| description |
The government of Malawi has
committed to addressing gender inequality and improving
women’s wellbeing. The government has implemented multiple
strategic development plans to guide policy creation and
implementation. The current ongoing strategic plan is the
Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MDGS) III, which is
aimed at alleviating poverty and fostering sustainable
economic growth. In January 2021 the government of Malawi
introduced the Malawi 2063 Vision, a strategic development
plan which aims for low-middle income status by 2030.i To
meet the goals set out in Malawi 2063, human capital
development, private sector development, economic
infrastructure, and environmental stability have been
highlighted as critical drivers to be addressed. While the
MDGS III and the Malawi 2063 Vision both include a focus on
gender equality, this is largely done through a human
capital and voice and agency lens, with considerably less
focus on how closing gender gaps in the productive economic
sectors can boost economic growth and poverty reduction. In
the MDGS, gender is placed under ‘other development areas’
and grouped together with issues relating to youth,
disability, and social welfare, with outcomes to be
monitored including those focused on access to basic
services, women’s roles in various levels of
decision-making, and gender-responsive budgeting. In the
Malawi 2063 Vision, gender is principally discussed under
the human capital ‘enabler’ section. |
