AECOM Technology Corporation (NYSE: ACM), a leading provider of
professional technical and management support services for public and
private clients in more than 140 countries around the world, announced
today it has been awarded a US$49-million task order to act as the
implementing partner for the Mali Transition Initiative (MTI) in support
of the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Office of Transition
Initiatives (USAID/OTI).
The three-year MTI program will provide the U.S. government with
assistance in Mali as it works to support broad-based inclusion and
participation in the restoration of participatory democracy and
increased public access to reliable information. The MTI also will have
a special focus on the immediate stabilization needs of northern Mali as
legitimate governance structures are re-established there.
“We look forward to assisting this key long-term client as it supports
and fosters peace and stability in Mali,” said AECOM Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer John M. Dionisio.
