 In 2009, over thirty per cent of Canadian development support to Mali was targeted to education and 20% to health.The precise fractions of Canada-to-Mali aid stipulated for the procurement of Canadian goods and services have not been reported.Canada's overall proportion of tied aid has declined steadily since the 1950s and 1960s, when it exceeded 80%; in the early 1990s, CIDA internal analysis found that 68–69% of disbursements for sub-Saharan Africa went to Canadian-sourced purchases, well above the 50% lower bound established at that time.
