Impact Evaluation of the FAO Cash Plus (+) Project 2023Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)
This study utilized econometric modeling to assess the impact of the 'Cash plus' intervention in the Nioro Circle of the Kayes region. It analyzed household survey data across 17 modules, including food security, livestock production, and non-farm enterprise profit, using regression analysis to isolate the program's effects from external variables.
The evaluation provided data-backed evidence on how cash transfers combined with agricultural support improved dietary diversity and household resilience, allowing for more targeted resource allocation in subsequent phases.

Mali Economic Update: Estimating the Cost of Instability 2022World Bank
Economists used event-study analysis and synthetic control methods to quantify the economic impact of political instability and insecurity in Mali. The study modeled the deviation of Mali's actual GDP from a 'synthetic' counterfactual to estimate the forgone private investment and growth since 2012.
The analysis estimated that insecurity cost Mali approximately 23% of its potential GDP between 2012 and 2018, providing a critical baseline for fiscal planning and international aid negotiations.
