Dogobala — Bamako Neighborhood
Peri-urban · Commune I (1st arrondissement) — Bamako · Bamako
Dogobala is a neighbourhood in the 1st arrondissement of the District of Bamako. Until 2023 it was a locality of the rural commune of Moribabougou, in the Kati cercle; the law of 13 March 2023 brought it into the District.
Population in 2023
According to the Directory of Localities of Mali (2023 edition) by the national statistics institute (INSTAT), Dogobala has 22,180 residents: 10,798 men and 11,382 women, or 95 men per 100 women. That is 2.3% of the 957,162 residents of the 1st arrondissement, where Dogobala ranks 15th of 21 localities by population.
Rapid growth
