Malawi Governance and Public Finance Systems
Oslo: Norad (Norad Governance and Public Finance Studies ) 49 p.
This report examines four interconnected areas of governance in Malawi: Domestic Resource Mobilisation, Public Financial Management, Statistical Capacity, and Anti-Corruption. A key argument is that progress in these areas cannot be achieved in isolation. Stronger revenue mobilisation must be matched by effective expenditure management, reliable data, transparency, and robust anti-corruption mechanisms. For development partners, this highlights the importance of coordinated, system-wide support rather than fragmented interventions. Ultimately, sustainable reform will depend on strengthening institutions across these areas to improve accountability, fiscal resilience, and public service delivery.
