11.2: Public Policy Formulation, Fiscal Management, Public Sector Management & Corruption
Other Information:
In Malawi, the public sector has been characterized by poor management that has generated inefficiencies in the delivery of
public goods and services. Government and its development partners are already addressing these challenges in the sector such
as wage policy reform, civil service structure reform, capacity constraints and corruption. Despite these efforts, poor civil
service incentive structures, inadequate financial and material resources, poor implementation structures, inadequate capacity,
political interference, transparency and accountability, fraud and corruption still remain major obstacles in the medium term.
In light of this, the focus in the medium term will be on strengthening public policy formulation, fiscal management and eliminating
corruption in addition to the on going reforms in the public sector. This will be premised on strong political will and management.
