National Council of Employers of Mali

The National Council of Employers of Mali (French, Conseil national du patronat du Mali, CNPM) is the national representative body of businesses and employers in the Republic of Mali. It was founded in 1980 as a government initiative to create a single representative body of private sector employers, answerable to the Minister of Labor and the Public Service.^[1]

Its original name, the "Fédération Nationale des Employeurs de Mali (FNEM)" was changed in 2003.^[1]

The organization is made up of over forty professional organizations and employers councils in each Region of Mali, which are represented at the national level. The membership is made up of business owners and leaders, not businesses.^[1]
