National Blueprint · One of 195
A nation of 25.2 million whose revised mining code and resolved gold dispute set growth near 5.5% for 2026, with public debt of 41.9% of GDP.
Perfect Nations values what Mali owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

01Assets · The cup · Sovereign Assets
Each is owned today, earns today, and can carry Mali toward seven basic standards of living for every citizen.
35%State stake allowed under the 2023 mining code
Gold carries exports; the code raises the nation’s share, now to be turned into roads, power and schools.
34.2%Of the land in agriculture, 2024
The inner Niger delta and the savannah: farmland that can feed the Sahel.
18.4%Of GDP from natural resource rents, 2021
What lies under the land already earns; the task is to turn the rent into lasting assets.
62.3%Of electricity from renewable sources, 2021
Power from water and sun already flows; every new connection can be clean.
25.2mCitizens, 2025
45.8% are under fifteen: the workforce and the market of the next generation.

03Solutions · The seven stars · Perfect Capita
Perfect Capita is the yearly cost, per person, of lifting everyone above the Living Line in all seven basic living standards, set with Mali in its own prices.
How Perfect Capita worksTap a star for its figure and source.
The price of Perfect Mali
To be set with Mali, from its own figures and in its own prices: Perfect Capita times the people of Mali, each year.
Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Mali. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures
Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group. Each figure links to its source.
The Solution for MaliEnergy
You rewrote your mining code to keep more of your gold, and the largest mine is working again.
On the last measure, nine in ten of your children could not read by the end of primary school. Let the gold buy the schools, the power and the water that the next generation needs.
“Gold leaves the ground once. Let it build schools that teach every child, every year.”
