Besides, does the composition of the Supreme National Defence Council and National Defence Committee reflect the representation of all the Security Sector's stakeholders, considering the country's political development? Is it today possible to set up a national decision-making body in charge of security without including therein the Chairman of the High Council of Local Authorities, Ministers in charge of Justice, Environment, Town Planning, Territorial Development, Communication, the Chairman of the Civil Society National Council and the Chairman of the National Youth Council? As for the National Defence Committee, its current composition does not take into consideration certain authorities involved in the management of security problems such as the Defence Chief of the Prime Minister's Office and the Director General of Civilian Protection, amongst others. Considering this delicate situation, clouded by many sources of insecurity, vulnerability and instability, the government of Mali adopted a framework of National Security Policy and Civilian Protection that would qualitatively improve security governance while combating, in a sustainable manner, internal and external threats to security. 37
