Number:

5007063206 D004268001

Agreement Value:

$9,800,000.01

Agreement Date:

Feb 13, 2017 - Mar 31, 2021

Description:

The Trust Fund in Support of Peace and Security in Mali, through the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) provides support to Malian-led efforts to resolve the crisis, and support the implementation of the Algiers Peace Process signed in July 2015. Progress in implementing key provisions of the Algiers Accord has been slow, in particular due to continuing insecurity and armed resistance. Continuing instability in Mali has a significant impact on the Sahel region. Canada’s contribution to the trust fund aims to support the implementation of the peace agreement, the restoration of state authority to the north of Mali, reinforcement of social cohesion in view of reducing inter- and intra-community tensions, improve the protection of civilians, and contribute to the security of the north and central Mali.

Program Purpose:

The Peace and Stabilization Operations Program (PSOPs) is an integral component of the Government of Canada’s toolbox to prevent and respond to conflicts and crises abroad. It supports rapid, effective, whole-of-government coordinated responses to a wide range of challenges and serves as a valuable instrument for supporting stability in conflict-affected regions. PSOPs provides visible and concrete assistance in response to conflicts and crises abroad through targeted programming, the deployment of Canadian police officers (in partnership with Public Safety Canada and the RCMP) and civilian personnel, and direct support to the UN and multilateral peace operations, conflict prevention, mediation, and peacebuilding efforts.
