| Overview : The Government of Malawi is developing an Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF) to mobilize required resources more effectively from domestic and international public and private sources for strengthening Malawi’s financing architecture for enhanced quality and scale of financing SDG-related national priorities, as espoused in the Malawi 2063 to be implemented through 10-Year Implementation Plans. The Government has recently approved the Development Finance Assessment (DFA/LLFA), which combined with Local level finance assessment to determine strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges in the financing architecture of the country. One key finding of the assessment is that resources are available to support implementation of the new national development strategies under the Malawi 2063 (MW2063). However, aligning the resources and coordinating state and non-state actors presents the major bottleneck that needs to be addressed. Further, a weak public financial management system, that has facilitated endemic misuse of resources, is a crosscutting impediment to actualizing most of these financing flows. There are also structural challenges within the financing ecosystem that urgently need attention. |
