SUBJECT: MALI ADDRESSES LOW TIP RANKING 
 
REF: 09 BAMAKO 96 
 
1. Summary: Over the past several weeks, the Embassy held 
meetings with GOM officials to address Mali's Tier 2 
Watchlist ranking in the 2009 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) 
report.  Mali's anti-TIP standing has been affected by the 
GOM's failure to prosecute alleged traffickers.  A Justice 
Ministry official described the Ministry's re-engagement with 
the fight against trafficking in persons and said the 
Ministry's closer monitoring of new trafficking cases in the 
courts would lead to more prosecutions.  End summary. 
 
------------------------------------ 
Weak Law Enforcement And Prosecution 
------------------------------------ 
 
2. Due primarily to an active NGO network, Mali has 
demonstrated success in identifying and repatriating victims 
of trafficking.  NGOs such as Enda Tiers Monde and Mali Enjeu 
have assisted in the repatriation of hundreds of child 
trafficking victims over the past year (reftel).  Mali has 
also shown a capacity for law enforcement, as authorities 
were able to arrest a number of suspected traffickers.  These 
arrests have not been followed by prosecutions, however, and 
the traffickers were subsequently released either due to a 
lack of evidence or were released provisionally pending 
trial.  Cases in Kita and Sikasso have been stalled since 
2008 (reftel). 
 
3. A key challenge in Mali's efforts to combat trafficking in 
persons has been interministerial coordination, prescribed by 
a 2007 national action plan on child trafficking.  A 
committee on child trafficking, chaired by the Ministry for 
the Advancement of Women, Children, and the Family (MPFEF) is 
composed of 43 institutional members, including 13 government 
ministries, NGOs, and civil society representatives.  The 
purpose of the committee is to coordinate and provide 
oversight of the GOM's anti-TIP activities, but GOM members 
have so far failed to participate actively.

Embassy Engages GOM on TIP 
-------------------------- 
 
4. In response to Mali's drop to Tier 2 Watchlist status, the 
Embassy held a series of meetings with GOM officials at the 
MPFEF and the Ministry of Justice, two of the ministries 
central to the GOM's anti-TIP efforts.  On October 8, the 
Embassy met with Special Advisor to the Minister of Women, 
Children and the Family, Colonel Konipo.  Konipo said the 
Minister understands the potential ramifications for U.S. 
assistance and is committed to improving Mali's ranking. 
Konipo was recently designated the Ministry's focal point on 
TIP, replacing Director of the MPFEF's National Office for 
Women and Children Alou Barry, who had previously been the 
Embassy's point of contact on trafficking issues.  This came 
as a welcome change, elevating TIP as a political issue and 
promising to improve Embassy collaboration with MPFEF. 
 
5. On October 16, the Embassy met with the Secretary General 
of the Ministry of Justice, Badou Hasseye Traore, to explain 
Mali's ranking and the need to prosecute suspected 
traffickers.  Traore welcomed the Embassy's demarche, 
observing that TIP is an important issue and noting that the 
Ministry of Justice has designated its own point of contact 
on TIP, Special Advisor Bouya Dembele.  Dembele, with whom we 
met subsequently on October 21, said he is collaborating 
closely with MPFEF.  He said that, earlier in the same week, 
he had been called by Konipo to discuss the GOM's statistics 
on cases of trafficking over the past year as well as to 
discuss Mali's action plan, provided to Konipo and Dembele by 
the Embassy.  Dembele said the Justice Ministry previously 
tracked cases of trafficking closely but had failed to do so 
in the past three years.  He said this would be a renewed 
priority and should result in an increase in prosecutions. 
 
------------------- 
GOM Efforts Ramp Up 
------------------- 
 
6. Both Konipo and Dembele described their recent 
participation in a number of anti-trafficking initiatives. 
They served as representatives to an October Economic 
Community of West African States (ECOWAS) meeting in Abuja to 
discuss regional efforts to combat trafficking in persons. 
MPFEF officials participated in an October regional seminar 
organized by the International Organization for Migration 
(IOM) to discuss migratory flows, and MPFEF also co-hosted a 
conference with UNICEF in Bamako to discuss Mali-Cote 
d'Ivoire cooperation on addressing child trafficking between 
the two states.  Active collaboration between the Justice 
Ministry and the MPFEF, along with continued Embassy 
engagement, promises to yield positive results for Mali in 
the fight against TIP.
