US funds for 2002 elections

    ABIDJAN
    The US government has released about US $120,000 for voter education and sensitisation campaigns in Mali, where elections are to be held in 2002. This is the first disbursement from a US $750,000 pledge for election-related activities in Mali, the US Embassy in Bamako said in a communiqué on Friday. Technical assistance to the interior ministry, media support and training, and support to political parties are also to be covered by the aid package. The pledge had been announced by US Secretary of State Colin Powell when he visited Mali in May as part of a four-nation African tour.
