Abstract:

Mali has a total area of 1,241,238 km square and a population of eleven (11) million people. Its educational system features a low rate of school attendance, especially for girls. The Government of Mali has launched an initiative called the 10 Year Education Programme that aims to increase the gross rate of school attendance from 55% to 95% between now and the end of 2010 with a target of 45% female participation. To achieve the results of this project, the contribution of libraries is very significant, especially in the rural areas. These areas are isolated and do not offer easy access to reading materials.
