11: IMPROVED GOVERNANCE Other Information:
The success of the strategies suggested in the first four themes depends much to the prevalence of good governance. The main
tenets of good governance are issues to deal with good public sector management, absence of corruption and fraud, decentralization,
justice and rule of law, security, good corporate governance, and respect of human rights. In addition, the need for political
will and change of mindset within a democratic political environment is also envisaged to contribute positively towards the
attainment of economic prosperity and poverty reduction. Malawi will, therefore, endeavour to address concerns in these areas
as they underpin the achievement of all economic growth and social development objectives in the medium term. The need to
address concerns in all these sub themes cannot be over emphasised, as it is evident that the achievement of the long-term
national goals is dependent on good governance from all angles within the economy. As such, it is imperative that good governance
creates a conducive environment for the implementation of both economic and social activities. However, the deliverance of
good governance calls for collaborative efforts from all stakeholders because of the cross cutting nature of the issues at
hand. Again, political will and change of mindset within a democratic political environment is also critical if anything is
to be achieved. The country will, nevertheless, endeavour to address concerns in these areas through the various strategies
put forward and thereby contribute towards the achievement of all economic growth and social development goals.
