The Malawi Social Action Fund and community development

Paul Kishindo

University of Malawi, Chancellor College, PO Box 280, Zamba, Malawi

In 1996, with credit from the International Development Agency, the concessionary lending arm of the World Bank, the Malawi government established the Malawi Social Action Fund (MASAF) to assist the empowerment of local communities. The Fund is part of the government's poverty alleviation programme which is designed to promote employment creation and provide social and economic infrastructure. It is argued here that whilst this provides a useful experience in project management to local community members, there is a concern that ‘undeserving’ communities will be omitted.
