Limited scoring coverage for Mali
The World Bank (WDI) and V-Dem — our primary sources for the Overall Score and its Economy, Governance, Quality of Life and Innovation categories — don't provide the complete series we score Mali from, so Mali's Overall Score and those categories show “No data” rather than an estimated number. This is a disclosed sourcing gap, not a fabricated zero.
Everything shown below is still sourced from providers that do cover Mali: geography, government and named industries from the CIA World Factbook; population and demographics from UN World Population Prospects 2024; the energy mix from Ember; and mineral reserves from USGS.
The record in plain text — overall score, categories, strengths and risks, momentum, resilience, strategic position, and diagnostics.
Strongest on Stability (20/100) — sharpest risk, active armed conflict.

Mali's defining asset is food processing, while its sharpest risk is active armed conflict — active organized-violence party this year (UCDP current-year toll).
Mali's Strategic Position score is 27 out of 100 (weak), weighing demographics, resources, stability, education, technology and geopolitics — each component sourced or derived, with unsourced components dropped rather than counted as zero.
