11.2.3: Corruption
The long-term goal is to make Malawi a corruption-free country. Other Information:
Corruption retards economic growth and development by diverting resources from socio-economic development activities into
coffers of a few. It discourages legitimate business investment, and reduces the public resources available for the delivery
of public goods and services especially to the poor. Despite efforts to curb corruption, cases of corruption are still on
the rise. The Anti-CorruptionBureau'seffectivenessis hampered by inadequate human and financial capacity in addition to the
need for reviewing other related laws. One of the main challenges in the medium term is, therefore, to ensure that corruption
and fraud prevention is improved while offenders face the law... Medium-Term Expected Outcomes: In the medium term, it is
expected that corruption and fraud will be reduced. This will be achieved through improved transparency and accountability
of goods and service delivery and zero tolerance to corrupt practices
