He has also actively participated in the success of several initiatives that contribute to the better knowledge, valorization, and management of migration in Mali. In this regard, he developed the national strategy for the promotion of productive investments of the Malian diaspora, and he conducted various studies including the analysis of the ecosystem of migration statistics in Mali and the formulation of relevant guidelines on the development of national policies focused on the availability and better governance of migration data.

Mr. Dembélé has a good understanding of Mali's legal and institutional environment and its political and social context, which allows him to interact effectively with all national actors and international organizations working on migration issues. He has thus effectively contributed to the implementation of other actions of Mali's National Migration Policy (PONAM), through studies and research, in addition to capacity building of national actors.

By joining the network of legal experts on migration, Marc puts at the disposal of this network his capacities to contribute to research and analysis on policy and legislative developments at the national level, as well as to comparative analysis between the States represented.
