Oxfam Mali 506580 The PGLR+ (2021-2026)  program aims to continue to contribute to the challenge and the national effort to restore peace and stability in Mali. Together with consortium partners SNV, CORDAID, OXFAM, V4T, 18 implementing partners and young leaders the consortium will extend its actions from 180 municipalities to 240 municipalities in the regions of Timbuktu, Gao / Ménaka, Mopti and Ségou.

Based on the methodological achievements (tools, approaches, knowledge) and thehuman capital of young leaders developed in phase 1. The PGLR + consortium aims to expand a movement ofgrassroots citizens: the number of young leaders increases 5,000 to over 19,000,000 young leaders by reaching out to all villages, neighbourhoods, factions and camps for displaced people in the communes. The actions of young leaders will impact more than600,000 people, for example through inclusive and accountable governance within their associations (the regular holding of bodies), through civic behaviour (tax payments)or through accountable governance of local water, health and natural resources management committees (consultation of citizens by elected officials, accountability by managers of public services). Themes of interest for the emancipation of young people are discussed by young leaders through educational and cultural events, whether live (theater, slam) or virtual (social networks, media). The action is based on the assumption that a dynamic upward movement, reinforced in terms of leadership, knowledge, capacity for expression, demand for accountability and force of proposals, is the bearerof changes in favour of inclusive and transparent governance.
The strategic approach of the PGLR + leading to the overall objective of strengthening the social contract between citizens and those in charge of local public affairs, is articulated around the four axes of changes:
1. Expansion of a citizens' movement. Young womenand men, members or not of grassroots associations, are strengthened in knowledge of their rights and duties, citizenship, governance mechanisms of their association, their municipality and Mali. This allows them to improve their critical analysis and their powerof proposal for inclusive and accountable governance.
2. Increased transparency and accountability of public officials. Armed with this knowledge and capacities and using strategies of dialogue and collaboration, young leaders practice proactively to demand accountability from the leaders of their grassroots organizations, elected officials, managers of public services, facing their responsibilities. for transparent management.
3. Improving the performance of public officials in managing affairs and fulfilling the duties of citizens. The trust born out of dialogue and collaboration between citizens and public officials encourages citizens to fulfill their duties and stimulates public officials to be more efficient in the exercise of their responsibilities as managers of public affairs.
4. Institutionalization of the approach. For the sustainability of the achievements, the PGLR + will promote its approach through its collaboration with the Ministry in charge of Youth and Sports and its regional Directorates. In the same vein, the PGLR + will facilitate the participation of young leaders in strategic events, while relaying their voices and opinions through the media andsocial networks.
