Drivers of Change and Development in Malawi

Published

This paper, an analysis of the drivers of change and development in Malawi, addresses three large questions:

  • Where is Malawi coming from?
  • Where is Malawi headed?
  • What are the challenges to the aid relationship?

It draws upon the experience, knowledge and internal debates of a diverse multidisciplinary team of consultants; an extended literature search; and a series of key-informant and focus-group interviews carried out in Malawi during 17-28 January 2005. The method is considered effective and reliable because of the opportunities it provides for interactive learning and cross-checking of facts and perceptions.
