Mali is ramping up its digitalization efforts with the launch of two new platforms aimed at improving public service delivery—Trésor Pay and the Land Information System/One-Stop Land Office (SIF/GUF).
Why it matters
The initiative is part of the Malian government’s broader strategy to leverage technology for economic growth and streamline administrative processes.
The details
- Trésor Pay, developed in collaboration with Malian mobile money operators, simplifies and secures payments for national ID and passport fees, traffic fines, and other services.
- SIF/GUF modernizes land management, allowing users to complete all property-related operations in one system, set to roll out across Bamako’s seven districts this year.
The big picture
The Malian government has been prioritizing digitalization, recently introducing a platform to ease access to identity and travel documents for the diaspora.
These efforts contributed to Mali’s rise in the 2024 UN e-Government Development Index, climbing 13 spots to 141st place.
What’s next
While digital services continue to expand, challenges remain in accessibility and efficiency. Officials expect these platforms to enhance governance, boost public revenue collection, and further improve Mali’s digital standing in the coming years.
