The High Islamic Council of Mali (Haut Conseil islamique malien, HCIM) is an organization created in January 2002[1] that brings together religious organizations and leaders responsible for interfacing with authorities.[2][3]

The Council is headed by a president from the national executive board elected for a five-year term.

Thierno Hady Boubacar Thiam, a moderate ulama who represented the Malikite majority, led the organization from 2003 to 2008.[1]

Mahmoud Dicko[2] led the Council from 2008 to 2019. At the end of his first term in 2014, Dicko was re-elected with 59 votes as compared to 27 for his competitor Thierno Hady Oumar Thiam.[4]

Since April 2019, the Council has been led by the Malikite Chérif Ousmane Madani Haïdara.[5][6] Haïdara had been the Council's vice president beginning in 2002, when the Council was created.[3]
