Delar av den svenska styrkan i Mali sampatrullerar med FN-polis i Timbuktu och samverkar med lokalbefolkningen om säkerhetsläget. Den svenska styrkan i Mali är en del av FNs stabiliseringsinsats MINUSMA (United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali), och utgörs av ett underrättelseförband och en nationell stödenhet. Huvuddelen av styrkan är placerad på Camp Nobel i utkanten av Timbuktu. Svenskarna är tillsammans med ett motsvarande nederländskt förband i Gao en del av det multinationella och fristående underrättelseförbandet ASIFU (All Sources Information Fusion Unit). Den 25 april 2013 antog FN´s säkerhetsråd resolution 2100, som med stöd av FN-stadgans kapitel VII inrättade en FN-ledd stabiliseringsinsats i Mali, MINUSMA. I FNs säkerhetsråds resolution 2227 ges MINUSMA sitt mandat att utföra fyra priotiterade uppgifter och två tilläggsuppgifter som bland annat infattar säkerhet, stabilisering och skydd av civila och stöd till återupprättandet av den Maliska statens kontroll av det egna territoriet. Det svenska underrättelseförbandet har till uppgift att stödja MINUSMAs uppfyllande av säkerhetsrådets mandat genom att leverera underrättelser som kan ligga till grund för MINUSMAs beslutsfattande.
