For more than 20 years, PSI Mali has sought to increase access to sexual and reproductive health information and services (including the diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer); eliminate malaria across the country; treat and prevent the five neglected tropical diseases; implement hygiene and sanitation interventions and promote health products, services and healthy behaviors that support consumers to lead healthier lives. Since 2013, PSI Mali has set up and maintained a private clinic network called ProFam. This network counts 150+ clinics, with most associated with the “Grin,” a program that supports young Malians aged 15–24 to gain the knowledge and tools to make, and own, their sexual and reproductive health and rights.
In 2020 (*and parts of 2021), PSI Mali reached 19.39 million users through product distribution and service provision. This includes:

With overarching commitments to flexibility in our work, and greater wellbeing for our employees, we want to ensure PSI is positioned for success with a global and holistic view of talent. Under our new “work from (almost) anywhere,” or “WFAA” philosophy, we are making the necessary investments to be an employer of record in more than half of U.S. states, and consider the U.S. as one single labor market for salary purposes. Globally, we recognize the need to compete for talent everywhere; we maintain a talent center in Nairobi and a mini-hub in Abidjan. PSI also already works with our Dutch-based European partner, PSI Europe, and we’re creating a virtual talent center in the UK.
