Introduction
Already in 1991, a law on the protection of the environment included provisions on ESIA. The 1999 ESIA regulation provided more detailed information on the process. Since then, the ESIA system in Mali has been perfected through the publication of new and / or amended regulations. SEA was first created in the legislation in 2008, but only in 2018 the detailed SEA procedures were published.
