Description

USAID/Malawi would like to contribute to the strengthening of Malawi’s public sector performance in service delivery through increased accountability and effectiveness thereby making service delivery responsive to local needs. The goal for this activity is to remove critical bottlenecks to public service delivery and contribute to broader understanding of effective governance practices in Malawi . The activity advocates for local solutions to local problems and promotes experimentation and positive deviance as a basis for evidence driven feedback to inform interventions and enable adaptation. It specifically provides a platform for learning and building on successful approaches to improving service delivery in Malawi’s Natural Resources, Agriculture, Education and Health sectors. USAID/Malawi proposes to support an integrated governance activity to facilitate mobilization and collaboration of local coalitions of stakeholders committed to addressing specific problems in their localities.
