TVET Country Profile : Mali

Vocational training has been practised in Mali since ancient times through traditional apprenticeships. Mali has retained its focus on skills development in recent times through implementation of the Strategic Framework for Economic Recovery and Sustainable Development (CREDD 2019-2023).

TVET plays a valuable role by offering a wide variety of skills to improve employability thereby contributing to the productive capacity of business organisations and industries.

This paper highlights a county-level overview of the TVET system in Mali, looking at its policy framework, governance, and the involvement of the private sector in TVET. The aim is to provide an overview of strategies for implementing TVET to improve TVET reform and quality.
