SITUATION

� The conflict in Mali persists as violent confrontations between armed groups and Malian and in-

ternational forces – including the G5 Sahel force, the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), and the French armed forces – continue to take place. The fighting oc-

curs mainly in northern and central Mali, including areas near the borders with Burkina Faso and

Niger, but attacks have also taken place elsewhere.

� The government and some armed groups are seeking to implement a 2015 peace accord, but have made little progress to date. Communal violence and increased criminality add to the volatility in

northern and central Mali.

� Malian and international forces arrest people in relation to the conflict; some detainees are trans-ferred to the custody of the gendarmerie. People are also held by armed groups.

� Recurrent drought forces people and their herds to move, especially in the north.

� Migrants from throughout the region, including refugees and asylum seekers, travel through Mali

to reach Europe.

HUMANITARIAN CONCERNS

� Ongoing hostilities and increased criminality have forced people to flee to calmer or safer areas or

to neighbouring countries, such as Burkina Faso and Mauritania. Thousands of them are still una-

ble to return to their places of origin, and many have lost contact with their families.

� Abuses by weapon bearers, including sexual violence and attacks on health-care services, have been reported.

� Chronic insecurity hinders access to basic services and makes it difficult for communities to meet

essential needs and sustain livelihoods. Damaged water-supply and irrigation infrastructure, re-current drought and the influx of people and livestock from other areas exacerbate the situation,

intensifying competition for limited pastureland and water resources and stoking communal ten-sions. Many households are dependent on agro-pastoral activities for subsistence, and are particu-

larly vulnerable to the effects of poor harvests and weakened livestock.

� Health facilities are understaffed, as the precarious security conditions prevent workers from stay-

ing or returning. Many facilities are ill-equipped to handle influxes of patients. People in need of care cannot always afford treatment.

� Many migrants are ill-prepared for their journey and face numerous difficulties along the way. The

fates of hundreds of Malian migrants who went missing off the coast of Libya in 2015 have yet to

be clarified.

� Budgetary constraints, insufficient material and human resources, and overcrowding – caused

mainly by delays in the judicial process – continue to affect detainees’ health and living conditions.

� Humanitarian organizations are helping to meet the needs of violence-affected people, but are lim-

ited by security and access constraints. Despite a number of security incidents forcing it to tempo-

rarily suspend or scale down its activities, the ICRC remains the main international humanitarian

organization active in northern Mali.

ICRC OPERATIONAL PRIORITIES

In 2019, the ICRC’s main priorities in Mali will be to:


PAGE 4 OF 14

� strengthen protection for conflict-affected people by maintaining dialogue with all parties to con-

flict on their obligations under International Humanitarian Law (IHL);

� focus assistance activities in priority areas of northern and central Mali, given the scope of the

needs and the ICRC’s level of access, and taking into account the work of other organizations; pur-

sue medium-term water and livelihood projects while maintaining the capacity to respond to

emergencies;

� facilitate access to primary health care, hospital care and physical rehabilitation services, increas-

ing such support in central Mali; advocate protection for patients, medical personnel and medical

facilities;

� visit people detained in connection with the conflict and/or for security reasons, and seek access to detainees whom the ICRC has not yet visited;

� maintain proximity to people in need while ensuring the safety of ICRC teams by networking with

all relevant actors to ensure acceptance for the ICRC’s mandate, and by strengthening the opera-

tional partnership with the Mali Red Cross; coordinate with Movement partners, emphasizing ad-

herence to common security rules; and

� reinforce the ICRC’s position as a strictly neutral, impartial and independent humanitarian organi-

zation, and as a key source of reference for IHL-related matters, protection concerns and public debate on humanitarian issues.

ICRC ACTION

CIVILIANS

Objective: Civilians are respected and protected by all weapon bearers, in accordance with applicable

law. They are able to cover their basic needs and have access to essential services. Members of dispersed families, including vulnerable migrants and children, are able to restore or maintain contact, reunite or

ascertain the fate of missing relatives.

Fostering respect for IHL in the conduct of hostilities

Given the volatile security conditions and the large number of actors involved, the ICRC will work even

harder to engage all parties to conflict and broaden awareness of IHL. It will emphasize the necessity

of protecting civilians and preventing abuses against them, including sexual violence, and of safeguarding access to basic services, especially health care and education. Pertinent parties will be

alerted, through bilateral dialogue, to the humanitarian consequences of the hostilities, including the various kinds of abuse that are alleged to have taken place. The ICRC will discuss, with security forces

personnel, international standards for law enforcement – particularly for the use of force and for

arrests and detention (see also People deprived of their freedom).

These discussions will be reinforced by dissemination sessions for members of armed groups,

international contingents and Malian troops. As religious and community leaders exert influence over

some of those involved in the violence, the ICRC will continue to engage with them to secure their

support for IHL in the context of the Malian conflict and to ensure the safety of ICRC teams in certain areas. Timely public communication will support these efforts, enabling key messages to reach a

broader audience.

The ICRC will seek proximity to community members, to involve them in identifying their needs and

appropriate measures to make them safer. It will do the same with migrants leaving or passing through the country, to enable them to understand more fully the dangers they might encounter along

the way. Migrants’ protection concerns will be raised during the discussions mentioned above.

Helping people to reconnect with or learn the fate of their relatives

The ICRC will intensify its efforts to provide people separated from their families – by armed conflict or other violence, migration or detention – with the means to restore contact with their relatives. It

will pay particular attention to the situation of unaccompanied or separated minors, including those


PAGE 5 OF 14

formerly associated with weapon bearers. It will maintain close coordination with other humanitarian

actors, such as UN agencies, to achieve these goals.

Inadequate national forensic capacities and lack of information hamper identification of the remains of

Malian migrants who perished in the Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Libya, in 2015. The remains are currently stored at a forensic facility in Italy. The ICRC will continue working with the authorities

to set up the mechanisms necessary to provide answers for the families concerned.

The ICRC will provide support for health workers, security forces personnel, National Society

volunteers and others involved in managing the remains of people killed during clashes, to ensure that

remains are handled in line with international best practices, to enable their identification later.

Building communities’ resilience to the effects of conflict

As long as security conditions permit, the ICRC will continue to carry out activities to help vulnerable

people – including internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees and migrants – withstand the effects of periodic violence and/or climate shocks. These activities include giving people support for growing

more food, maintaining their livelihoods, or finding new ways to earn an income; farmers will also

receive food to see them through lean periods. Breadwinners will be invited to participate in work that

will benefit the entire community, and also give them a short-term or supplementary income.

Communities will be given the training necessary to become more self-sufficient and to ensure the

sustainability of the initiatives they undertake. Water projects will serve a dual purpose: giving people

access to drinking water; and providing them with the infrastructure necessary for sustaining agro-

pastoral activities.

Given the chances of the situation deteriorating or of other crises arising, the ICRC will remain

prepared to provide emergency relief for households, including those newly displaced, to meet their

basic needs, prepare their own meals, maintain proper hygiene and improve their temporary living

conditions.

In light of the security situation, the ICRC will continue to enlist more support from local actors,

particularly the Mali Red Cross, for help with its work; the National Society will be given training and

other support. Close coordination with the authorities, UN agencies and other parties will be

maintained.

Backing the provision of good-quality health care

The ICRC will maintain its support for primary-health-care centres to enable them to provide

preventive, curative and maternal health services – including vaccinations, nutrition monitoring,

ante/post-natal care, and specialized care for victims of violence – that meet national or international

standards. Particular attention will be paid to ensuring that women of childbearing age and children

under the age of five can obtain the care they need. Capacity-building support for health staff will aim

to improve the quality of care and clinical, pharmaceutical, administrative and human-resource

management systems. More health centres in central Mali will begin receiving comprehensive support

in 2019, owing to the surge in communal violence in that area.

The ICRC will strive to ensure the availability of mental-health and psychosocial support for people

suffering from violence-related trauma, including victims of sexual violence. Staff at most ICRC-

supported centres will be trained to provide such services and to refer patients for further care.

Community workers elsewhere will also be trained specifically for this purpose.

Plan of action and indicators

Protection of civilians and respect for the law

� document allegations of violations of IHL or other applicable norms in the conduct of hostilities;

through confidential dialogue and written representations, raise these allegations with the parties concerned, reminding them of their obligations and providing recommendations for corrective and

preventive action

� strengthen dialogue with the police and the gendarmerie on international law enforcement stand-

ards


PAGE 6 OF 14

� work with members of violence-affected communities to identify the specific risks they face, and

ways to mitigate these risks; with the National Society, do the same with migrants leaving or pass-ing through Mali

� provide particularly vulnerable people with ad hoc assistance: for instance, include migrants in re-

lief distributions and refer victims of sexual violence to ICRC-supported providers of psychosocial

support (see below)

� organize IHL dissemination sessions for Malian forces, international contingents based in Mali, and

members of armed groups (see also Wounded and sick and Actors of influence), highlighting the

strictly neutral, impartial and independent nature of the ICRC’s activities

� engage religious and community leaders in dialogue; hold information sessions for Islamic leaders and scholars, and emphasize the common ground between IHL and sharia law

� use traditional and social media to reinforce key messages on the basic provisions of IHL and pro-

tection for violence-affected people; use these platforms to engage with local communities, in or-

der to learn more about their needs and inform them of the potentially life-saving services availa-

ble to them

Restoring family links

With the National Society:

� offer family-links services, such as RCMs, phone calls and tracing services; promote these services

by organizing meetings with key parties, and dissemination sessions for them

� register unaccompanied or separated minors, including children formerly associated with weapon

bearers; where appropriate, reunite them with their families and check on their welfare through

follow-up visits and discussions with other child-protection actors

� advocate the establishment of an interministerial committee for coordinating efforts to clarify the fate of Malian migrants who went missing in the Mediterranean in 2015

� support the committee’s work, if it is formed; in particular:

with the consent of all parties concerned and in line with ICRC data-protection guidelines

o assess the families’ needs and share findings and recommendations with the authorities

concerned

Forensics

� train first responders to manage human remains and sponsor forensic doctors to attend confer-

ences abroad; organize meetings to encourage coordination among the organizations concerned and to promote best practices

� if needed, provide expert assistance for collecting DNA samples (see above) from the families of

missing migrants

Economic security

� help up to 10,260 farming households (61,560 people), including members of market gardening

groups, cultivate crops for food or fodder – by providing them with good-quality agricultural seed,

tools, equipment, training in good farming practices, and support for rehabilitating water sources

and tracts of land (see below)

� organize animal vaccination and deworming services, distribute fodder, train veterinary person-

nel, and provide cost-efficient transport and advice for marketing livestock, for the benefit of up to 127,000 pastoral households (762,000 people); if the lean season is particularly severe, purchase

weakened animals from pastoralists and, where appropriate, distribute the meat to vulnerable

community members

� help up to 4,925 households (supporting 29,550 people in all) to earn an income – by organizing

cash-for-work projects to repair or construct agricultural or community infrastructure (see also

Water and habitat below), and by providing cash grants and training for microeconomic initiatives

� give up to 750 community members and local service providers training and other capacity-building support related to the activities mentioned above


PAGE 7 OF 14

� provide up to 96,000 people (16,000 households) with one month’s supply of food, or cash to buy

it

� distribute household essentials, or cash to buy them, to up to 33,000 people (5,500 households)

support for victims of violence, at up to 16 primary-health-care centres; to this end:

o donate equipment and supplies (such as medicines and post-rape kits) and upgrade facilities at

some centres

o train and supervise health-centre personnel, including traditional birth attendants

o refer patients for higher-level or specialized care; cover transport costs for those needing life-saving treatment

providers (in line with the Health Care in Danger initiative), and on sexual violence and its

consequences

� provide financial and other support for vaccination campaigns conducted by local health authori-

ties

� in the event of an emergency, extend ad hoc support to up to seven other health centres

� train people providing psychosocial care at some of the centres mentioned above or at some Na-

tional Society-run facilities

Support for the National Society

respond to emergencies, conduct livelihood-support activities, and restore family links; train them

in safe practices around mines and explosive remnants of war

� build facilities (see above) for the National Society

PEOPLE DEPRIVED OF THEIR FREEDOM

Objective: Detainees are afforded treatment and living conditions in accordance with internationally

recognized standards and applicable law. Their judicial guarantees are respected, and they are able to

communicate with their families.

Monitoring treatment and living conditions in places of detention

The ICRC will continue to visit detainees – including those held in relation to the armed conflict – in

accordance with its standard procedures. It will pay particular attention to vulnerable detainees – including security detainees, women and minors – and continue to seek access to detainees it has not

yet visited

Dialogue with the relevant authorities will tackle specific issues noted during these visits, particularly

with regard to detainees’ judicial guarantees and overcrowding. The ICRC will also engage the

authorities in dialogue on concrete measures to improve detainees’ living conditions (see below).

The ICRC will provide detainees with the means to contact their families or consular representatives.


PAGE 8 OF 14

Working with the authorities to improve detention conditions

Assistance for detainees will focus on improving their access to health care, nutrition and living spaces

– through support for the authorities and prison staff and through direct provision of goods and services in priority prisons. The ICRC will also keep up its efforts to persuade the authorities to take

longer-term measures at the central level for ensuring decent living conditions for detainees under

their responsibility. It will facilitate coordination among the prison authorities and the justice, health

and other relevant ministries in order to address these issues.


Protection of people deprived of their freedom

� visit detainees and check on their treatment and living conditions; follow up security detainees in-

dividually

� communicate findings from these visits confidentially to the authorities concerned

� notify the authorities of instances of people being held past the State-prescribed length of deten-

tion; follow up these cases with the magistrates in charge

� discuss structural challenges, and recommendations for tackling them, at prison directorate and

ministerial levels

� during dissemination sessions for prison staff, remind them of their obligations with regard to the treatment of detainees and the provision of appropriate medical care for particularly vulnerable

detainees

� pursue dialogue with the authorities concerned to gain access to detainees not yet visited

Restoring family links

� relay RCMs and arrange phone calls between detainees and their families; remind the authorities

that they must notify detainees’ families of the arrest or transfer of their relatives, and of their

well-being

� coordinate with the pertinent embassies or organizations on behalf of foreign detainees

� provide financial or other assistance for newly released security detainees returning home

Health

� at up to six places of detention:

o monitor the health and nutritional status of detainees

o donate medicines, equipment and supplies, including nutritional supplements

o train prison health staff and give them expert guidance in applying good practices, using

appropriate case-management tools and setting up screening procedures to enable timely

diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions, including acute malnutrition

o organize meetings and round-tables with the authorities concerned

� help conduct dissemination sessions and produce hygiene-promotion materials for the authorities at one prison to instruct personnel and detainees in preventing communicable diseases, including

TB and HIV/AIDS

� organize meetings and round-tables with the ministries concerned, on coordinating the provision

of health care in prisons

� help establish an alert/monitoring system for epidemics and other emergencies; to that end, urge

the relevant ministries to appoint prison health coordinators, and train these coordinators to en-sure that data are recorded and reported accurately and promptly

� in the event of a medical or nutritional crisis, provide emergency supplies or other support, as needed

Economic security

� advocate, at the central level, measures to improve the food supply in prisons, such as adopting a

new standard menu that meets detainees’ nutritional requirements

� at up to six places of detention housing 2,890 detainees:


PAGE 9 OF 14

o conduct joint visits with the authorities to assess the food supply and detainees’ nutrition

o organize training sessions for prison personnel – for instance, on budgeting and inventory

management

o provide therapeutic food for treating severely malnourished detainees; should malnutrition rates cross emergency thresholds, donate up to three months’ worth of additional food rations

� donate clothes and other items for up to 2,890 detainees

Water and habitat

� to benefit up to 2,890 inmates in all:

o renovate ventilation, sanitation and other facilities at up to four places of detention

o provide a regular supply of hygiene items and cleaning products

o give the prison authorities expert assistance for constructing penitentiary facilities in line with

international standards, and organize seminars on prison maintenance

o fumigate the premises of one prison and support its maintenance and hygiene-promotion team

WOUNDED AND SICK

Objective: The wounded receive adequate care. Physically disabled people have access to good-quality

physical rehabilitation services.

Reinforcing medical and physical rehabilitation services

First-aid training for community-based first responders will aim to ensure that casualties are

stabilized and transferred to higher-level care; it will also give the ICRC opportunities to reinforce awareness of basic IHL, humanitarian principles, its own mandate, and the need to respect patients,

their caregivers and health staff in accordance with applicable law.

The ICRC has been providing two hospitals in northern Mali with comprehensive support: the one in

Kidal is the only provider of hospital care in the region and continues to receive a large number of referrals. Because of the intensified violence in central Mali, the ICRC will begin to support a third

hospital there. ICRC support will enable these facilities to overcome shortages of supplies and

equipment and inadequate staffing, improve service delivery and management, and meet the demand

for services; all this will enable people to receive medical care that meets international standards.

The ICRC will provide similar support for physical rehabilitation centres, to raise the quality of

services and make them more accessible to physically disabled people, including those with conflict-

related disabilities, and to facilitate their social inclusion. The ICRC will continue to work with the

ministry of solidarity to establish a new physical rehabilitation centre in Mopti; as there are currently

no such centres in the region, people have to travel all the way to Bamako for physiotherapy or

mobility devices. The new centre is still being built, and will be run under the ICRC’s Programme for

Humanitarian Impact Investment, which is carried out in partnership with the private sector.

Psychosocial support for victims of armed conflict or other violence will be made available at ICRC-

supported health facilities (see also Civilians).


Medical care

� provide community members, members of armed groups, and National Society volunteers and trainers with first-aid training and equipment; relay key messages of the Health Care in Danger ini-

tiative

� support hospitals in Gao, Kidal and Mopti in providing good-quality hospital services, through:

o donations of medicines, supplies and equipment

o staff reinforcement, training and supervision in areas such as infection control, hospital

management and weapon-wound surgery, including from ICRC surgical teams

o financial assistance for covering staff salaries, running costs and patients’ expenses for food and transport


PAGE 10 OF 14

� during emergencies, give additional support for up to seven hospitals (including the three men-

tioned above) in the form of kits for treating up to 200 wounded people, or the temporary de-ployment of an ICRC surgical team

Water and habitat

� renovate infrastructure at ICRC-supported hospitals and health-care centres (see also Civilians),

which have a total capacity of 216 beds; provide fuel and other supplies for running the generators

at the hospitals

� continue the construction of a new physical rehabilitation centre in Mopti

Physical rehabilitation

� support four physical rehabilitation centres – two in Bamako and one each in Gao and Tombouctou – in delivering good-quality services for up to 12,000 physically disabled people1 by:

o supplying the centres with components for prostheses and orthoses

o subsidizing treatment and the provision of assistive devices and, for patients from remote areas,

covering expenses for transport, accommodation and food

o providing support for maintaining equipment, and expert assistance and training in

administration, supply-chain management, and follow-up of patients

� support local associations in organizing sports activities or other events and initiatives promoting the rights and social inclusion of disabled people

� help the authorities draft and implement a national strategy for developing the physical rehabilita-

tion sector, which should include expanding the pool of qualified personnel

ACTORS OF INFLUENCE

Objective: Political decision-makers and all weapon bearers understand and respect IHL and other

fundamental rules protecting people during armed conflict or other violence, and incorporate them in

their decision-making. The media, NGOs and community or religious leaders help foster awareness of

humanitarian issues and IHL, thus securing greater respect for human dignity. All actors understand the

ICRC’s mandate and support its work and that of the Movement.

In addition to its protection dialogue and IHL dissemination efforts (see Civilians), the ICRC will

promote the incorporation of IHL in the training and operations of the Malian armed forces and

security forces; the aim is to foster long-term compliance throughout their ranks.

The ICRC will carry out public-communication initiatives and seek greater engagement with the media,

in order to broaden awareness of the humanitarian needs created by the conflict, and to familiarize

communities and all parties to conflict with its mandate and activities. The ultimate objective is to

secure acceptance for the work of the ICRC – and of other Movement partners – and facilitate

humanitarian access to people in need.

Cooperation with the authorities on IHL implementation will continue. The ICRC will make its

expertise available to all those concerned, to encourage ratification of IHL-related treaties, particularly the African Union Convention on IDPs, the Arms Trade Treaty and the Economic Community of West

African States (ECOWAS) Convention on Small Arms and Light Weapons. It will continue to provide support for the authorities to amend provisions of domestic laws relating to war crimes and weapons,

and to adopt a law on IDPs.

Events will be organized for academics in order to stimulate interest in IHL and to instil a deeper

appreciation for humanitarian issues in public debate.

� organize or participate in IHL training for Malian forces; enable senior officers to attend advanced

seminars abroad

� organize workshops and field visits for journalists; produce radio spots and other public-

communication material on IHL, humanitarian issues – such as those covered by the Health Care in

Danger initiative – and ICRC activities; issue joint press releases with Movement partners

� offer technical support for implementing IHL, and organize round-tables and seminars on the sub-

ject of IHL implementation for government officials, including civil and military magistrates

� arrange conferences and other events on IHL, and provide IHL publications, for university students

and professors

Support for the National Society

� provide the Mali Red Cross with training, and financial and operational support, for promoting IHL principles, particularly those linked to the protection of the red cross emblem

RED CROSS AND RED CRESCENT MOVEMENT

Objective: The Mali Red Cross has a strong legal basis for independent action and carries out its core

activities effectively. Movement components in Mali coordinate their activities and implement them in a

neutral, impartial and independent manner.

The National Society provides aid to people affected by armed conflict or other violence, and natural

disasters; because of its countrywide presence, it is well placed to assist vulnerable migrants passing through Mali. Together with Movement partners, the ICRC will provide the National Society with

support for strengthening its operational (see Civilians) and organizational capacities – for instance, by improving volunteer management and developing its branches in violence-prone areas.

In light of the volatility of the situation and recent security incidents, the ICRC will pursue close coordination with all Movement partners in the country, in order to minimize the risk to staff’s safety

while delivering an effective humanitarian response. Security management and strengthening public

perception of the Movement as a neutral, impartial and independent humanitarian actor will be

priorities.


� provide the National Society with training, expert guidance and financial, material and logistical support

� organize or participate in meetings and workshops to coordinate activities with Movement part-

ners in Mali, focusing on common security rules, codes of conduct, emergency preparedness and

incorporation of the Safer Access Framework in Movement operations
