Summary
- Malawi acceded to the APRM in 2004 but has not yet undergone the country review process. It is now positioned for both self-assessment and peer review.
- Awareness of the APRM among Malawi’s citizens is low and civil society organisations in the country have identified several governance issues of relevance to the APRM to help address this.
- Many of the issues identified are overlapping and improvement in one area could be linked to the enhancement of another.
- The report finds that while many of the legal mechanisms for improved governance are in place, practical follow-through and implementation remain areas that require attention if governance and the overall socio-economic position of Malawians are to improve.
