The aim of the publication is to foster better-informed policy analysis and debate regarding the key challenges that Malawi faces in its endeavor to achieve high rates of stable, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth. Malawi’s economy is primarily based on agriculture and heavily reliant on its land resources to achieve social and economic development. The recently promulgated land acts have the potential to create multiple economic and social benefits for Malawi's citizens by improving investor confidence in the business environment, reducing the cost of documenting rights, supporting decentralization, improving land use planning, and protecting vulnerable groups’ land rights and livelihoods.

Part two focuses on a special selected topic relevant to Malawi’s development prospects. 2017-11-17T14:33:16Z 2017-11-17T14:33:16Z 2017-11-01 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/422571510808901529/Malawi-economic-monitor-land-for-inclusive-development http://hdl.handle.net/10986/28888 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Economic Updates and Modeling Economic & Sector Work Africa Malawi
