The restoration of a lasting peace in Mali is essential for long term stability in the Sahel region and in a broader sense for Africa and Europe.
At the request of the Malian Government and on the basis of UN resolutions, in particular the UN Security Council Resolution 2085, the Member States of the European Union agreed to establish a mission to train the Malian Armed Forces (MaAF), in the framework of the EU Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). The First Mandate for the EU-Training Mission in Mali was established in February 2013. In May 2014 the second Mandate was decided which will last until May 2016.

In order to continue providing military training and advice to the Malian Armed Forces and G5 Sahel the Council of the European Union prolonged the mission’s mandate, which will last until 18 May 2024.
The main locations of EUTM Mali deployment are Bamako and Koulikoro. However, since the approval of the 5th Mandate, EUTM Mali extended its activities throughout the country.
Koulikoro Training Camp (KTC) is the base on which most of EUTM Mali’s contingent is concentrated. It also hosts an important part of the training and advisory activities developed by EUTM Mali.
Since the approval of the 5th mandate, training and advisoring activities have been developed throughout the Malian geography. For the purpose of decentralization, EUTM Mali created the CMATT model.
