Digital Adoption in Mali
37% internet use · 0.3005 e-government
This profile brings together internet use, financial inclusion and UN e-government indicators for Mali, with source years shown alongside each figure.
Internet and Connectivity
Internet use in Mali is reported at 37% for 2024. The indicator measures individuals using the internet rather than subscriptions.
Mali is compared only where the same indicator definition is available for the country, its region and the world.
This is the latest internet-use observation directly verified for this page. Mobile cellular, active mobile-broadband and fixed-broadband values are intentionally not filled from secondary summaries or model estimates.
That distinction matters: subscription rates can exceed 100 per 100 people because one person can hold multiple active services, whereas internet use is a population share.
| Connectivity indicator | Mali | Year |
|---|---|---|
| Individuals using the internet | 37% | 2024 |
Digital Payments
Financial-inclusion indicators are shown separately from connectivity measures because they describe account ownership or payment use.
| Financial inclusion indicator | Mali | Year |
|---|
The financial-inclusion figures for Mali come from survey indicators and are kept separate from telecom subscription measures. Account ownership and payment use are distinct financial-inclusion measures. Missing observations are shown as unavailable.

The three component values shown here are from the same UN 2024 annex.
The digital gender gap
National internet averages can hide differences between groups, so gender-disaggregated data is kept separate from the headline adoption rate.
Mali's internet-use figure shown here is 37% for 2024. The percentage measures people using the internet, not subscriptions. The source year is shown with the figure.
Mali vs. Region and World
Cross-country comparisons require matching definitions and reference years. This page therefore keeps the country observation separate from unverified regional aggregates.
| Indicator | Mali | Comparison note |
|---|---|---|
| Internet use, 2024 | 37% | Directly verified ITU/World Bank country observation |
| Regional comparison | Not shown | No mismatched-year comparison inserted |
| World comparison | Not shown | No rounded secondary estimate inserted |

What the numbers say about Mali
What the numbers say about Mali
The strongest directly verified signal on this page is the internet-use rate: 37% in 2024. That points to a substantial remaining connectivity gap.
The page deliberately avoids turning missing telecom or financial-inclusion observations into assumptions. A blank verified value is more useful than a precise-looking number with weak provenance.
Data note: When comparing Mali with regional or global figures, use the year printed beside each value because collection periods can differ.
How to read this page
Internet use measures the share of people who used the internet during the reference period.
Subscriptions per 100 people are service counts and can exceed 100.
Global Findex is survey based and observations can differ by country and survey round.
EGDI is a composite UN digital-government index, not a general digital-adoption score.
Key Takeaways
Quick answers about the country’s digital-adoption figures.
What percentage of people in Mali use the internet?
37% in 2024.
Why are some Mali metrics marked ?
Because a current authoritative value was not directly verified for this page. DigifyWorld does not replace missing data with estimates.
Does mean zero adoption?
No. It only means the page does not currently publish a verified value for that metric.
How is digital government assessed?
Data note: No missing Mali value is estimated on this page; an unavailable observation remains clearly identified until a comparable source is published.
Why do the source years differ?
Telecommunications, financial-inclusion and digital-government datasets are released on different schedules, so each observation keeps its own reference year.
