Resumen
Descripción
Malawi is in the process of moving away
from safety nets programming towards more long-term
predictable social protection programming that helps poor
households deal with risk and shocks through a more
institutionalized and coordinated approach. This report
provides a stocktake of social protection in Malawi for the
period 2003-2006, and, in partnership with the development
of a Malawi Social Protection Framework, aims to help Malawi
move towards a long-term social protection policy and
program. The report answers two specific questions: do the
range, goals and coverage of existing social protection
interventions (inventory) match up with the existing profile
of poverty, risk and vulnerability? Do the current
institutional and financing arrangements match up with the
need for institutionalized social protection in Malawi? In
order to answer these questions, we begin by describing the
poverty, vulnerability and risk profile in Malawi and by
developing a profile in Section 2 against which the coverage
of existing interventions discussed in Section 3 can be
matched. Section 4 matches the profile of poverty and
vulnerability with the array of interventions implemented as
safety nets interventions. In Section 5, the current
institutional arrangements for delivering social protection
in Malawi are assessed. Section 6 presents broad program
options in terms of funding and directions for social
protection, including lessons for the design and
implementation of social protection programs and pilots.
Section 7 raises a set of issues and challenges and provides
conclusions and recommendations.
