The Coordination des Associations et ONG Féminines du Mali (CAFO) was established in 1991 to promote the well-being of women, children and families through women’s rights advocacy, literacy training, health care, sustainable agriculture, and enterprise development. It currently has 2,500 member associations in all districts of the country, with 80% of its members based in rural areas and urban peripheries.
