Malawi: Effective Delivery of Public Education Services
04 July 2011
This report argues that missed opportunities in the education sector can be traced back more than 15 years to when,ironically, the Free Primary Education concept caused a vicious cycle of challenges which impeded on progress in the delivery of education services in Malawi. The report focuses on the issues of governance in the sector that place constraints on realising such goals as free primary education, capacity building of staff, investment in infrastructure and the increased efficacy of oversight mechanisms. While acknowledging the efforts that the line ministry for education in Malawi has made, the report makes recommendations on how governance in the sector could be further improved.

Malawi: Justice Sector and the Rule of Law
AfriMAP / OSISA
12 September 2006
This substantial report provides a comprehensive audit of the justice sector in Malawi, assessing the country’s performance sector against African and international standards. The Malawian government has made considerable progress since the country’s decisive break with Banda’s dictatorial regime in the early 1990s. The 1994 Constitution included a comprehensive bill of rights; management of the justice sector has dramatically improved over the past ten years, and significant progress has been made in reforming the criminal justice sector. On the negative side, law reform has been extremely slow, and statutory and customary laws inconsistent with new human rights obligations remain in place. Although court fees are relatively low, the high level of poverty and the prohibitive cost of legal fees mean that most Malawians have no access to formal justice -- yet traditional and informal mechanisms receive far less attention from those who have power over the legal sector.
This report, and the shorter discussion paper, which draws on the main report to put forward a set of focused findings and recommendations, is an essential resource for those working in the justice sector in Malawi or the region.
