Programs

The United States has a substantial foreign assistance program in Malawi. The U.S. Government (USG) provides about $35 million annually in development assistance under USAID's Country Strategic Plan (CSP) for the period 2001-2007. The primary goal of USAID assistance is poverty reduction and increased food security through broad-based, market-led economic growth, focusing on four areas: sustainable increases in rural incomes, increased civic involvement in the rule of law, improved health behavior and services, and improved quality and efficiency of basic education. Recently, Malawi was named a Millennium Challenge Threshold Country. USAID/Malawi now also has an office managing that program. The USAID program is implemented in partnership with the Government of Malawi, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), other USG agencies, U.S. private voluntary organizations, contractors, and other partners.
