PEMconsult conducted a desk appraisal of two bilateral projects, managed by the Danish Embassy in Bamako, Mali, for the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. These projects represent the second phases of the “Fonds d’Appui à la Création des Entreprises par les Jeunes” and the “Fonds d’Appui aux Moteurs du changement”. The projects begin their second phase of implementation in 2024, alongside the introduction of the new transition framework for Danish engagement in Mali spanning from 2024 to 2027. PEMconsult conducted the desk appraisal, evaluating the general justification of the project and an assessment on the project level aspects, and contributed expertise in private sector development.
