Abstract

This article classifies the Regions of Mali by the ranking method based on data from the 2013 statistical yearbook of the Institute National of Statistic (INSTAT) and the Fourth General Population and Housing Census (GPHC, 2009). This classification distinguishes 3 main groups. It has been found that some regions excel in certain economic sectors, hence the importance of having this information to better design medium- and long-term economic development policies. Deficiencies in socio-demographic indicators have been identified in almost all regions.
