   Introduction Mali
   -----------------
                            Background: The Sudanese Republic and Senegal
                                        became independent of France in 1960
                                        as the Mali Federation. When Senegal
                                        withdrew after only a few months,
                                        the Sudanese Republic was renamed
                                        Mali. Rule by dictatorship was
                                        brought to a close in 1991 with a
                                        transitional government, and in 1992
                                        when Mali's first democratic
                                        presidential election was held.
                                        Since his reelection in 1997,
                                        President KONARE continued to push
                                        through political and economic
                                        reforms and to fight corruption. In
                                        1999 he indicated he would not run
                                        for a third term, in keeping with
                                        the Malian constitution's two-term
                                        limit.

   Economy Mali
   ------------
                    Economy - overview: Mali is among the poorest countries
                                        in the world, with 65% of its land
                                        area desert or semidesert. Economic
                                        activity is largely confined to the
                                        riverine area irrigated by the
                                        Niger. About 10% of the population
                                        is nomadic and some 70% of the labor
                                        force is engaged in farming and
                                        fishing. Industrial activity is
                                        concentrated on processing farm
                                        commodities. Mali is heavily
                                        dependent on foreign aid and
                                        vulnerable to fluctuations in world
                                        prices for cotton, its main export.
                                        In 1997, the government continued
                                        its successful implementation of an
                                        IMF-recommended structural
                                        adjustment program that is helping
                                        the economy grow, diversify, and
                                        attract foreign investment. Mali's
                                        adherence to economic reform and the
                                        50% devaluation of the African franc
                                        in January 1994 have pushed up
                                        economic growth to a sturdy 5%
                                        average in 1996-2000. In 2001, GDP
                                        decreased by 1.2% mainly due to a
                                        50% drop in cotton production in
