In this paper, we analyse the coherence of development policies and foreign aid on income distribution and poverty in Mali. These policies are generally analysed independently. We focus our analysis on joint effects of these policies in Mali. We use a macro-micro CGE framework to analyse the coherence of development policies, trade policies, migration and foreign direct investment. Our results illustrate that policies with similar objectives can have quite different and powerful effects on poverty and income distribution. Taken in isolation most policies have a relatively small impact on income distribution with the exception of increases in agricultural world prices.
