The disease also affects the quality of livestock, wildlife and their products. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) is the causative agent for human TB, while Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) predominantly causes TB in animals, though is also zoonotic. In Tanzania and other developing countries timely diagnosis of disease is hampered by poor access to appropriate capacity and technology to characterize the pathogen. This review explores the diverse methods available for the diagnosis and characterization of Mycobacterial species and strains isolated from both humans and animals in sub Saharan Africa. The review will identify knowledge gaps and highlight direction for future investigation of the interface TB risk, which could lead to a better regional control strategy. A systematic search of PubMed, Google and Google Scholar retrieved 716 published articles on TB and methods used with the aim of tracking the advancement in technology and to reflect where we are and what can best be done to improve the strategy for best control of the disease. The search terms included but not limited to “(Whole Genome Sequencing AND sub-Saharan Africa); (Diverse TB strains + Human +Animals) AND Tanzania + Africa + Sub-Saharan Africa; (Diverse TB strains + human+ animals) OR Tanzania + Africa + Sub-Saharan Africa)”. The review illustrates an advancement of technology from 1950s to 2000s with only 17.7% studies having been done using DNA-based methods and 81.3% being studies that used conventional methods. Most of the molecular studies cluster in the mid- to late 2000s which could be due to lack of expertise, slow adoption of technology or the high cost of running these valuable molecular tests. This overview on genotyping studies and trend in molecular studies highlights the need for more investment in this region of the world. An increased use of molecular methods will help in increasing the chances of detecting new TB strains in circulation and identifying potential risks for cross-transmission at humans-livestock-wildlife interface. A strengthened ability to detect and characterizes disease will better support country and regional control strategies.\r\nKey words: Mycobacterium strains, Trends, Genotyping studies, Advancing technology, Tanzania.', 'Erasto Mbugia*, Bugwesa Kataleb,g, Julius Keyyub, Sharon Kendallh, Anita L Michelc, Hazel M Dockrelld, Mark Rweyemamue, Paul D van Heldenf, Mecky Mateeg (2020), Tracking characterization of Mycobacterium strains in Tanzania and some sub-Saharan African Countries: An overview on genotyping studies, implication and trends in advancing technology.', 'Erasto Mbugia*, Bugwesa Kataleb,g, Julius Keyyub, Sharon Kendallh, Anita L Michelc, Hazel M Dockrelld, Mark Rweyemamue, Paul D van Heldenf, Mecky Mateeg, Tracking characterization of Mycobacterium strains in Tanzania and some sub-Saharan African Countries: An overview on genotyping studies, implication and trends in advancing technology(2020).', 'Erasto Mbugia*, Bugwesa Kataleb,g, Julius Keyyub, Sharon Kendallh, Anita L Michelc, Hazel M Dockrelld, Mark Rweyemamue, Paul D van Heldenf, Mecky Mateeg (2020), Tracking characterization of Mycobacterium strains in Tanzania and some sub-Saharan African Countries: An overview on genotyping studies, implication and trends in advancing technology.', 'Tracking.jpg', 'Neytech Solutions', 12, 28, 3), (7, 'The Role of Vector Control in Preventing and Responding to Rhodesian Human African Trypanosomiasis (', 'PIIVeC', '2017', 'Handouts', '', 'The-Role-of-Vector-Control-in-Preventing-and-Responding-to-Rhodesian-Human-African-Trypanosomiasis-r', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as ‘sleeping sickness,’ is a neglected tropical disease caused by subspecies of the parasite Trypanosoma brucei transmitted by tsetse flies (Glossina – Figure 1).

We aimed to use molecular genotyping to assess antimalarial drug resistance selection and spread in the Greater Mekong subregion.\r\nMethods In this observational study, we tested Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Myanmar, northeastern Thailand, southern Laos, and western Cambodia for PfKelch13 mutations and for Pfplasmepsin2 gene amplification (indicating piperaquine resistance). We collected blood spots from patients with microscopy or rapid test confirmed uncomplicated falciparum malaria. We used microsatellite genotyping to assess genetic relatedness.\r\nFindings As part of studies on the epidemiology of artemisinin-resistant malaria between Jan 1, 2008, and Dec 31, 2015, we collected 434 isolates. In 2014–15, a single long PfKelch13 C580Y haplotype (–50 to +31·5 kb) lineage, which emerged in western Cambodia in 2008, was detected in 65 of 88 isolates from northeastern Thailand, 86 of 111 isolates from southern Laos, and 14 of 14 isolates from western Cambodia, signifying a hard transnational selective sweep. Pfplasmepsin2 amplification occurred only within this lineage, and by 2015 these closely related parasites were found in ten of the 14 isolates from Cambodia and 15 of 15 isolates from northeastern Thailand. C580Y mutated parasites from Myanmar had a different genetic origin.\r\nInterpretation Our results suggest that the dominant artemisinin-resistant P falciparum C580Y lineage probably arose in western Cambodia and then spread to Thailand and Laos, outcompeting other parasites and acquiring piperaquine resistance. The emergence and spread of fit artemisinin-resistant P falciparum parasite lineages, which then acquire partner drug resistance across the Greater Mekong subregion, threatens regional malaria control and elimination goals.

We aimed to use molecular genotyping to assess antimalarial drug resistance selection and\r\nspread in the Greater Mekong subregion.\r\nMethods In this observational study, we tested Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Myanmar, northeastern Thailand,\r\nsouthern Laos, and western Cambodia for PfKelch13 mutations and for Pfplasmepsin2 gene amplification (indicating\r\npiperaquine resistance). We collected blood spots from patients with microscopy or rapid test confirmed uncomplicated\r\nfalciparum malaria. We used microsatellite genotyping to assess genetic relatedness.\r\nFindings As part of studies on the epidemiology of artemisinin-resistant malaria between Jan 1, 2008, and Dec 31, 2015,\r\nwe collected 434 isolates. In 2014–15, a single long PfKelch13 C580Y haplotype (–50 to +31·5 kb) lineage, which\r\nemerged in western Cambodia in 2008, was detected in 65 of 88 isolates from northeastern Thailand, 86 of 111 isolates\r\nfrom southern Laos, and 14 of 14 isolates from western Cambodia, signifying a hard transnational selective sweep.\r\nPfplasmepsin2 amplification occurred only within this lineage, and by 2015 these closely related parasites were found\r\nin ten of the 14 isolates from Cambodia and 15 of 15 isolates from northeastern Thailand. C580Y mutated parasites\r\nfrom Myanmar had a different genetic origin.\r\nInterpretation Our results suggest that the dominant artemisinin-resistant P falciparum C580Y lineage probably arose\r\nin western Cambodia and then spread to Thailand and Laos, outcompeting other parasites and acquiring piperaquine\r\nresistance. The emergence and spread of fit artemisinin-resistant P falciparum parasite lineages, which then acquire\r\npartner drug resistance across the Greater Mekong subregion, threatens regional malaria control and elimination\r\ngoals.

Malaria control\r\ntools are efficacious and effective in preventing the disease; however, the human behaviour aspect of the intervention\r\nstrategies is weak due to heavy reliance on positive human health behaviour. The challenge lies in adoption of control\r\ninterventions by the target population which, to an extent, may include access to prevention and treatment tools. We\r\npresent a qualitative assessment of the use of the Health Animator (HA) model for Information, Education and\r\nCommunication (IEC) to improve adoption and use of malaria control by promoting positive health behaviours.\r\n\r\nResults\r\nWe conducted 3 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and 23 individual in-depth interviews (IDIs) with HAs. Each\r\nFGD consisted of 8 participants. Data was analysed using QSR International NVivo 10 software. There are four main\r\nthemes emerging regarding HA experiences. The perceptions include; collaborative work experience, personal motivation\r\nand growth, community participation with health animation and challenges with implementation. Results suggest that\r\nHAs were pleased with the training as they gained new information regarding malaria, which affected their use of malaria\r\ncontrol interventions within their families. Knowledge was well assimilated from the trainings and influenced personal\r\ngrowth in becoming a community leader.

This research describes the micro-geographical\r\nepidemiology of both clinical malaria and subclinical Plasmodium infections in\r\nthree villages in Western Cambodia.\r\nMethods: Three villages in Western Cambodia were selected for the study based\r\non high reported Plasmodium falciparum incidence. A census was conducted at the\r\nbeginning of the study, including demographic information and travel history. The\r\ntotal population was 1766. Cross-sectional surveys were conducted every three\r\nmonths from June 2013 to June 2014. Plasmodium infections were detected using\r\nan ultra-sensitive, high-volume, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (uPCR)\r\ntechnique. Clinical episodes were recorded by village health workers. The\r\ngeographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) were collected for all houses and\r\nall participants were linked to their respective houses using a demographic\r\nsurveillance system. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants.\r\nResults: Most clinical episodes and subclinical infections occurred within a single\r\nstudy village. Clinical Plasmodium vivax episodes clustered spatially in each\r\nvillage but only lasted for a month. In one study village subclinical infections\r\nclustered in geographic proximity to clusters of clinical episodes. The largest risk\r\nfactor for clinical P. falciparum episodes was living in a house where another\r\nclinical P. falciparum episode occurred (model adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 6.9; CI:\r\n2.3 – 19. 8). Subclinical infections of both P. vivax and P. falciparum were\r\nassociated with clinical episodes of the same species (AOR: 5.8; CI: 1.5 – 19.7 for\r\nP. falciparum and AOR: 14.6; CI: 8.6 – 25.2 for P. vivax) and self-reported\r\novernight visits to forested areas (AOR = 3.8; CI: 1.8 – 7. 7 for P. falciparum and\r\nAOR = 2.9; CI: 1.7 – 4.8 for P. vivax).\r\nDiscussion: Spatial clustering within the villages was transient, making the\r\nprediction of spatial clusters difficult. Interventions that are dependent on\r\npredicting spatial clusters (such as reactive case detection) would only have\r\ndetected a small proportion of cases unless the entire village was screened within a\r\nlimited time frame and with a highly sensitive diagnostic test.

Human movement,\r\nsubclinical infections and complicated transmission patterns contribute to the\r\npersistence of malaria. This research describes the micro-geographical\r\nepidemiology of both clinical malaria and subclinical Plasmodium infections in\r\nthree villages in Western Cambodia.\r\nMethods: Three villages in Western Cambodia were selected for the study based\r\non high reported Plasmodium falciparum incidence. A census was conducted at the\r\nbeginning of the study, including demographic information and travel history. The\r\ntotal population was 1766. Cross-sectional surveys were conducted every three\r\nmonths from June 2013 to June 2014. Plasmodium infections were detected using\r\nan ultra-sensitive, high-volume, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (uPCR)\r\ntechnique. Clinical episodes were recorded by village health workers. The\r\ngeographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) were collected for all houses and\r\nall participants were linked to their respective houses using a demographic\r\nsurveillance system. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants.\r\nResults: Most clinical episodes and subclinical infections occurred within a single\r\nstudy village. Clinical Plasmodium vivax episodes clustered spatially in each\r\nvillage but only lasted for a month. In one study village subclinical infections\r\nclustered in geographic proximity to clusters of clinical episodes. The largest risk\r\nfactor for clinical P. falciparum episodes was living in a house where another\r\nclinical P. falciparum episode occurred (model adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 6.9; CI:\r\n2.3 – 19. 8). Subclinical infections of both P. vivax and P. falciparum were\r\nassociated with clinical episodes of the same species (AOR: 5.8; CI: 1.5 – 19.7 for\r\nP. falciparum and AOR: 14.6; CI: 8.6 – 25.2 for P. vivax) and self-reported\r\novernight visits to forested areas (AOR = 3.8; CI: 1.8 – 7. 7 for P. falciparum and\r\nAOR = 2.9; CI: 1.7 – 4.8 for P. vivax).\r\nDiscussion: Spatial clustering within the villages was transient, making the\r\nprediction of spatial clusters difficult. Interventions that are dependent on\r\npredicting spatial clusters (such as reactive case detection) would only have\r\ndetected a small proportion of cases unless the entire village was screened within a\r\nlimited time frame and with a highly sensitive diagnostic test. Subclinical\r\ninfections may be acquired outside of the village (particularly in forested areas)\r\nand may play an important role in transmission.', 'Daniel M. Parker, Rupam Tripura, Thomas J.

In the current context of\r\nglobalization and the predominance of cooperative work, it is crucial to analyze the participation of the countries\r\nand regions where the infection is most prevalent. This study assesses the participation of African countries in\r\npublications on the topic, as well as the degree of equity or influence existing in North-South relations.\r\nMethods: We identified all articles and reviews of HIV/AIDS indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection. We\r\nanalyzed the scientific production, collaboration, and contributions from African and Middle Eastern countries to\r\nscientific activity in the region. The concept of leadership, measured through the participation as the first author of\r\ndocuments in collaboration was used to determine the equity in research produced through international\r\ncollaboration.\r\nResults: A total of 68,808 documents published from 2010 to 2017 were analyzed. Researchers from North America\r\nand Europe participated in 82.14% of the global scientific production on HIV/AIDS, compared to just 21.61% from\r\nAfrica and the Middle East. Furthermore, the publications that did come out of these regions was concentrated in a\r\nsmall number of countries, led by South Africa (41% of the documents). Other features associated with HIV/AIDS\r\npublications from Africa include the importance of international collaboration from the USA, the UK, and other\r\nEuropean countries (75–93% of the documents) and the limited participation as first authors that is evident (30 to\r\n36% of the documents). Finally, the publications to which African countries contributed had a notably different\r\ndisciplinary orientation, with a predominance of research on public health, epidemiology, and drug therapy.\r\nConclusions: It is essential to foster more balance in research output, avoid the concentration of resources that\r\nreproduces the global North-South model on the African continent, and focus the research agenda on local\r\npriorities. To accomplish this, the global North should strengthen the transfer of research skills and seek equity in\r\ncooperative ties, favoring the empowerment of African countries. These efforts should be concentrated in countries\r\nwith low scientific activity and high incidence and prevalence of the disease.

The Medical Concierge Group (TMCG) is a digital health\r\ncompany, headquartered in Uganda, which leverages on mobile phone-based platforms – such as short messaging service\r\n(SMS), voice calling – and social media to deliver health services. Just over two-thirds (68%) of users of TMCG’s services\r\nare males between 18 and 30 years of age. SMS reminders have improved the honouring of health facility appointments\r\namong HIV-positive clients, from 60% to 90%; retention rates at supported health facilities have improved from 45% to 89%.\r\nFurthermore, information dissemination has been achieved via mobile SMS, wherein subscribers can access health content\r\non diverse topics – such as HIV/AIDS prevention and family planning – by sending messages to a pre-defined short code to\r\na phone line. Over 900 beneficiaries have accessed health content via SMS subscriptions. Social media platforms, including\r\nFacebook and Twitter, are used for health information dissemination and have enabled a wider reach to over 13 million\r\nbeneficiaries accessing health information on TMCG’s Facebook page alone. Tailoring mobile phone-based health content\r\nto meet the target beneficiaries’ needs is critical for TMCG’s impact and uptake.

Here, we report the patterns of facultative pathogenic bacteria colonizing the vagina of pregnant women to guide prophylactic antibiotic treatment in the management of PROM.\r\nMethods: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2015 and March 2016. High vaginal swabs were collected and processed to detect the presence of facultative pathogenic bacteria. Isolate identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing was conducted using MALDI-TOF MS and VITEK-2 system, respectively. Data were analyzed using STATA version 13.\r\nResults: A total of 175 pregnant women with PROM and 175 without PROM were investigated. The median age of the pregnant women with PROM was significantly higher than that of pregnant women without PROM: 27 [21-32] vs. 25[21-29], p=0.026. Pregnant women with PROM were significantly more likely to be colonized with facultative pathogenic bacteria 59/175 (33.7%), 95% CI; 26.7-40.7 than pregnant women without PROM; 27/175 (15.4%), 95% CI; 10.1-20.7, P<0.001.

Antibodies to Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) antigens are involved in prevention of infection and disease with some of the antigens being targeted as lead candidates in vaccine development. However, most of the studies have been done in malaria endemic areas with little information available on exposure and acquisition of protective antibodies in areas of low and unstable malaria transmission. This study sought to determine whether the extent of exposure to P. falciparum affect acquisition of protective antibodies by measuring antibody levels and determine the prevalence of circumsporozoite protein (CSP) and crude schizont extract (SE) in individuals living in an area with low unstable malaria transmission in Western Highlands of Kenya.\r\nMethods: Sixty plasma samples from individuals living in an area of low unstable malaria transmission in Western Highlands of Kenya were randomly selected and categorized into three age groups: <8years (n=25), 8-18years (n=21) and >18years (n=14). Antibodies levels in plasma were measured by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and compared to known positive and negative control plasma samples. Prevalence and levels of antibodies produced against circumsporozoite protein and schizont extract antigens were compared between age groups.\r\nResults. The prevalence of antibodies ranged from 0% to 14.29% at arbitrary units (AU)>2 for the two antigens. The antibody prevalence did not significantly increase with age (P>0.05) but correlated with CSP and SE antigens (r=0.5977; P<0.05).\r\nConclusion This study highlights antibody responses to CSP and SE antigens in individuals living in low and unstable malaria transmission. The levels of antibodies were generally low across all age groups and there were no significant differences among age groups.

Moreover, the individual aqueous extract and that combined with albendazole paralyzed the worm within shorter time (41.00 and 42.00 minutes respectively) compared to the conventional drug albendazole alone (48.67 minutes). Conversely, Albedazole killed the worms faster than any other extract in just 1.18 hours. Albendazole combined either with water or ethyl acetate killed the worm at 24th hour. Combined albendazole with petroleum ether extract could not kill the worm even after 24 hours.\r\nConclusion: From this study, combining the C. papaya seed extracts with albendazole did not shorten paralytic and anthelminthic activity on adult Pheretima posthuma. Carica papaya seeds extracts should rather be used individually and best when extracted in water.\r\nKey words: Antihelminthic, Carica papaya, Bioactive', 'Mudenda Muunda, Justus Brian Musubire, Gloria Nassali, Esdras Shumbusho, Veronica Atim, Patrick Ssematimba, Pheonah Kebirungi, Evans Atwijukire, Hedmon Okella (2020), Combined Effects of Carica papaya Seeds with Albendazole on Adult Pheritima posthuma.', 'Mudenda Muunda, Justus Brian Musubire, Gloria Nassali, Esdras Shumbusho, Veronica Atim, Patrick Ssematimba, Pheonah Kebirungi, Evans Atwijukire, Hedmon Okella, Combined Effects of Carica papaya Seeds with Albendazole on Adult Pheritima posthuma(2020).', 'Mudenda Muunda, Justus Brian Musubire, Gloria Nassali, Esdras Shumbusho, Veronica Atim, Patrick Ssematimba, Pheonah Kebirungi, Evans Atwijukire, Hedmon Okella (2020), Combined Effects of Carica papaya Seeds with Albendazole on Adult Pheritima posthuma.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 6, 9, 3), (67, 'Plants extract concoction from Capsicum annuum, Citrus sinensiss, Tagetes minuta and Allium sativum: A potent killer of bedbugs', 'Michael Kisongochi Walukhu, Robert Wanjala Nyukuri', '2020', 'Journals', '', '32-Article Text-121-1-10-20200513.pdf', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Background: Cimex lectularius Linnaeus and Cimex hemipterus L. (Bedbugs) are hematophagous ectoparasites which are a nuisance and public health menace. In recent past, bed bug infestation has been on the rise which is attributed to the emergence of resistance to commercial insecticides, particularly pyrethroids. Therefore, the aim of this investigation was to evaluate the insecticidal properties of aqueous extracts of different plants on bed bugs.\r\nMethods: Aqueous extracts separately obtained from four different plant materials; ripe fruits of Capsicum annuum L. (hot pepper), fruit peelings of Citrus x sinensis L. (citrus: orange), leaves of Tagetes minuta L. (Mexican marigold) and bulbs of Allium sativum L. (garlic) were studied against bedbugs in a controlled laboratory setting and their effect based on chemotaxis and mortality observed. The extracts were further tested in a field trial in seven villages randomly selected from Idakho central ward, Ikolomani constituency, Kakamega County, Kenya. The villages were assigned arbitrary identity as V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 and V7. Twenty households confirmed to be infested with the bedbugs were selected randomly from each sample village. Each village received specific treatment; V1, V2, V3, V4 and V5 were treated with 5ml of 10mg/ml of extracts from Capsicum annuum, fruit peelings of Citrus x sinensis, leaves of Tagetes minuta, bulbs of Allium sativum and a concoction of the four extracts at the ratio of 1:1:1:1 respectively. Village V6 was treated with commercial potent synthetic insecticide (Bedlum® 200SL, Jiansu Lanfeng biochemical, China with acetamiprid as active compound) as a positive control and village V7 was treated with distilled water as a negative control.\r\nResults: The laboratory findings showed that the bed bugs had negative chemotaxis to T. minuta and A. sativum and also showed some direct mortality. Capsicum annuum and C. sinensis had a direct killing effect on the bedbugs. The combination of extracts from the four plants showed 100% mortality within the shortest time of 10 seconds as compared to individual plant extracts. The findings from field trials showed higher perception of bedbug management of 90% for a concoction of the four extract as compared to individual plant extracts: 55%, 70%, 40% and 45% for C. annuum C. sinensis T. minuta and A. sativum respectively. Both laboratory and field trial findings showed that a concoction of the four named plants is a potent insecticide and can be used in bedbug management.

Stool samples were collected and cultured following standard microbiological procedures. Bacterial agents were isolated, identified and subjected to antibiotic susceptibility test. A total of 317 organisms (283 bacteria, 31 parasites and 3 others) were identified from 303 (76%) patients. Most frequently isolated pathogens being Non O1 Vibrio cholera 98(30.9%), Salmonella species 97(30.6%), Shigella species 47(14.8.0%) and Aeromonas species 38(12.0%). Non O1 Vibrio cholerae isolates were less sensitive to tetracycline, ampicillin and nalidixic acid. Salmonella species were less sensitive to ampicillin but sensitive to nalidixic acid. Shigella species isolates were more sensitive to chloramphenicol, cipplofloxin and nalidixic acid. Similar trend was observed for Aeromonas species isolates. The susceptibilities expressed were fairly good. However, some of the resistances shown pose a threat to public health, especially in unexposed populations.

Hematogenous spreads through synovial or subchondral or as a focus in the juxta-articular bone. The spread can also occur indirectly from osseous lesions of the epiphyseal bone in adults or metaphysis in children, which causes erosion in the joint space and becomes arthritis.\r\nCase: A 19-year-old female with a chief complaint of swelling in the right knee joint accompanied by pain and difficulty in the legs to move and straighten the body. Another complaint was cough with whitish sputum, fever and night sweating, decreased appetite, and loss of body weight.

This has opened up various arguments as to how the problem can best be tackled. This study looks at the analyses of gender violence in the Nigerian novel and how Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie presents this problem in her novels; Purple Hibiscus (2003) and Half of a Yellow Sun (2006).This research interrogates how Adichie presents gender violence in these novels and how it affects the female gender. This study demonstrates that the texts selected by its thematic preoccupation and character delineation show culture and tradition as strong factors in sex differentiation, creation of gender identities and power sharing. It also shows that socially constructed roles and identities contribute to domestic and social violence in patriarchal societies. The study examines the themes, metaphors and symbolic representation of characters through the feminist perspective and Max Weber‘s power theory. This is because the analyses of gender relations must take into cognizance theories of a person‘s biological sex and gender identity and how it affects power sharing and the role of tradition, laws and the dominant ideology in the perpetuation of gender-based violence.

In the advent of the\r\nglobal financial, food and fuel crises there are increasing calls for the scale up of such\r\nprograms to protect the poor and promote the human capital of children. As programs\r\nexpand, a number of design and implementation issues have begun to dominate the policy\r\ndebate, and one topic in particular is targeting, which has emerged as a contentious issue in\r\nprogram design in the region. A variety of approaches are used in the region , ranging from\r\nuniversal old age pensions, to means]tested child support grants, to a variety of community\r\nbased poverty and OVC targeted programs. To help better understand some of the different\r\ntargeting approaches in the region and their effectiveness, this paper examines three cash\r\ntransfer programs in Kenya, Malawi and Mozambique. All three countries employ\r\ncommunity based targeting mechanisms; each, however, targets different kinds of\r\nhouseholds and employs different methodologies. This study combines descriptive\r\nanalysis of the targeting process with quantitative analysis comparing the characteristics of\r\nbeneficiary households taken from program baseline evaluation surveys with\r\ncharacteristics of poor households based on national household surveys. The study uses\r\nmonetary, asset]based, and multidimensional measures to compare the effectiveness of the\r\nprogramsf targeting when using economic poverty measures vs. multidimensional\r\nmeasures. It then assesses these measures of effectiveness in light of the program\r\nobjectives and desired beneficiary populations, and explores policy implications for the\r\ndifferent targeting approaches.', 'Sudhanshu Handa, Carolyn Huang, Nicola Hypher, Clarissa Texeira, Fabio Veras, Benjamin Davis (September 2020), Targeting effectiveness of social cash transfer programmes in three African countries.', 'Sudhanshu Handa, Carolyn Huang, Nicola Hypher, Clarissa Texeira, Fabio Veras, Benjamin Davis, Targeting effectiveness of social cash transfer programmes in three African countries(September 2020).', 'Sudhanshu Handa, Carolyn Huang, Nicola Hypher, Clarissa Texeira, Fabio Veras, Benjamin Davis (September 2020), Targeting effectiveness of social cash transfer programmes in three African countries.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 6, 18, 3), (105, 'The Malawi Social Cash Transfer and the impact of $14 per month on child health', 'Candace M.

While conditional cash transfer programs in Latin\r\nAmerica have yielded encouraging impacts on child health, there is little evidence on the\r\nimpact of unconditional cash transfers in Africa. \r\nData Sources: This mixed methods study, includes a longitudinal household survey with a panel of intervention and control households and qualitative interviews and focus groups. Quantitative data collection occurred before intervention households received the cash transfer at baseline and one year later, at endline, before comparison households became recipients. Qualitative data collection occurred after intervention households had received the cash for at least six consecutive months.\r\nStudy Selection: Study households were identified in a community targeting process\r\nseparate from the evaluation study. Among clusters of 1,000 households, ten percent of\r\nhouseholds that were ultra poor (in the lowest expenditure quintile) and labor constrained (no able-bodied worker or unfavorable dependency ratio) were targeted to receive the transfer. For the evaluation, we randomly selected the targeted households in four village \r\nDraft in review.

The greatest impacts include a 13 percentage point difference in the proportion of underweight 0 to 3-year-olds, a 0.5 centimeter gain in height among 5 to 18-year-olds, and a 10 percentage point reduction in reported illnesses among children aged 0 to 18 years in intervention versus comparison households.\r\nConclusions: In Malawi, the SCTS appears to have positive impacts on child health and\r\ngrowth, suggesting that conditional transfers may not be necessary for children to\r\nexperience important gains in health.\r\nKey words: Cash transfer, social protection, child health, anthropometry, Malawi', 'Candace M.

One manifestation of this potential divisiveness is the often expressed opinion voiced in community meetings, or by key informants, that ‘we are all poor here’. This is more often than not articulated by respondents as a plain statement of fact, not as special pleading nor with undertones of victimization. This paper examines the circumstances\r\nof small economic difference giving rise to the sentiment captured by ‘we are all poor here’, utilizing income distribution data from three SSA countries to illustrate important cautionary features that arise for the workable scaling up of cash transfers in Sub-Saharan Africa. The paper focuses on differences in per capita consumption in the long tail representing up to 60 per cent of the population that typifies national income distributions in the poorest countries.\r\nThe paper first reprises the efforts made by practitioners to narrow down eligibility to cash transfers to the destitute or ultra-poor, often defined as those unable to attain even the minimum acceptable level of calorie intake from their own efforts.

It focused on establishing the social and legal circumstances that have shaped the condition and position of the female offender. To do this it was necessary to understand and probe the system of\r\njustice delivery and its accessibility to women who commit crimes. The research revealed that before women are confronted with the law, they try to seek redress to their problems by consulting other informal structures of justice delivery such as marriage counsellors and chiefs. This aspect and the testimonies of women themselves brought to light a number of social impediments that determine the status quo for women offenders and the\r\ntrigger factors in the commission of crime.\r\nThe research has brought to light a number of socio-legal problems that women who have committed crime face apart from the practical problems that they have in prisons. Poverty, gender, socio-cultural beliefs, illiteracy and marriage relationships are pertinent issues in the woman offender’s story. Legally, the study has established that there are many legal bottlenecks at different points of the criminal justice delivery system and these affect women disproportionately more than men. It is thus imperative that a gender differentiated approach\r\nshould be used in processing women when they commit crime. The practical problems arising from keeping women as offenders are influenced by the inherent structural problems that prisons have, the physical\r\nneeds of women stemming from their sex and gender and the failure of the prison system to address the problems in a gender sensitive manner.

In all three countries, cash transfers were generally perceived as an acceptable and appropriate response to poverty by key national stakeholders.

Another dimension of the study was to demonstrate\r\nthe potential impact of implementing a full cycle of policy research, analysis\r\nand engagement using the case of seed and fertilizer input vouchers. The\r\nstudies were carried out in Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia. The first phase\r\nof the study focused on reviewing voucher-related literature and updating\r\nprevious studies done on the subject. The second phase involved rapid field\r\nresearch consultations with stakeholders in Malawi and Zambia, and further\r\nmining of existing survey data in Mozambique.\r\nThe first phase has revealed that a number of interventions are used in\r\nMalawi, Mozambique and Zambia to assist households facing chronic food\r\ninsecurity to increase their productivity and improve their food security. These\r\ninclude direct input distribution to target households, seed vouchers and fairs,\r\nstarter packs, and vouchers of different types. The Zambian Government uses\r\ndirect input distribution through the Fertilizer Support Program and Program\r\nAgainst Malnutrition’s Food Security Pack. NGOs and international\r\norganizations in Zambia and Malawi also use direct input distribution. There\r\nare also pockets of seed vouchers and fairs being used by NGOs and donors\r\nin all the three countries.\r\nThe starter pack scheme and targeted input program were used in Malawi\r\nfrom 1998 to 2004. Currently, the Malawi Government is implementing a\r\ncombination of direct input distribution and vouchers. The voucher system\r\nwas first tested in Malawi in 1999 alongside the starter pack program. The\r\nresults showed that flexi-vouchers are the most economically enhancing tool\r\nfor smallholder farmers, especially the poorest. Distribution of flexi-vouchers\r\nallowed households to have freedom in the selection of goods. The Malawi\r\nstudy and other international literature reveal a number of likely outcomes\r\nfrom use of vouchers. First, utilization of local retail outlets for distribution\r\ninstead of distribution of pre-packaged inputs increases availability of desired\r\ngoods such as fertilizer at retail level. Second, direct input distribution such as\r\nthe starter packs has minimal impact on enhancement of household\r\ndiscretionary cash and maize production. Third, direct input distribution does\r\nnot allow the private sector to expand its retail distribution networks\r\ncountrywide into the rural areas, as is apparent in Mozambique and Zambia\r\nwhere the private sector normally operates only in urban and peri-urban areas. Fourth, direct input distribution is costly to government and is\r\nsusceptible to pilferage and fraud compared to the voucher-based systems.\r\nA number of key conclusions are derived from the individual second phase\r\ncountry reports. In Malawi, the input voucher program has improved food\r\nsecurity at household level and increased maize surplus at national level from\r\n0.5 million MT surplus in 2005/06 season to 1.3 million MT in 2006/07. The\r\nmaize yields have increased from less than one tone to about 2.04 MT/ha.\r\nOther benefits include growth and expansion of private sector business;\r\ncreation of competition among players; increased use of new technologies\r\nand increased per capita use of fertilizer and seed.\r\nIn Mozambique, the country report focused on determining smallholders’\r\nprobability of buying maize seed, and the effect of seed emergency programs\r\non smallholders’ likelihood to purchase maize. The econometric study showed\r\nthat smallholders who receive emergency seed are less likely to buy\r\ncommercial or marketed seed. Thus, emergency seed programs are likely\r\npreventing the development of Mozambique’s commercial seed market.\r\nIn Zambia, the study observed that the input voucher system, if it has to target\r\na larger population of beneficiaries would inevitably attract, and require the\r\npublic interest of government and indeed the donor community. To harness\r\nthis inevitable public interest without encouraging a return to government\r\ncontrolled markets, it would be imperative that the general principles of a\r\npublic-private partnership be involved. In this partnership one would perceive\r\nprivate sector (seed stockists, manufacturers, agencies, distributors) being\r\nimplementers while government would retain the role of facilitator and policy\r\nguider.\r\nThe country reports further show that one way to make the vouchers or\r\ncoupons more effective is for governments to consider percentile coupons.\r\nSuch coupons can indicate for example that 75% of the value is for fertilizer,\r\n10% for seed, 5% for chemicals and 10 % for labor. In this way vouchers can\r\nhelp a government to achieve social objectives through commercial means.\r\nAlternatively, efforts should be made to ensure that if the voucher value is\r\nless than the cost of the inputs, then farmers should be allowed to redeem the\r\ndifference for cash or for other necessities. Flexi-vouchers can be redeemed\r\nfor inputs or for other basic needs from shops.\r\nx\r\nThus, the input voucher study has qualitatively and quantitatively confirmed\r\nthat it is possible to use a voucher system to integrate the commercial and\r\nnon-commercial input distribution systems in Malawi, Mozambique and\r\nZambia while also targeting those most in need.

This study considers the Malawian tourism industry and finds that its colonial legacy, post-colonialism development thinking and the national education system explain the prevalence of a ‘CSR as philanthropy’ agenda. When these factors interact with socio-economic governance challenges and societal expectations, however, the universality thesis that has often been associated with CSR theorization and implementation can be challenged.

A recent DfID/ODI (2015) report recommended that humanitarian\r\naid organisations should “give more cash transfers” and that CTs should be “central to humanitarian crisis response”1. CTs are perceived as ‘empowering’ as they allow people choice and options, and are seen to\r\ncontributing to local development by stimulating local markets.\r\nHowever, the impacts of CTs are not gender neutral, as CT programming tends to be rooted in gender assumptions. It is generally assumed that targeting women for CTs increases the likelihood that the money will benefit the whole family; as women are seen as “the rightful recipients of the transfers, as women use cash for the households more responsibly than men”2. It is also assumed that giving cash to women empowers them economically, as “giving women money will give them the voice and power to raise their status within the household and the community, ultimately promoting gender equality”3. Concern Worldwide has commissioned a gender analysis of CTs in Mchinjiand Nsanje districts to unpack how these assumptions play out within the specific context of Mchinji and Nsanje districts in Malawi, to ensure that CT programming ‘does no harm’ while reducing the vulnerabilities of the poorest people.\r\nThe analysis aims to analyse the impact that emergency cash transfers have on intra-household gender dynamics, to capture learning, which will inform Concern and others’ future cash transfer programmes both in Malawi and more broadly.', 'Elizabeth Molloy, Dr. Boran Altincicek (2016), Gender Analysis for MVAC Emergency Cash Transfer Programme.', 'Elizabeth Molloy, Dr. Boran Altincicek, Gender Analysis for MVAC Emergency Cash Transfer Programme(2016).', 'Elizabeth Molloy, Dr. Boran Altincicek (2016), Gender Analysis for MVAC Emergency Cash Transfer Programme.', '01Capture.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 22, 48, 3), (136, 'The use of napier grass ( Pennisetum purpureum) and maize (Zea mays) bran as low-cost tilapia aquaculture inputs', 'Fredson J.K.

An increasing number of African governments have launched such programmes in the past ten years, especially to provide assistance to households caring for orphans and vulnerable children or to labour-constrained households. Cash transfer programmes in African countries have tended to be unconditional (i.e. regular and predictable transfers of money are given directly to beneficiary households without conditions or labour requirements) rather than conditional (i.e. recipients are required to meet certain conditions such as using basic health services or sending their children to school), which is more common in Latin America. Most of these programmes seek to reduce poverty and vulnerability by improving food consumption, school attendance, and nutritional and health status.\r\nThe Malawi Social Cash Transfer (SCT) programme was initiated in 2006 in the pilot district of Mchinji, providing cash grants to ultra-poor households without any able-bodied adult household members (‘labour-constrained’ households). The objectives of the programme include reducing poverty and hunger in vulnerable households and increasing school enrolment. A rigorous impact evaluation of the pilot in Mchinji district was designed and implemented during the pilot phase in 2007/08. Results from this initial evaluation indicated strong positive impacts of the pilot on household food security, children’s schooling, health, and household possession of productive assets (Miller et al., 2010). The Government of Malawi (GoM) has gradually expanded the SCT to six additional districts across the country (Chitipa, Likoma, Machinga, Mangochi, Phalombe, and Salima), although it only operates at full scale in Likoma and Mchinji. The SCT is currently operational in seven districts and reaches over 30,000 ultra-poor and labour-constrained households and approximately 103,000 individuals.

Massive and fast accumulation of waste is difficult to handle especially in urban areas where space is scarce. Accumulation of waste results the development of harmful toxins, bacteria, and odors. Moreover, it can lead to soil and ground water contamination. These challenges are spread in Malawi where the field study took place. More precisely, the research was done in two cities; Lilongwe (the capital) and Blantyre (the commercial city). The overall aims of this paper are (i) to explore urban waste management strategies and market in Malawi (ii) to determine the actors and their role in urban waste market (iii) to understand the economic and social benefits of urban waste management. The study was conducted for two months. Thirteen interviews with different stakeholders in the waste management business were carried out. Three urban waste marketing activities were identified in the study areas namely; trade of compost produced from organic wastes , trade of plastic waste for industry and residential waste collect by small local companies. The compost market has a huge potential for development due to the large quantity of organic waste produced, minimum competition for organic wastes and the simplicity of the process (no need for high technology to compost waste). The existing waste activities generate job opportunities and improve the livelihood of urban dwellings. Both women and men are equally represented in the business; however, they do not work together and often don’t have the same tasks. For example women are cleaning the plastic waste while men are in charge of the collect and the process. However, the willingness of the government to promote private initiative regarding to waste management and marketing is very poor. All of the respondents identified lack of support from public authorities and regulations as a main challenge for waste management and marketing. Moreover, fuel price, lack of training and market visibility were the common impediments for the stakeholders\r\nOther results are found and are discussed all along the thesis. However these results must be carefully handled as the sample chose for the study is very small (13 interviews). Additionally, the respondents provided data that couldn’t be verified since it could be a personal choice by the respondents to overestimate their success or their issues, so there might be a bias towards quantitative as well as qualitative data.

It is taken for granted that introducing social protection in low income countries is that much harder due to constraints arising from underdevelopment, fragmented political and policy processes, reduced tax base, and weak administrative capacity. The paper examines existing social protection programmes in order to illuminate on the strength of these constraints, and the nature of potential remedies. The paper concludes that the experience of low-income countries shows there are many policy options available to them. It also concludes that while deficits in finance and operational capacity are much less tractable, global partnerships can work effectively to lift these constraints.\r\nKeywords: social protection, social exclusion, political constraints, low-income countries', 'Armando Barrientos (2007), Introducing basic social protection in low-income countries: Lessons from existing programmes.', 'Armando Barrientos, Introducing basic social protection in low-income countries: Lessons from existing programmes(2007).', 'Armando Barrientos (2007), Introducing basic social protection in low-income countries: Lessons from existing programmes.', '01Capture.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 0, 0, 3), (148, 'Cash Transfers and Social Protection', 'Stephen Devereux', '2006', 'Journals', '', 'Cash_Transfer_Devereux_Oct2006.pdf', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Social protection has risen rapidly to the top of the policy agenda for many donors, governments and NGOs in southern Africa, where cash transfers have simultaneously emerged as a preferred mechanism for delivering social protection to poor and vulnerable people. The policy debates are moving so fast, and the evidence is accumulating so rapidly, that there never seems to be an appropriate time to take stock. Nonetheless, although much more is known now than 2-3 years ago, many significant knowledge gaps still remain. Some of these unresolved issues are explored in this paper: Are cash transfers inflationary? Are cash transfers empowering or disempowering\r\nfor women? Do beneficiaries prefer food aid or cash?\r\nThe first part of this paper defines social protection as a set of responses to vulnerability, and considers whether cash transfers are an appropriate response to various sources of vulnerability. Not surprisingly, cash transfers are found to be an appropriate and effective means of mitigating some vulnerabilities, but are less effective and wholly inappropriate for addressing others. The second part of this paper asks whether cash transfers are the most appropriate response, in particular by comparing cash transfers with food transfers. We find that cash transfers have many advantages over food aid, but that there are circumstances and contexts in which food aid might be the more effective and appropriate intervention. This division separates out the nature of vulnerability from the nature of the social protection response, which is important because many interventions are designed and implemented without asking these two questions: (1) what specific source of vulnerability are we trying to mitigate? (2) what is the most appropriate social protection response to this source of vulnerability?\r\nSocial protection is a set of responses to vulnerability, but it needs to be tailored to the specific sources of vulnerability and forms that vulnerability takes. A fundamental distinction can be drawn, for instance, between ‘demographic vulnerability’ and ‘economic vulnerability’. Demographic vulnerability is idiosyncratic, and can be related to physical characteristics (e.g. disability that prevents someone from working for a living) demographic factors (e.g. households with high dependency ratios, such as ‘skip generation’ households comprising only older people caring for young children) and life cycle changes (e.g. retiring from the workforce, or needing to take maternity leave). Economic vulnerability relates to conditions in the production system (e.g. a drought that triggers harvest failure), markets (e.g. seasonal food price rises, or unaffordable fertiliser prices), and the policy environment (e.g. constraints on local or cross-border trade) that undermine the efforts of working people to achieve and sustain a viable livelihood. While many forms of economic vulnerability can be mitigated with short-term safety nets or social insurance mechanisms, demographic vulnerabilities might require permanent social welfare transfers.\r\nTwo general conclusions follow from this analysis. Firstly, the design of any social protection programme should neither be ideological (e.g. a decision to introduce cash transfer programmes as a reaction against food aid) nor driven by the availability of resources (e.g. “surplus dumping” of food aid), but by an assessment of the nature of vulnerability and an understanding of the economic environment (specifically a market analysis) and the socio-cultural context (especially a gender analysis) into which the social protection programme is to be introduced. Secondly, vulnerability can only be sustainably reduced if social protection measures are institutionalised within national governments, where citizens have enforceable claims, rather than implemented and financed at the whim of donors and international NGOs. Cash transfer pilot projects must become part of nationally owned social protection programmes. This requires citizens to mobilise to claim these rights, and it requires accountable and responsive governments.', 'Stephen Devereux (2006), Cash Transfers and Social Protection.', 'Stephen Devereux, Cash Transfers and Social Protection(2006).', 'Stephen Devereux (2006), Cash Transfers and Social Protection.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 0, 0, 3), (151, 'The Effects of Receiving Cash Transfers as Adolescents on Future Outcomes', 'Sarah Baird, Ephraim Chirwa, Craig McIntosh, and Berk Özler', '2015', 'Handouts', '', 'Cash Transfers and Future Outcomes - Ozler.pdf', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'There is currently large interest in investing in adolescents, particularly adolescent girls (UNAIDS, Global Fund, Nike Foundation, WB, etc.) Simultaneously, there is an increasingly louder group of development economists advocating for unconditional cash transfers (UCTs) for poverty reduction (Blattmanand Niehaus, 2014; Kenny, 2015, etc.) The confluence of these two trends have policymakers trying to design programs that address a set of diverse issues for adolescents –programs that rely, at least in part on cash transfers (e.g. WB SP project in Zambia) But, they still have to contend with the same design issues as before –perhaps more daunting with the recent evidence on CCTs vs. UCTs (vs. LCTs). One of the important issues, at least in SSA, is that school dropout is early and is closely linked with the start of childbearing (and marriage) during adolescence. So, CCTs for schooling have to contend with the large group of non-compliers…', 'Sarah Baird, Ephraim Chirwa, Craig McIntosh, and Berk Özler (2015), The Effects of Receiving Cash Transfers as Adolescents on Future Outcomes.', 'Sarah Baird, Ephraim Chirwa, Craig McIntosh, and Berk Özler, The Effects of Receiving Cash Transfers as Adolescents on Future Outcomes(2015).', 'Sarah Baird, Ephraim Chirwa, Craig McIntosh, and Berk Özler (2015), The Effects of Receiving Cash Transfers as Adolescents on Future Outcomes.', '0001Capture.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 20, 54, 3), (152, 'RETHINKING GOVERNANCE AND CONSTITUTIONALISM IN AFRICA: THE RELEVANCE AND VIABILITY OF SOCIAL TRUST-BASED GOVERNANCE AND CONSTITUTIONALISM IN MALAWI', 'Mwiza Jo Nkhata', '2010', 'Dissertations', '', 'Complete.pdf', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'The failures of constitutionalism and good governance in Africa are well documented.\r\nImportantly, these failures have also highlighted the importance of constitutionalism and\r\ngood governance in Africa. This study centrally explores the relevance and viability of social\r\ntrust-based governance and constitutionalism in Malawi, specifically, and Africa, generally.\r\nSocial trust-based governance and constitutionalism is an approach to governance and\r\nconstitutionalism that is informed by the trust concept and is also fully mindful of local\r\nconditionalities in its operationalisation. By referring to the Constitution of Malawi and other\r\npieces of legislation in Malawi, this study demonstrates that there is a legal basis for\r\narticulating and practising social trust-based governance and constitutionalism in Malawi.\r\nThis legal basis stems primarily from sections 12 and 13 of the Constitution but is also\r\nsupported by legislation like the Corrupt Practices Act, Public Finance Management Act,\r\nPublic Procurement Act and the Public Audit Act.\r\nIn spite of the fact that there is a basis for social trust-based governance and\r\nconstitutionalism in Malawi it is evident that governance and constitutionalism in Malawi\r\nhave not, so far, been practised in line with the stipulations of the social trust-based\r\napproach. The current approach to governance and constitutionalism in Malawi is heavily\r\nsteeped in the liberal democratic tradition. In this connection, this study demonstrates the\r\nlimitations of the liberal democratic approach to governance and constitutionalism in Malawi\r\nprincipal among which is the lack of autochthony. Since the apparatus of liberal democracy\r\nhas subsequently become quite entrenched in Malawi and most African countries, it is\r\nargued that the way forward involves creating a synthesis out of liberal democracy and the\r\nnorms, traditions and values indigenous to Africa. This study identifies the philosophy of\r\nubuntu as being an important source of values and principles that can be utilised to confer\r\nsome autochthony to governance and constitutionalism in Malawi, specifically and Africa,\r\ngenerally. The approach adopted in this study concedes that neither a rigid insistence on\r\nliberal democratic constitutionalism nor a strict adherence to ubuntu-based governance and\r\nconstitutionalism can succeed in Malawi. The solution is to utilise values from both traditions\r\nin order to generate a viable approach to governance and constitutionalism.\r\nIn this study, the viability and relevance of social trust-based governance and\r\nconstitutionalism is demonstrated by reference to the relationship between the branches of\r\ngovernment, public resource management and the accountability of public functionaries and\r\ncitizenry empowerment in Malawi. This study argues that a social trust-based approach to\r\ngovernance and constitutionalism can improve the relations between the branches of government, reinvigorate public resource management and also enhance accountability of\r\npublic functionaries and empower the populace in line with the Constitution’s vision. The\r\nConstitution, as the supreme law of the land, thus remains integral to governance and\r\nconstitutionalism in Malawi.\r\nKeywords: Governance, constitutionalism, democracy, ubuntu, public resource\r\nmanagement, trust, fiduciary obligations, public functionaries, accountability, participation.', 'Mwiza Jo Nkhata (2010), RETHINKING GOVERNANCE AND CONSTITUTIONALISM IN AFRICA: THE RELEVANCE AND VIABILITY OF SOCIAL TRUST-BASED GOVERNANCE AND CONSTITUTIONALISM IN MALAWI.', 'Mwiza Jo Nkhata, RETHINKING GOVERNANCE AND CONSTITUTIONALISM IN AFRICA: THE RELEVANCE AND VIABILITY OF SOCIAL TRUST-BASED GOVERNANCE AND CONSTITUTIONALISM IN MALAWI(2010).', 'Mwiza Jo Nkhata (2010), RETHINKING GOVERNANCE AND CONSTITUTIONALISM IN AFRICA: THE RELEVANCE AND VIABILITY OF SOCIAL TRUST-BASED GOVERNANCE AND CONSTITUTIONALISM IN MALAWI.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 17, 46, 3), (153, 'Conceptualising empowerment and the implications for pro poor growth A paper for the DAC Poverty Network', 'Rosalind Eyben, Naila Kabeer and Andrea Cornwall', '2008', 'Public Reports', '', 'Conceptualising Empowerment Cornwall et al.pdf', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'This paper proposes a framework for how empowerment can be conceptually understood and operationally explored. It makes recommendations for forthcoming areas of work within the POVNET Work Programme on empowering poor women and men to participate in, contribute to and benefit from growth. The full Terms of Reference are in Annex B. In responding to our terms of reference the authors have sought to introduce ideas and evidence from latest publications on this theme, combined with findings from our own research. We understand empowerment happens when individuals and organised groups are able to imagine their world differently and to realise that vision by changing the relations of power that have been keeping them in poverty. The implications of this understanding can be explored through the different facets of „social\", „economic\" and „political\". These are conceptual tools for identifying complex and mutually dependent processes that development actors can support and facilitate for achieving pro-poor growth. We pay particular attention to „economic empowerment\" as an entry point because of the considerable research that POVNET can draw upon to synthesise and disseminate what has been learnt about how changes in one sphere of relations – for example in relation to financial institutions enabling people to procure loans - may not necessarily trigger changes in another sphere such as in local politics or within the household. Without such broader processes of change, changes in just this one sphere may be easily reversible. Donors can play a useful role in helping design such interventions so they may have a helpful multiplier effect in other social and political spheres leading to pro-poor growth. Empowerment – „power within\" and „power with\" – generates collective action for reducing societal inequities, securing more equitable access to labour, land and financial markets and the development of more responsive and accountable state institutions. These in turn contribute to further processes of empowerment, for example through strengthening the conditions for a productive population by delivering public services that connect to people\"s needs and wishes, through legal changes to social and political status and through social protection measures – all of which shape patterns of growth that are inclusive and equitable, with the potential for creating a virtuous cycle of empowerment with higher state revenues from a skilled, taxpaying workforce that has an investment in the society it is helping shape rather than being shaped by.', 'Rosalind Eyben, Naila Kabeer and Andrea Cornwall (2008), Conceptualising empowerment and the implications for pro poor growth A paper for the DAC Poverty Network.', 'Rosalind Eyben, Naila Kabeer and Andrea Cornwall, Conceptualising empowerment and the implications for pro poor growth A paper for the DAC Poverty Network(2008).', 'Rosalind Eyben, Naila Kabeer and Andrea Cornwall (2008), Conceptualising empowerment and the implications for pro poor growth A paper for the DAC Poverty Network.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 0, 0, 3), (154, 'Criteria and Processes for Identifying the Poor as Beneficiaries of Programs in Developing Countries', 'Florence Morestin, Patricia Grant & Valéry Ridde', '2009', 'Journals', '', 'Criteria_and_Processes_for_Identifying_the_Poor_as.pdf', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Since the 1980s, most developing countries have adopted a policy of user fees for health care services. Such\r\npolicies, however, reduce access to services for those unable to pay.

One option\r\nis to eliminate this type of policy by abolishing health services user fees altogether. Other options consist of leaving\r\nuser fees in place but developing mechanisms to shelter the poor from their negative effects: exempting the poorest\r\nfrom user fees (with or without health equity funds); developing health insurance that includes special measures for\r\nthe poor.

Most often, the marginalization of vulnerable groups is overlooked in both the planning and practice of health service delivery. Such marginalization may occur because authorities deem the targeting of those who already have better access to healthcare a cheaper and easier way to achieve short-term health gains. The Government of Malawi wishes to achieve an equitable and inclusive HIV and AIDS Policy. The aim of this study is to assess the extent to which the Malawi Policy review process addressed regional and international health priorities of equity and social inclusion for vulnerable groups in the policy content and policy revision process.\r\nMethods: This research design comprised two phases. First, the content of the Malawi HIV and AIDS Policy was assessed using EquiFrame regarding its coverage of 21 Core Concepts of human rights and inclusion of 12 Vulnerable Groups. Second, the engagement of vulnerable groups in the policy process was assessed using the EquIPP matrix. For the latter, 10 interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of representatives of public sector, civil society organizations and development partners who participated in the policy revision process. Data was also collected from documented information of the policy processes.\r\nResults: Our analyses indicated that the Malawi HIV and AIDS Policy had a relatively high coverage of Core Concepts of human rights and Vulnerable Groups; although with some notable omissions. The analyses also found that reasonable steps were taken to engage and promote participation of vulnerable groups in the planning, development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation processes of the HIV and AIDS Policy, although again, with some notable exceptions. This is the first study to use both EquiFrame and EquIPP as complimentary tools to assess the content and process of policy.\r\nConclusion: While the findings indicate inclusive processes, commitment to Core Concepts of human rights and inclusion of Vulnerable Groups in relation to the Malawi HIV and AIDS Policy, the results also point to areas in which social inclusion and equity could be further strengthened.\r\nKeywords: EquiFrame, EquIPP, Equity, Social Inclusion, Vulnerable Groups, Human Rights Core Concepts\r\nCopyright: © 2018 The Author(s); Published by Kerman University of Medical Sciences.

Social cash transfers form a part of social protection programmes, and many have\r\nbeen piloted and/or introduced around southern Africa. Evidence from impact evaluations shows\r\nthat, in addition to promoting food security, social cash transfers have additional beneficial\r\neffects. These are wide ranging and extend beyond the direct recipient of the transfer to the\r\nwider family. For the recipient, there is evidence to suggest that cash transfers promote self\r\nesteem, social status and empowerment. They also improve food security and nutritional status,\r\nnot just for the transfer recipient, but also for other household members.

The Integrity survey2 is a concept hinged on measuring integrity of specific institutions under scrutiny. Transparency International (2009) defines integrity as the behaviours and actions consistent with a set of moral or ethical principles and standards, embraced by individuals as well as institutions that create a barrier to corruption. As for this study, integrity is defined as stakeholders’ perceptions and experiences about the degree to which public officials distance themselves from corruption and bribery (Anti-Corruption & Civil Rights Commission, 2007).\r\nThe Pilot Phase survey targeted two public institutions namely: Immigration and Citizenship Services (ICS) and Directorate of Road Traffic and Safety Services (DRTSS).\r\nThrough this report, ICS and DRTSS should be able to understand their level of integrity from the spectrum of perceived and potential integrity. These Departments are expected to work towards improving and enhancing their services through systematic correction and other engagements to embrace a meaningful change.\r\nThe report is also expected to provide the Bureau3 and the Government with reliable information on the conditions of service delivery and the prevalence of corruption in the country, as it is based on the first-hand experience of corruption and fraud.\r\nThe Bureau would like to adopt the Integrity survey-Integrity Assessment- by conducting such surveys every two years in more than 10 selected Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) using either donor funds or Malawi Government - Other Recurrent Transaction (ORT) funds, in partnership with National Statistical Office. This will continually measure integrity and evaluate the anti-corruption measures initiated by respective ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) based on survey findings.\r\nThe Government of the Republic of Malawi under ORT solely funded this Pilot Integrity survey.

Social protection programmes such as cash transfers and\r\nexpanded public works were also important instruments for raising domestic\r\ndemand in many of the stimulus packages that were introduced to counter\r\nthe downturn. As the world starts a fragile recovery, however, there may be\r\na temptation to roll back programmes as the intensity of the economic shock\r\ndissipates. Countries could instead explore opportunities for prioritising and\r\ninstitutionalising social protection programmes.\r\nMuch evidence suggests that, when properly designed and implemented, social\r\nprotection not only protects the vulnerable but is also an investment in future\r\ngrowth and prosperity. In this light, the aftermath of the global crisis provides an\r\nopportunity to improve and expand social protection programmes where they\r\nalready exist, and to create new ones where they are absent. Social protection\r\nshould not be seen as merely a safety net to be deployed when times are\r\ndifficult; neither is it a panacea for development, but it can be key to promoting\r\nstrong and inclusive growth.\r\nA recent South-South dialogue organised by IPC-IG and held in Johannesburg\r\nfrom 11 to 14 October 2010 showed that governments in the global South are\r\ncomfortable with broad definitions that emphasise the expansion of capabilities\r\nand opportunities. For instance, in South Africa social protection “seeks to\r\nprovide the basic means for all people living in the country to effectively\r\nparticipate and advance in social and economic life, and in turn to contribute to\r\nsocial and economic development.” Presentations at the dialogue from Zambia,\r\nBrazil, East Timor and other countries used similar language, placing formal and\r\ninformal mechanisms for social protection at the very core of their national\r\ndevelopment strategies.\r\nTraditionally, social protection programmes have been regarded as important\r\nbecause of concerns for equity and because they are a means of directly\r\nalleviating poverty. Emerging micro-level evidence, however, shows that such\r\nprogrammes can have strong efficiency effects and thus can be growth-enhancing.\r\nThis can occur through increasing poor people’s access to assets—by enabling\r\nthem to buy livestock, building productive infrastructure such as roads and\r\nirrigation, promoting education and health, or reducing risk so that people can\r\nuse assets more efficiently.\r\nMoreover, there is substantial evidence that the inability of many families to\r\nmanage and cope with risks leads to sub-optimal investment and consumption\r\nchoices that may harm economic efficiency. Social protection can also contribute\r\nto economic growth by reducing inequality and strengthening social justice and\r\ncohesion. On the other hand, concerns about perverse incentives and leakages\r\ncan be addressed through well designed programmes. Expressions of concern\r\nabout the unaffordability of social protection programmes are often\r\nexaggerated, especially in view of the programmes’ benefits.\r\nAccording to the participants at the South-South dialogue, this also means that\r\nthe current practice of viewing social protection as the exclusive purview of\r\nministries of gender and social development needs to be rethought. While these\r\nministries have a clear role in the implementation of specific aspects of the social\r\nprotection agenda, there is a need to involve a range of other stakeholders more\r\ndirectly. Clearly, community representatives have critical roles to play, namely\r\nin ensuring accountability and in the effective delivery of transfers and services.\r\nElected representatives in legislatures are instrumental in providing the legal basis\r\nfor a country’s social protection system and for institutionalising citizens’ rights.\r\nIn the executive, ministries of finance and planning need to drive discussions not\r\nonly on the fiscal space for financing social protection programmes (an important\r\nissue in its own right), but also on how to entrench social protection more\r\neffectively in a country’s longer-term development strategy, as a means of\r\nmaking the growth process stronger, more resilient and more inclusive.', 'International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (2010), Poverty in Focus.', 'International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth, Poverty in Focus(2010).', 'International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (2010), Poverty in Focus.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 0, 0, 3), (174, 'Exploring the Politics of Land Reforms in Malawi: A Case Study of the Community Based Rural Land Development Programme (CBRLDP)', 'Blessings Chinsinga', '2008', 'Journals', '', 'IPPGDP20.pdf', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'The main argument of this paper is that the experiences of the CBRLDP are unlikely to provide valuable\r\nlessons to aid the scale up of the model across the country because of the critical disjuncture between the\r\nneoliberal drive guiding the reforms and the popular perception of how land redistribution should actually\r\nproceed in communities with excess land. They favour restitution as a means of rectifying land tenure\r\ninequities perpetrated by both the colonial and postcolonial regimes contrary to the CBRLDP initiative\r\nwhich unequivocally advocates a market-based land redistribution on a willing-buyer and -seller basis.\r\nMoreover, the government’s commitment to address the question of land once and for all remains at the\r\nlevel of rhetoric despite the consensus that land is a primary productive resource in the country and one\r\nwhich holds the key to poverty reduction. The outcomes, successes and failures of the CBRLDP have been\r\nfurther driven, influenced and shaped by political processes resulting from the interaction and contestation\r\nof diverse stakeholders involved with the CBRLDP and endowed with differing forms and varying degrees\r\nof power, authority and influence. The major lesson from the CBRLDP implementation experiences is that\r\nthe design, reform and implementation of pro-poor institutional arrangements are not merely a technical\r\nor managerial matter, but a profoundly political exercise.

However, while imperative, HIV treatment and testing\r\nwill not be sufficient to address the epidemic among adolescents in Southern and Eastern Africa. In particular, use of condoms\r\nand adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) remain haphazard, with evidence that social and structural deprivation is\r\nnegatively impacting adolescents’ capacity to protect themselves and others. This paper examines the evidence for and potential\r\nof interventions addressing these structural deprivations.\r\nDiscussion: New evidence is emerging around social protection interventions, including cash transfers, parenting support\r\nand educational support (‘‘cash, care and classroom’’). These interventions have the potential to reduce the social and economic\r\ndrivers of HIV risk, improve utilization of prevention technologies and improve adherence to ART for adolescent populations in the\r\nhyper-endemic settings of Southern and Eastern Africa. Studies show that the integration of social and economic interventions\r\nhas high acceptability and reach and that it holds powerful potential for improved HIV, health and development outcomes.\r\nConclusions: Social protection is a largely untapped means of reducing HIV-risk behaviours and increasing uptake of and\r\nadherence to biomedical prevention and treatment technologies. There is now sufficient evidence to include social protection\r\nprogramming as a key strategy not only to mitigate the negative impacts of the HIV epidemic among families, but also to\r\ncontribute to HIV prevention among adolescents and potentially to remove social and economic barriers to accessing treatment.\r\nWe urge a further research and programming agenda: to actively combine programmes that increase availability of biomedical\r\nsolutions with social protection policies that can boost their utilization.\r\nKeywords: social protection; HIV/AIDS; adolescents; HIV prevention; adherence.', 'Lucie D Cluver, Rebecca J Hodes, Lorraine Sherr, F Mark Orkin, Franziska Meinck, Patricia Lim Ah Ken, Natalia E Winder-Rossi, Jason Wolfe and Marissa Vicari (), Social protection: potential for improving HIV outcomes among adolescents.', 'Lucie D Cluver, Rebecca J Hodes, Lorraine Sherr, F Mark Orkin, Franziska Meinck, Patricia Lim Ah Ken, Natalia E Winder-Rossi, Jason Wolfe and Marissa Vicari, Social protection: potential for improving HIV outcomes among adolescents().', 'Lucie D Cluver, Rebecca J Hodes, Lorraine Sherr, F Mark Orkin, Franziska Meinck, Patricia Lim Ah Ken, Natalia E Winder-Rossi, Jason Wolfe and Marissa Vicari (), Social protection: potential for improving HIV outcomes among adolescents.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 0, 0, 3), (180, 'Investigating the Drivers of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the Global Tea Supply Chain: A Case Study of Eastern Produce Limited in Malawi', 'Andrew Ngawenja Mzembe, Adam Lindgreen, François Maon and Joëlle Vanhamme', '2016', 'Journals', '', '78194', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Using a case study of the tea producer Eastern Produce Malawi, this research investigates\r\nwhich factors influence companies upstream in global tea supply chains to adopt a corporate\r\nsocial responsibility (CSR) agenda.

The agricultural economy\r\nis dominated by small-scale farms (tended by people known as ‘smallholders’) that produce commodity crops (mainly tobacco,\r\ncoffee and cotton) and food for subsistence (maize, pulses, roots and tubers). Most smallholders cultivate less than one hectare.\r\nPoverty is deep and widespread across the land. As a result of their weak asset base, low technology adoption, limited land and\r\nlabour constraints, the majority of rural households are highly vulnerable to shocks, whether generalized (such as drought) or\r\nhousehold-specific (such as death). This weak resilience has hindered the ability of smallholders to move out of poverty and of the\r\ncountry to develop rapidly. Despite these structural impediments, there is now quantifiable evidence that measures intended to\r\nreduce smallholder vulnerability have begun to pay off, resulting in a decline in relative and absolute poverty. The benefit seemingly\r\nextends to all strata of the Malawian poor, urban and rural. Strengthening small farms has contributed towards rapid economic\r\ngrowth within the agricultural sector and broader economy, whilst, at the household level, it has led to improved food security as\r\nwell as asset accumulation (cash, livestock and durable goods).\r\nThis paper describes and analyses the impact that pro-poor programmes and social protection (SP) measures in particular have\r\nhad on reducing poverty and mitigating the vulnerability of the Malawian poor. Social protection here refers to the broad range of\r\nmeasures designed and implemented by the state and its partners in development to reduce poverty and strengthen the resilience\r\nof the population to shocks. The case focuses on the agricultural sector and its labour market dynamics. Over the past 15 years, a\r\nrange of SP measures has been instituted; the measures that have been most extensive in scale and scope, whilst having the greatest\r\nimpact on poverty, are those that have sought to enhance the productivity of small-scale agriculture through input subsidies. The\r\npaper also examines the impact of these programmes and considers their potential to reduce poverty through providing decent\r\nwork within the agricultural sector and through the role of agriculture as an engine of economic growth.\r\nThe research for this paper was desk-based, drawing upon the latest secondary literature (including reports and surveys) and primary\r\ndata on crop production from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MoAFS). The findings are informed by the important\r\nnational surveys undertaken by the National Statistical Office (NSO), in particular the 2008 national population census (NSO, 2008a),\r\nthe 2008 Welfare Monitoring Survey (WMS) (NSO, 2008b), the Finscope report (2009) and the earlier Integrated Household Survey 2\r\n(IHS2) (NSO, 2005). The research uses the comprehensive Malawi Poverty and Vulnerability Analysis (MPVA) (GoM, 2006), which\r\ndescribes in detail the causes and characteristics of poverty.

These\r\nundoubtedly have contributed to the crisis. But there is another cause,\r\nwhich has been even more significant – inappropriate policies of donor\r\nagencies, led by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).\r\nHunger and food shortage has always been a problem in Malawi, hence\r\nthe poor nutrition levels of 32 per cent of the population. In the past, food\r\nshortages have been addressed through food aid from donors and\r\ngovernment subsidies for basic food channelled through the grain board,\r\nthe Agricultural Development and Marketing Corporation (ADMARC). This\r\nsystem has allowed the people of Malawi to survive the seasons of\r\nadverse weather, and the government corruption and mismanagement\r\nwhich has persisted through years of good harvest and bad.\r\nHowever, over the past twenty years the agriculture sector has been\r\nrestructured by the IMF and World Bank, under their structural adjustment\r\npolicies. In agriculture, these policies are supposedly aimed at improving\r\nefficiency and productivity. But, as in other countries such as Zambia and\r\nMozambique, the donors have ignored the reality of farming systems in\r\nMalawi and have assumed that markets will be able to meet social aims;\r\nto supply food at affordable prices throughout the country, and to ensure\r\nthat smallholder farmers can feed their families. Instead, Malawi now\r\nfaces chronic food insecurity. The IMF/World Bank policies in Malawi’s\r\nagricultural sector, supported by the bilateral aid donors, have failed.\r\nPrior to these reform programs, the Malawi Government could ensure\r\nfood availability even in the remotest areas of the country. Through\r\nsubsidies and controlled prices, farmers were assured of affordable farm\r\ninputs and grain stores were maintained in remote areas.', 'Kwesi Owusu and Francis Ng’ambi (2002), Structural damage The causes and consequences of Malawi’s food crisis.', 'Kwesi Owusu and Francis Ng’ambi, Structural damage The causes and consequences of Malawi’s food crisis(2002).', 'Kwesi Owusu and Francis Ng’ambi (2002), Structural damage The causes and consequences of Malawi’s food crisis.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 11, 31, 3), (183, 'TRADE AND INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE IN MALAWI: OPPORTUNITIES AND POLICY CHALLENGES', 'Lawrence Mapemba', '2009', 'Corporate Reports', '', '42608', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'The study establishes that Malawi has gone through three stages of trade and industrial policy. During the colonial era the main focus was on production and trade of agricultural commodities, namely coffee, tobacco and tea. In the post-independence era, Government sought to industrialise by pursuing import substitution policies. The poor economic performance experienced in the late 1970s and early 1980s led to Government adopting economic liberalisation policies under the Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPs) which were expected to reverse the trends experienced in the 1980s. However, evidence from studies show that manufacturing activities declined during the SAPs period.\r\nAgainst this background, Government adopted a new development planning framework, the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS) which seeks to transform the country from net importer and consumer to net producer and exporter. The MGDS has adopted trade and private sector development as a viable means to achieve economic growth and a reduction of poverty. Implementation of the MGDS has started bearing fruit in some sectors such as agriculture, where Government has managed to achieve food security. There are substantial policy reforms aimed at enhancing the performance of trade and industry. Government has applied a range of policy measures including investment and export incentives, an expanded market through regional integration and trade agreements,\r\nii\r\ninfrastructure development and the creation of a favourable policy environment. However, little progress has been made in particular areas such as that of the diversification of exports.\r\nAs such, the country’s economic structure has remained unchanged. The country continues to depend on agriculture with tobacco, tea and sugar being major commodities produced and exported. The contributions of trade (imports and exports) and industrial sector to GDP have stagnated at around 45% and 20%, respectively, with the manufacturing sector accounting for 11% of GDP. A further examination of the country’s Index of Industry Production shows that, overall, the industrial sector has indeed stagnated. The World Bank (2006) identified high cost of doing business as among the major causes of the poor performance of the private sector. Therefore, Government needs to step up its effort to improve the business climate by undertaking further reforms of its policy and regulatory system and by improving power and utility supply.', 'Lawrence Mapemba (2009), TRADE AND INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE IN MALAWI: OPPORTUNITIES AND POLICY CHALLENGES.', 'Lawrence Mapemba, TRADE AND INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE IN MALAWI: OPPORTUNITIES AND POLICY CHALLENGES(2009).', 'Lawrence Mapemba (2009), TRADE AND INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE IN MALAWI: OPPORTUNITIES AND POLICY CHALLENGES.', '0001TPS.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 10, 35, 3), (184, 'PUBLIC PROCUREMENT AND DISPOSAL OF PUBLIC ASSETS (PARTICIPATION BY MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES) ORDER, 2020', 'Malawi Government', '2020', 'Government Reports', '', '20541', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'PUBLIC PROCUREMENT AND DISPOSAL OF PUBLIC ASSETS (PARTICIPATION BY MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES) ORDER, 2020\r\nIN EXERCISE of the powers conferred by section 36(2) of the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act, I, ELLIAS HAUSI, Director General of the Public Procurement and Disposal of Assets Authority, in consultation with the Minister of Trade, Minister of Economic Planning and Development and the Minister of Gender, Disability Affairs and Community Development, make the following Order-', 'Malawi Government (2020), PUBLIC PROCUREMENT AND DISPOSAL OF PUBLIC ASSETS (PARTICIPATION BY MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES) ORDER, 2020.', 'Malawi Government, PUBLIC PROCUREMENT AND DISPOSAL OF PUBLIC ASSETS (PARTICIPATION BY MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES) ORDER, 2020(2020).', 'Malawi Government (2020), PUBLIC PROCUREMENT AND DISPOSAL OF PUBLIC ASSETS (PARTICIPATION BY MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES) ORDER, 2020.', '249210ff244e0fd52ba007590fece726_f3494.jpeg', 'Neytech Solutions', 4, 14, 3), (185, 'Cash Transfers and Children’s Education and Labour among Malawi’s Poor', 'Candace Miller and Maxton Tsoka', '2012', 'Journals', '', '92660', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'This article examines the impact on children’s education and labour of monthly\r\ncash grants targeted on ultra-poor households and designed to reduce poverty\r\nand enable families to invest in human development.

Bachan', '2014', 'Journals', '', '14258', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'BACKGROUND—While there is a rich literature on the practice of child fostering in sub-Saharan Africa, little is known about how fostering impacts receiving households, as few studies consider household conditions both before and after fostering. Despite the fact that circumstances surrounding fostering vary, the literature’s key distinction of fostering is often drawn along the simple line of whether or not a household is fostering a child. This paper argues that anticipation of fostering responsibilities, in particular, is a useful dimension to distinguish fostering experiences for receiving households.\r\nOBJECTIVE—This paper examines the relationship between receiving a foster child and subsequent changes in household wealth. Particular emphasis is placed on how these changes are conditioned by differing levels of anticipation of the fostering event.\r\nMETHODS—This study uses data from Tsogolo la Thanzi (TLT), a longitudinal survey in Balaka, Malawi. Using data from 1754 TLT respondents, fixed effects pooled time-series models are estimated to assess whether and how receiving a foster child changes household wealth.\r\nRESULTS—This paper demonstrates the heterogeneity of fostering experiences for receiving households. The results show that households that anticipate fostering responsibilities experience a greater increase in household wealth than both households that do not foster and those that are surprised by fostering.\r\nCONCLUSION—Households that anticipate fostering responsibilities exhibit the greatest increase in household wealth. While fostering households that do not anticipate fostering responsibilities may not experience these gains, there is no evidence to indicate that such households are negatively impacted relative to households that do not foster. This finding suggests that additional childcare responsibilities may not be as detrimental to African households as some researchers have feared.', 'Lauren K.

The quality of life enjoyed by the citizenry is directly related to the\r\nlevel of enjoyment of social and economic rights in any particular country. However, the\r\nenjoyment of social and economic rights is, in turn, largely predicated on the manner in\r\nwhich national resources are managed and directed towards obligations raised by social\r\nand economic rights. It is axiomatic, therefore, to devise a framework that ensures that\r\nmanagers of public resources operate within an environment where their actions in\r\nrelation to the management of national resources are governed by transparency and\r\naccountability.\r\nIn the light of the above, this study explores the relationship that exists between the\r\nsocial trust concept and leadership roles particularly in as far as duty bearer\r\naccountability for social and economic rights is concerned. The study argues that social\r\ntrust based devices can be used to enhance duty bearer accountability in relation to\r\nsocial and economic rights and that such increased duty bearer accountability will\r\nautomatically serve to better the welfare of the citizenry. The viability of recognising and\r\nenforcing social trust based accountability mechanisms is highlighted by exploring its\r\nrelevance to Malawi and Uganda. The crux of the study is that public functionaries must\r\nalways be amenable to censure by the citizenry if diligence is to be infused in the\r\nperformance of their duties and the social trust concept offers adept mechanisms for\r\nachieving this.', 'Mwiza Jo Nkhata Jr. (2005), THE SOCIAL TRUST AND LEADERSHIP ROLES: REVITALISING DUTY BEARER ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE PROTECTION OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC RIGHTS IN MALAWI AND UGANDA.', 'Mwiza Jo Nkhata Jr., THE SOCIAL TRUST AND LEADERSHIP ROLES: REVITALISING DUTY BEARER ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE PROTECTION OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC RIGHTS IN MALAWI AND UGANDA(2005).', 'Mwiza Jo Nkhata Jr. (2005), THE SOCIAL TRUST AND LEADERSHIP ROLES: REVITALISING DUTY BEARER ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE PROTECTION OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC RIGHTS IN MALAWI AND UGANDA.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 13, 32, 3), (194, 'MEASURING THE VALUE OF AFRICAN SMALLHOLDER GRAIN PROTECTION: TWO ESSAYS ON STORAGE ECONOMICS AND MARKET VALUATION OF MAIZE ATTRIBUTES IN MALAWI', 'ichael S.

We first present a simple\r\nmethodology, targeted to a non-economist storage research audience, to measure the\r\nprofitability of storage protection for marketing producers in developing countries. We\r\nexamine the relationship between the value of a stored commodity and required price\r\nseasonality for profitable storage under a range of possible fixed costs of storage and\r\nopportunity costs of capital. The cost of storage protection has a larger relative effect on\r\nprofitability with low-value commodities such as maize, while the opportunity cost of\r\ncapital has a larger effect on profitability with high-value commodities such as beans and\r\ncowpeas. An example is drawn with maize in Malawi, contrasting the profitability of\r\nstorage protection with hermetic PICS bags versus government-subsidized chemical\r\nprotectants. Results show that while PICS bags economically outperform chemical\r\nprotectants, price seasonality and thus profitability varies greatly both by year and region of the country.\r\nWe secondly seek to analyze current storage practices and investment in Malawi,\r\nwhile also understanding the economic consequences of insect and mold damage for a\r\nmarketing producer. For marketing maize producers in Africa, economic losses in\r\nstorage can result from both dry weight losses and price discounts for damaged grain.\r\nWhile weight loss ranges under various storage treatments are widely recorded in East\r\nand Southern Africa, price discounts for insect and mold damage are undocumented in\r\ninformal markets. We use a choice model with physical samples of maize to estimate\r\npreferences of Malawian maize traders in the immediate post-harvest season of relative\r\nmaize abundance and then repeat the experiment in the lean season of relative maize\r\nscarcity. Severe discounting for insect damage is present for most traders. In the lean\r\nseason, this discounting logically increases in magnitude as traders store longer before\r\nresale. However, discounts measured by traditional metrics may be exaggerated in\r\nintensity, as demonstrated by the Equality Constrained Latent Class (ECLC) method for\r\nidentifying and correcting for attribute non-attendance bias. Price non-attendance was\r\nidentified in a majority of the sample population and correcting coefficients results in\r\nreductions of WTP estimates by about 75%. To supplement CE analysis, we crossreference\r\nthese methods with a more simple contingent valuation approach. All methods\r\nemployed indicate price discounts for insect grain damage are much more severe than\r\nresearchers have found in West Africa, indicating the value of maize storage protection in\r\nMalawi may be greater than first determined through meta-analysis.

Varied the definitions may be, social protection aims at income redistribution in order to protect everyone against poverty.\r\nIt is well documented that social protection systems were established to replace the traditional family or neighbourhood solidarity which were greatly undermined by industrialisation, rural emigration and ur-ban development. Without social protection, poor people are prone to increased risks of sinking below the poverty line; worse still, to remain stuck in poverty. Above all, Social protection is also a human right as defined by Article 22 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: ‘everyone has a right to social se-curity and is entitled to realisation through national effort and international cooperation’ (UN, n.d). Though it is a human right, coverage of social protection, especially for those in the informal sector is very limited in many developing countries including Malawi.

Much of the countryside has a reputation for being ‘deep rural’ in the sense that it is\r\ncharacterized by a patchy road network and poor physical, economic and social infrastructure within a\r\nculturally conservative context of village-based traditional tribal leadership.

Certainly, the deteriorating welfare\r\nstatus of the Malawian rural population amidst the rising prevalence of HIV/AIDS prior to the famine\r\ncan be amply demonstrated (e.g. Ngwira, Bota and Loevinsohn 2001, Frankenberger, Luther, Fox and\r\nMazzeo 2003).

Input subsidies stimulate yield growth\r\nin agriculture, and can improve the food security of food-deficit small farmers both directly and\r\nindirectly. Social cash transfers directly support the immediate consumption needs of\r\npopulations at risk of missing minimum food entitlements. The two policies interact both as\r\nlivelihood complements and as competitors for fiscal space. Research to date has provided little\r\ncomparative evidence on such interactions and their effects. The thesis objective is to gain a\r\ndeeper understanding than hitherto available of these policy options, which in Malawi are\r\ncharacterised by confusion concerning their roles in achieving a sustainable reduction in\r\nvulnerability and deprivation.\r\nIn Malawi both policies were introduced in 2005/06, following five years of recurrent national\r\nfood crises. The input subsidy programme (ISP) is a national programme targeting over 50 per\r\ncent of Malawi’s 3.2 million farm families every year. Social cash transfers, in contrast, are\r\npilot schemes in seven of the 28 districts, and aim to cover the 10 per cent of households\r\nidentified as ultra poor and labour constrained. The research involved the use of secondary data\r\nsources combined with a fieldwork in Mchinji district, which was the first pilot site for social\r\ncash transfers in 2006.\r\nThe research demonstrates the difficulty in Malawi of constructing a policy environment that\r\ncan enduringly reduce the proneness of the rural population to hunger and deprivation. The ISP\r\nappears to have more than doubled maize output according to official figures but caution is\r\nindicated regarding the true magnitude of output gains realised. For social cash transfers,\r\nevidence suggests positive food security and livelihood impacts but important caveats are\r\nidentified. Overall, the thesis contributes to the growing awareness that one strategy on its own\r\ncannot be relied upon to achieve sustainable vulnerability reduction; a portfolio of instruments\r\nthat address differing needs is advised, while carefully considering complementarities and tradeoffs\r\nbetween them.', 'Dyton Duncan Maliro (2011), Comparison of Agricultural Input Subsidies and Social Cash Transfers as Policies for Reducing Vulnerability to Hunger in Malawi.', 'Dyton Duncan Maliro, Comparison of Agricultural Input Subsidies and Social Cash Transfers as Policies for Reducing Vulnerability to Hunger in Malawi(2011).', 'Dyton Duncan Maliro (2011), Comparison of Agricultural Input Subsidies and Social Cash Transfers as Policies for Reducing Vulnerability to Hunger in Malawi.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 15, 34, 3), (203, 'ANALYSIS OF THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF AGRICULTURAL POLICIES IN MALAWI: A CASE STUDY OF MAIZE POLICIES', 'HORACE HAPPY PHIRI', '2013', 'Dissertations', '', '39237', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Producer Support Estimate (PSE) for the staple food crop maize were calculated in this\r\nstudy to add to knowledge on the incentives and disincentives that created by public\r\npolicy in agriculture.

This is inspired by the fact that the success of the 2005/2006 fertilizer subsidy programme is widely orchestrated as the most significant policy achievement of the government since the advent of a democratic political dispensation over a decade ago, especially in view of the fact that the programme was implemented against the advice of a whole gamut of technical experts and development partners. The huge paradox, however, is that the experience with the democratic political dispensation on the development front has been generally disappointing. Instead of facilitating tremendous transformation from conditions of abject poverty to prosperity, the state has found itself presiding over a period of rampant economic decay and the progressive weakening of the state machinery to spearhead development relative to the authoritarian one-party era.

Satellite images were used to find affected land use and households prior to the\r\nlandslide. Further, secondary data were obtained to assess the recovery cost.

The extent of destroyed land that was obtained from\r\nthe satellite images and the age of the KHG were used to develop a multiple regression model to estimate the\r\neconomic loss of the KHG. It was found that the landslide affected region had been generating approximately US$\r\n160,000 annually from their home gardens toward the GDP of the country.

Because of these circumstances, the government must provide US $ 40,369 to recover the fully and\r\npartially damaged households.

The new wave takes place amidst the re–\r\nconceptualization of ‘development’ in development discourse through a supposedly\r\ndecentred focus on economic growth. The new donor consensus is that land reform\r\nmust be more human–centred and foster pro–poor economic growth. It is in this\r\nenvironment that Malawi adopted the National Land Policy in 2002. The Policy is\r\nmeant to guide the country’s land reform and contribute to sustained economic\r\ngrowth.\r\nThe new wave is problematic since it perpetuates land reform approaches of\r\nthe law and development movement whereby land reform becomes land law reform.\r\nThe ‘customary’ space is subjected to a process of formalization and privatization of\r\nthe right to property in land ostensibly to boost economic growth.

In many developing countries, though, cash transfers are insignificant compared to other transfer mechanisms in terms of their claim on public resources. For example, in Malawi, fertilizer subsidies dwarf cash transfers, while next door in Zambia, the government pays farmers prices well above market levels for their maize (Nkonde, Mason, Sitko, & Jayne, 2011). Yet no study to our knowledge has attempted to compare the full impact of cash payments and other kinds of transfers on rural incomes and welfare in low income countries.\r\nEconomic theory is unclear on the effectiveness of alternative transfer schemes in a context of imperfect markets; thus, empirical impact analysis is required to analyze, select and design income-transfer mechanisms. It is not clear how to design a feasible randomized experiment or econometric model to compare the efficiency of a variety of alternative transfer schemes with both direct and indirect impacts on a heterogeneous rural population.\r\nThis paper employs a simulation model of heterogeneous, interacting agents to compare the impacts of direct payments and alternative transfer mechanisms on production, incomes and welfare in rural Malawi and Ghana. We calibrate our simulations to existing fertilizer subsidy schemes in the two countries: the Malawi Agricultural Inputs Subsidy Program (MAISP) and Ghana‘s temporary input subsidy program (IS), initiated in 2008 and continued every year since. In each country, we then compare the input subsidy to two other transfer schemes: a market price support for staples, similar to what historically has been implemented in both countries, and cash transfers (the Malawi Social Cash Transfer Scheme, SCTS, and Ghana‘s Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty, LEAP).\r\nThe widespread view that cash transfers are the most efficient transfer instruments, and that input subsidies are inefficient, has drawn considerable attention to the MAISP in recent years. We begin by focusing on Malawi in an attempt to answer the following questions: Are there conditions under which alternative transfer mechanisms might dominate a simple cash transfer in terms of welfare efficiency or in terms of effectiveness at raising the incomes of particular rural household groups?

Most smallholders cultivate less than\r\none hectare. Poverty is deep and widespread across the land. As a result of their weak asset base,\r\nlow technology adoption, limited land and labour constraints, the majority of rural households\r\nare highly vulnerable to shocks, whether generalized (such as drought) or household-specific\r\n(such as death).

In relation to agrarian reform, neo–liberal land reform models laud individual title as a catalyst for economic growth. Customary land tenure has been adjudged anathema to development as it is supposedly economically inefficient. The economy efficiency argument is not new. In Malawi, colonial and post–colonial land law and policy has favoured individual title in pursuit of a ‘capitalist’ economy. In 2002, Malawi adopted a National Land Policy. Despite the claims of a fair redistribution of land to the ‘poor’, the policy adopts a neo–liberal approach to customary land tenure reform, inter alia, to promote a formal land market. The implications of the neo–liberal framework for the ‘poor’ is that it will benefit the ‘non–poor’; it leads to the integration of customary land into the global economy; it perpetuates landlessness on the part of the ‘poor’ who might not withstand the vagaries of a formal land market. In this vein, the neo–liberal approach to customary land tenure reform under the policy will undermine development. I suggest that an effective initiative to empower the ‘poor’ would be the creation of a trust over all land in a traditional land management area with a traditional authority as the public trustee of his or her community. The trust must be created under statute and may retain the elements of customary land law. Macroeconomic strategies may be developed that promote microfinance initiatives that would complement customary land tenure.\r\nKeywords\r\nLand Reform, Customary Land Tenure Reform, Development, Malawi', 'Chikosa Mozesi Silungwe (2009), Customary Land Tenure Reform and Development: A Critique of Customary Land Tenure Reform under Malawi’s National Land Policy.', 'Chikosa Mozesi Silungwe, Customary Land Tenure Reform and Development: A Critique of Customary Land Tenure Reform under Malawi’s National Land Policy(2009).', 'Chikosa Mozesi Silungwe (2009), Customary Land Tenure Reform and Development: A Critique of Customary Land Tenure Reform under Malawi’s National Land Policy.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 0, 0, 3), (230, 'Designing Weather Insurance Contracts for Farmers in Malawi , Tanzania and Kenya', 'Daniel Osgood, Megan McLaurin, Miguel Carriquiry, Ashok Mishra, Francesco Fiondella, James Hansen, Nicole Peterson and Neil Ward', '2007', 'Corporate Reports', '', '47984', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'This report presents project products to the Commodity Risk Management Group of the World\r\nBank for the development and evaluation of index insurance contracts for smallholder farmers\r\nin Malawi, Tanzania, and Kenya. The development of some products we are providing was supported\r\nat no cost by the NSF-funded Center for Research on Environmental Decisions.\r\nIndex insurance is a relatively new weather risk management tool. While traditional insurance insures\r\nagainst crop failure, index insurance insures for a specific event or risk, such as rainfall deficits. The\r\nindex insurance can be more cost effective since there is no need for in-field assessment of damage\r\nbecause payouts are triggered by weather data directly. Index insurance addresses two problems associated\r\nwith traditional crop insurance: moral hazard (incentives for a farmer to let a crop die in order to\r\nget an insurance payout) and adverse selection (in which insurance is priced based on the risks of the\r\nentire population but only the most vulnerable farmers purchase insurance).\r\nHowever, index insurance only provides partial protection and is therefore only one part of a complete\r\nrisk management package. It is critical that the client have a comprehensive understanding of exactly\r\nwhat risks are covered (and what risks are not covered) by the index product so that clients can effectively\r\nuse the insurance as a part of their risk management system. Products must be transparent and\r\ncompletely understandable to the client or they will not be able to play their proper role.\r\nWe designed and evaluated contracts for Malawi, Kenya and Tanzania. Because some contracts existed\r\nfor Malawi prior to this project, and since the insurance is in its second year of implementation in\r\nMalawi, the Malawi initial contracts and implementation are used as a starting point. Following the\r\nproject specification, we have developed in depth analysis, such as process based crop simulations and\r\nquantitative analysis of historical data, for the Malawi case study. These additional analyses are unique\r\nto the Malawi case.\r\nIn general, the contract development and evaluation process has led to a set of contracts that appear\r\nto perform extremely well. So much so, that demand in many places has overwhelmed administrative\r\ncapacity to serve clients. As this is an unsubsidized product that is purchased by clients, some indication\r\nof its value can be seen in its market demand.

Those children are being taught social and financial\r\nentrepreneurship—and are demonstrating how they can be agents of social\r\nchange within their communities.\r\nFrom 2010 to 2012, Catholic Relief Services collaborated with diocesan\r\npartners and Netherlands-based Aflatoun, Child Savings International, in\r\nan effort to strengthen the child protection functions of Malawi’s Children’s\r\nCorners initiative, a community-based education and support program\r\nfor vulnerable children 6 to 18 years old. The program uses a curriculum\r\nthat builds children’s self-confidence, teaches them their rights and\r\nresponsibilities as well as practical skills in saving, spending, planning and\r\nbudgeting.

The adverse effects are felt most by the poor and the marginalized population. The effects include loss of\r\nhousehold assets, disruption of livelihoods, and loss of income, and may lead to the poor adopting negative coping\r\nstrategies, including selling their productive assets, reducing their consumption levels, and making harmful investment\r\nchoices regarding education, health, and livelihoods, all of which may impact their long-term well-being. The effects\r\nmay also result in the near-poor sliding back into poverty due to impacts of hazard-related shocks and stresses, and\r\nthe increase in the number of transitory poor due to increase in intensity and frequency of hazards.\r\nThe poor and vulnerable population are typically the recipients of social protection programs which are designed\r\nto reduce overall vulnerability. Social protection is defined as the set of policies and programs designed to reduce\r\npoverty and vulnerability by promoting efficient labor markets, diminishing people’s exposure to risks, and enhancing\r\ntheir capacity to protect themselves against hazards and interruption or loss of income.1 However, increase in risks\r\nfrom climate change and disasters will imply that the assets, livelihoods, and well-being of the poor will become more\r\nvulnerable. This will require solutions to reduce the current and future vulnerabilities of the poor and marginalized in\r\nthe context of climate change and disasters, strengthen their adaptive capacity, and enhance residual risk management\r\nto support them to recover from hazard-related shocks. The solutions may include a range of measures—providing\r\nconsumption support during lean periods, developing a culture of savings to encourage investments in risk reduction\r\nmeasures, supporting livelihood diversification to adapt to longer-term changes in climate variables, and providing\r\ninsurance products to manage residual risk. These measures are closely related to measures often supported by social\r\nprotection programs.

This resulted in 6.5m people being assessed in May 2016 as requiring food assistance by\r\nthe Government of Malawi with the support of UN agencies and NGOs.3 However, a pay-out from the\r\ndrought insurance policy was not automatically triggered, as the model used by ARC calculated that\r\nonly 20,594 people had been affected by the drought.\r\nThis report tells the story of Malawi’s experience of the drought and its ARC insurance policy, based\r\non focus group discussions and interviews with a wide range of Malawians, from rural communities\r\nto government officials and other stakeholders, as well as the ARC Secretariat, caught up in the\r\ndrought that need not have become a disaster. The government officials we spoke to were senior\r\nofficials with responsibility for providing advice and information to inform decisions made with respect\r\nto ARC insurance and associated policies from within the Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning and\r\nDevelopment, the Department of Disaster Management Affairs, the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation\r\nand Water Development, and the Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services. We\r\nalso spoke to key local government officials in Rumphi and Mchinji districts, experts from the National\r\nSmallholder Farmers’ Association of Malawi (NASFAM) and the Lilongwe University of Agriculture\r\nand Natural Resources, and staff from ActionAid’s Local Rights Programmes and their local partners\r\nin Chiradzulu, Machinga, Nsanje, and Rumphi. Focus group discussions incorporating participatory\r\nresearch methodologies were held with rural communities in Nsanje and Rumphi. These sought to\r\nunderstand the perspectives of the communities – and in particular the women – on climate and disaster\r\nrisks, their decision-making regarding agriculture and livelihoods, and the steps they had taken to build\r\nresilience to droughts, climate change and other disaster risks; on support provided to them by the\r\ngovernment, NGOs and other development actors regarding agriculture, climate change adaptation,\r\ndisaster risk reduction (DRR) and social protection; and on the impacts of the recent drought and other\r\ndisasters. (The communities were asked about their experience with, and views about, various forms\r\nof insurance, but not specifically about ARC, since they knew nothing about it.) Our interviews and\r\ndiscussions took place in the time between the initial ARC decision not to make a pay-out and the\r\nrevised decision in November 2016 to pay Malawi $8m: ARC and the Government of Malawi officials\r\nthen had the opportunity to provide feedback on the draft report, which was taken into account in its\r\nsubsequent revision, as were developments after the eventual ARC payment.

Payments are made immediately, with one day delay, or with eight days delay. Defaulting the payments into savings accounts leads to higher net deposits into bank accounts, an effect that persists for a number of weeks afterwards. However, neither savings defaults nor payment delays affect the amount or composition of spending, suggesting that households manage cash effectively without the use of formal financial products.\r\n∗The authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Yale Savings and Payments Research Fund at Innovations for Poverty Action, sponsored by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Poverty reduction is the result of several interacting factors, including importantly: redistribution of incomes, assets, and opportunities; pro-poor economic growth; and social provision and protection. This issue of IPC’s journal Poverty in Focus highlights the importance of social protection in the struggle against global poverty. Inequality reduction and pro-poor growth will be the theme of the next issue.\r\nSocial protection aims to enhance the capacity of poor and vulnerable persons to manage economic and social risks, such as unemployment, exclusion, sickness, disability and old age. Policy interventions can improve their well-being by, among other things, moderating the impact of shocks causing sharp reductions in their income or consumption. Social protection and provision can also enhance the productive capabilities of poor men and women, reducing poverty and inequality and stimulating pro-poor growth.\r\nLike other policy areas, social policies involve choices and priorities, for example between mere social safety nets and promotion of sustainable livelihoods, short term alleviation and long-term elimination of poverty, universal and targeted programmes, conditional and unconditional schemes, food and cash transfers, etc. Criteria must be set for selecting which households, and who within them, should receive the benefits. If schemes are conditional, then on what: participation in education, health, nutrition and/or work programmes? Is such participation by the poor and needy in fact constrained by demand or supply factors? Can institutional and management capacity cope effectively?\r\nThese are some of the issues policy planners need to consider, and this Poverty in Focus journal covers many of them. The first article discusses the basic social policy choice of targeting vs. universalism, i.e. whether social benefits are a basic right for all citizens or only for the truly needy and deserving. Policy regimes are usually somewhere between these two extremes, but where they lie on this continuum can be decisive in spelling out individuals’ life chances and in characterizing the social order.\r\nThen, a broad view of social protection for the poorest is presented, which envisages social protection as having both short- and long-term roles in poverty reduction; several illustrative project and programme examples are presented and then highlighted in text boxes throughout the journal in their regional context.\r\nIn South Africa, a proposal for a universal income grant has engendered an intense debate. The implications of such a scheme are analysed in the following article, including both poverty reduction outcomes and the macro-economic feasibility. This is followed by an article summarising an IPC study of conditional cash transfers in 15 African low-income countries, and a presentation of an unconditional cash transfer pilot scheme in Zambia.\r\nThe next region in this journal is Asia, where two new Indian laws guarantee employment for all poor households as well as the right to public information for full transparency; furher, a pilot programme targeting the ultra-poor in Bangladesh shows promising results.\r\nThen, the journal highlights the current trend in Latin America towards targeted and conditional cash transfers. Although homegrown and originated with domestic funding, these programmes have received enthusiastic and substantial support from the international community, and they are being promoted elsewhere. What are the challenges and lessons from this region and are they transferable? Another domestic model is provided by the targeted and comprehensive Chile Solidario programme.\r\nFinally, there is a bilateral donor representative’s view of the role of social protection with cash transfers in promoting pro-poor growth and poverty reduction; also how donors are working together with developing country partners for providing more effective support towards this end.\r\nWe hope you will find this issue of Poverty in Focus useful and stimulating', 'Dag Ehrenpreis (2006), Social protection the role of cash transfers.', 'Dag Ehrenpreis, Social protection the role of cash transfers(2006).', 'Dag Ehrenpreis (2006), Social protection the role of cash transfers.', '01 social protection.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 13, 32, 3), (241, 'Discussion Paper Malawi Case Study: Social Protection Measures and Labour Markets November 2012 Innovative Financing for Development: A New Model for', '', '2012', 'Corporate Reports', '', '19419', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Discussion Paper Malawi Case Study: Social Protection Measures and Labour Markets\r\nNovember 2012 \r\n \r\n Malawi is a Least Developed Country (LDC) with a predominantly rural population engaged in agriculture. The agricultural economy is dominated by small-scale farms (tended by people known as ‘smallholders’) that produce commodity crops (mainly tobacco, coffee and cotton) and food for subsistence (maize, pulses, roots and tubers). Most smallholders cultivate less than one hectare. Poverty is deep and widespread across the land. As a result of their weak asset base, low technology adoption, limited land and labour constraints, the majority of rural households are highly vulnerable to shocks, whether generalized (such as drought) or household-specific (such as death). This weak resilience has hindered the ability of smallholders to move out of poverty and of the country to develop rapidly. Despite these structural impediments, there is now quantifiable evidence that measures intended to reduce smallholder vulnerability have begun to pay off, resulting in a decline in relative and absolute poverty. The benefit seemingly extends to all strata of the Malawian poor, urban and rural. Strengthening small farms has contributed towards rapid economic growth within the agricultural sector and broader economy, whilst, at the household level, it has led to improved food security as well as asset accumulation (cash, livestock and durable goods).\r\nThis paper describes and analyses the impact that pro-poor programmes and social protection (SP) measures in particular have had on reducing poverty and mitigating the vulnerability of the Malawian poor. Social protection here refers to the broad range of measures designed and implemented by the state and its partners in development to reduce poverty and strengthen the resilience of the population to shocks. The case focuses on the agricultural sector and its labour market dynamics. Over the past 15 years, a range of SP measures has been instituted; the measures that have been most extensive in scale and scope, whilst having the greatest impact on poverty, are those that have sought to enhance the productivity of small-scale agriculture through input subsidies. The paper also examines the impact of these programmes and considers their potential to reduce poverty through providing decent work within the agricultural sector and through the role of agriculture as an engine of economic growth.

The United Nations define social protection as a set of public and private policies and programmes undertaken by societies in response to various contingencies to offset the absence or substantial reduction of income from work; to provide assi stance for families with children as well as provide people with health care and housing (UN , 2001). On the other hand, van Ginneken (2003) sees it as benefits that society provides to individuals and households; through public and collective measures; to guarantee them a minimum standard of living and to protect them against a low or declining living standards arising out of a number of basic needs. Varied the definitions may be, social protection aims at income redistribution in order to protect everyone against poverty. It is well documented that social protection systems were established to replace the traditional family or neighbourhood solidarity which were greatly undermined by industrialisation, rural emigration and urban development. Without social protection, poor people are prone to increased risks of sinking below the poverty line; worse still, to remain stuck in poverty. Above all, Social protection is also a human right as defined by Article 22 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: ‘everyone has a right to social s ecurity and is entitled to realisation through national effort and international cooperation’ (UN, n.d). Though it is a human right, coverage of social protection, especially for those in the informal sector is very limited in many developing countries including Malawi.

However, its effects in the long-term have been questioned. This paper presents a study of a cash transfer program in Malawi and its 5- year follow-up. The study is constructed on the assumption that cash transfers serve as a technical fix for a much structural and complex problem that is caused by much more than economic poverty. It defends that once the intervention ends so does the results, since as no rooted transformation took course, people return to their own costumes and reality.

These are the proceedings of the end-of-project workshop held at Matopos, Zimbabwe, during 5-6 Dec 2002. The proceedings review the status of seed policy reform in West Africa, East Africa and Southern Africa; discuss lessons learned through an analysis of the reform process; and identify and prioritize follow-up activities. An economic model is also presented, as a framework for analyzing the costs and benefits associated with various reforms, for example regional registration of new varieties, harmonization of phytosanitary laws; and appropriate strategies for national and regional plant breeding programs. The reform and harmonization process is relatively advanced in East Africa, and could provide a model for other regions. But key issues still remain to be addressed. In East Africa, technical agreements established during earlier discussions need to be implemented, and the reform process extended beyond the three countries currently involved.

The findings of the paper show that there exist several human, physical, and institutional capacity gaps for designing and implementing agricultural policies in Nigeria. The main gaps are a limited understanding of the relationships between institutional, human, and physical resources and the impact of policy on end-users at every level in the process of designing, implementing, and monitoring policies; limited linkages between universities, research institutions, and policymakers; and the lack of coordinated activities among the various organizations involved in knowledge management. This paper provides suggestions for effectively addressing the main gaps.. First, strengthening agriculture and rural development policymaking institutions through education, knowledge, and communications remains important for improving the quality and timeliness of policy-relevant research. Second, it is important to develop staff capacities with respect to policy research, analysis, implementation, and monitoring. Finally, a minimum set of indicators needs to be monitored regularly by concerned Nigerian ministries for an effective capacity strengthening strategy in order to achieve the short-term, medium-term and longterm targets for an evidence-based, pro-poor, gender sensitive, and environmentally sustainable agriculture.

The country has experienced 15 drought episodes between 1965 and 2015, some of which resulted in substantial humanitarian crises. For example, the 1984-85 drought, which resulted in the worst famine in the country’s history, took some 300,000 lives. During the period 1991-2008, Ethiopia lost a cumulative amount in the range of 13-40 percent of its current level of agricultural output due to climate change (Aragie, 2013). Furthermore, in 2015-2016 the country experienced one of worst El Niño-induced droughts in decades, with below-average rainfall leading to 50–90% harvest failure affecting more than 10.2 million people (on top of the 7.9 million people already covered under PSNP).1 Ethiopia’s drought history further indicates that vulnerability to drought is highest in the pastoral areas in the lowlands and in the densely populated, food-insecure areas in the highlands. Within the arid and semi-arid areas of the country, the regions of Afar, Somali, Tigray and low lands of Oromia, are among the most vulnerable to climate shocks, given low levels of service provision and infrastructure development, and the frequency of droughts and floods (Deressa et al., 2008).\r\nMost of the global climate models project an increase in precipitation in both the dry and wet seasons in Ethiopia. On the other hand, studies with more detailed regional climate models indicate that the direction of the expected precipitation change is uncertain. The temperature is likely to continue to increase for the next few decades with the rate of change as observed. The impacts of the ongoing and projected climate change and variability are widespread in both socio-economic and natural systems. It is predicted that changes in climate will lead to recurrent droughts and heavy rainfall in different parts of Ethiopia, reducing the amount of land that can be used for agriculture and decreasing crop productivity. The economic impact of climate change depends on the extent of annual weather variability and extremes, but recent major droughts have reduced GDP by 1% - 4%. Future climate change could reduce Ethiopia’s GDP by 8-10% in 2050 (Irish Aid, 2018) The government’s Climate Resilience Strategy for Agriculture and Forestry indicates that under some extreme scenarios the impact of climate change on all sectors could reduce GDP by 10% or more by 2050 (FDRE, 2015). The potential decrease in GDP due to climate change could impact Ethiopia’s ambition to reach middle-income status by 2025 and is likely to slow down poverty reduction. Mideksa (2009) also found that climate change will make the prospect of economic development in Ethiopia harder by reducing agricultural production and output in the sectors linked to agriculte, which is likely to reduce Ethiopia’s GDP by about 10% from its benchmark level; and by raising the degree of income inequality in which the Gini-coefficient increases by 20%, which is likely to further decrease economic growth and fuel poverty.', 'Mekonnen Bekele Mintewab Bezabih Hailu Elias Peter Fisker Tagel Gebrehiwot Tadesse Kuma Tseday Mekasha Alemu Mekonnen Finn Tarp Hailemaraim Teklewold (2020), Building Resilience to Climate Change in Ethiopia What do we know so far?.', 'Mekonnen Bekele Mintewab Bezabih Hailu Elias Peter Fisker Tagel Gebrehiwot Tadesse Kuma Tseday Mekasha Alemu Mekonnen Finn Tarp Hailemaraim Teklewold, Building Resilience to Climate Change in Ethiopia What do we know so far?(2020).', 'Mekonnen Bekele Mintewab Bezabih Hailu Elias Peter Fisker Tagel Gebrehiwot Tadesse Kuma Tseday Mekasha Alemu Mekonnen Finn Tarp Hailemaraim Teklewold (2020), Building Resilience to Climate Change in Ethiopia What do we know so far?.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 13, 29, 3), (263, 'A Decision-Making Model for Community-Based Food Industry to Support Poverty Alleviation in East Indonesia: Case Study of East Sumba Regency', 'Ratih Dyah Kusumastutia Fanny Martdianty Rifelly Dewi Astuti Nurmala', '2016', 'Journals', '', '40818', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Provinces in the eastern part of Indonesia still have the high percentage of residents living\r\nbelow the poverty line.

Drought tolerant maize is a promising technology that has the capacity to help smallholder farmers adapt to drought risks. Using 2009, 2012 and 2015 data from six districts, results show adoption has increased from 46% in 2009 to 59% in 2015. The likelihood of adoption is significantly increased by drought with early droughts having greater impact (31%) than late droughts (20%). Early droughts are also associated with an increased acreage of land allocated to drought tolerant maize and quantity of seed planted. However lagged drought variables appear to negatively affect adoption. The possible explanation is that the years preceding the surveys were associated with good rains such that farmers responded by buying less of drought tolerant maize anticipating similar rainfall pattern. Another important driver of adoption is the farm input subsidy programme. However, while access to subsidised seed increases both adoption and intensity of adoption, previous year’s access has a negative impact. This suggests that the increased adoption is due to availability of cheap seed as opposed to farmers’ previous exposure to the varieties. This may indicate limited awareness on the benefits of drought tolerant maize varieties. This is also consistent with extension visits positively affecting adoption. Good extension messages and promotion of drought tolerant maize varieties should be improved to allow farmers make informed decisions.\r\nKey words: Drought tolerant maize, drought exposure, farm input subsidy programme, correlated random effects, Malawi', 'Samson P.

The findings of the study show that the six countries do not exhibit significant country-specific effects, and the existence of Dutch disease is confirmed. The negative relationship between oil and manufacturing sector growth, which might be regarded as a symptom of the presence of Dutch disease, is significant in the panel dynamic model while it is not in the static model. The study also reveals that there is a dearth of capital formation in the six countries’ manufacturing sectors. It is further shown that the more capital-intensive the manufacturing sector is, the less the negative effect of the oil sector’s dominance.

The study further demonstrates that monetary authorities have very limited control over industrial output growth using instruments of monetary policy.

There are clinical guidelines on best approaches but limitations persist when applying them in diverse\r\nlow-income settings. In such settings, infant-feeding practices are not only dependent on individual women’s\r\nchoices but are also subject to social and cultural pressures. However, when developing infant-feeding policies little\r\nattention has been paid to these pressures, even though they may yield useful empirical knowledge on the various\r\nforces that shape the infant-feeding dilemmas confronting women with HIV. This study aimed to a) identify the\r\ninfant-feeding challenges that women with HIV faced when they were advised to wean their children at an early\r\nage of six months and b) explore how the women adhered to their infant-feeding options while facing and\r\nmanaging these challenges.\r\nMethods: This study was conducted between February 2008 and April 2009 at two public health facilities where\r\nservices to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV were implemented. Repeated in-depth interviews were\r\nconducted with 20 HIV-positive women. Two of the 20 women were also chosen for case studies which included\r\nhome visits.\r\nResults: Several interdependent factors including the conflicting pressures of sexual morality and the demands\r\nof nurturing and motherhood, in conditions of abject poverty, impeded the participating women from following\r\nmedical advice on infant feeding. If they adhered to the medical advice, the women would encounter difficulty\r\nmaintaining their ascribed roles as respected wives, mothers and members of the society at large. The necessity of\r\nupholding their moral standing through continued breastfeeding, which signified HIV-negative status, put pressure\r\non them to ignore the medical advice.\r\nConclusions: The infant-feeding dilemmas for women with HIV are complex. The integration of public health\r\nefforts with context-specific socio-cultural understanding is essential. The recent 2010 WHO guidelines offer a\r\npossible way of resolving these challenges. They recommend breastfeeding for one year with an adaptation to\r\ntwo years for Malawi.

Drawing on a theoretical framework\r\nthat combines approaches from Science and Technology, Postcolonial, and Feminist\r\nScience Studies, this work spans across international, national and local spaces\r\nof knowledge and policy production, revealing the material and often unintended\r\nconsequences of global scientific constructions of climate change. Fieldwork in\r\nMalawi, including interviews with policymakers in Lilongwe and climate-affected\r\ncommunities in Kasache, has revealed tensions at various stages and scales, examined\r\nhere through a multi-sited ethnographic approach that situates local weather and\r\nclimate practices in the lineage of colonial and postcolonial narratives and relations.\r\nThe findings indicate that the discourse on climate change is a mobile, power-laden\r\nand socio-cultural practice transversally connecting spatial (international, national,\r\nlocal), historical (colonialism, neoliberalism) and epistemological (élite/subaltern,\r\ngender) localities. The exclusion of locally produced knowledge and meanings (by\r\ndecision makers, farmers, women and elders) from national mainstream adaptation\r\nprogrammes obscures how vulnerability is locally produced, foreclosing opportunities\r\nfor context-relevant decision-making. While formally increasing women’s participation\r\nin local decisional structures, gender and climate change interventions disregard the\r\npresence of biophysical and socio-economic factors, including ‘global’ essentialising\r\nnarratives, which can exacerbate unequal power relations. At the same time, women in\r\nKasache have engaged in collective responses outside international frames of gender\r\nempowerment through informal networks that build on historical matrilineal solidarity\r\nand democratic participatory practices. Several ‘policy recommendations’ on how to\r\ndecolonise and democratise climate adaptation interventions can be drawn from the\r\nfindings of this work.

More specifically, it argues that while street vendors\r\nnegotiate for the use of public spaces within the ‘formal city’ for income generating activities, the\r\nurban poor in informal settlements negotiate for use of spaces in their dwellings for generating\r\ncash income. Spaces for income generating activities are as contested as spaces for vending in the\r\n‘formal city.’ In this context, the urban poor become creative enough to overcome equally\r\ndemanding domestic functions of their dwellings. Furthermore, power imbalance is also\r\nepitomised in home based enterprises where tenants have to negotiate with their landlords for\r\nuse of dwellings for generating income and accumulation of assets. However, it is not only\r\nphysical spaces whose use for income generating activities is negotiable. Rather gender relations\r\nin some households are also negotiated for and contested spaces.

Thus, the accumulation of income and assets\r\nshould not be the only variables used for measuring the success or failure of home based\r\nenterprises because their outcomes are also heavily embedded in informal social security\r\nnetworks.\r\nKeywords: Urban poor, dwellings and income generating activities, negotiate and contested.', 'James Gondwe and Kossi Ayenagbo (2013), Negotiating for livelihoods beyond the formal Mzuzu City, Malawi, by the urban poor: Informal settlements as spaces of income generating activities.', 'James Gondwe and Kossi Ayenagbo, Negotiating for livelihoods beyond the formal Mzuzu City, Malawi, by the urban poor: Informal settlements as spaces of income generating activities(2013).', 'James Gondwe and Kossi Ayenagbo (2013), Negotiating for livelihoods beyond the formal Mzuzu City, Malawi, by the urban poor: Informal settlements as spaces of income generating activities.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 2, 2, 3), (281, 'MONETARY POLICY SHOCKS AND INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT IN BRICS COUNTRIES', 'Adebayo Augustine Kutu and Harold Ngalawa', '2016', 'Journals', '', '77686', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'This study employs a Panel Structural Vector Autoregressive model (????−????????????????) to investigate how monetary policy shocks affect industrial output in BRICS countries using monthly data for the period 1994:1 to 2013:12.

The study finds that variations in the exchange rate have the largest impact on industrial output in the BRICS countries. It is also observed that inflation rates significantly increase industrial output, peaking after about eleven months. This reveals that monetary authorities should be cautious when formulating policies aimed at reducing the rate of inflation because of the spillover effect on industrial output. Further analysis reveals that interest rates have a marginal effect on exchange rates, while money supply makes a relatively large contribution to exchange rate fluctuations. Again, it is observed that changes in money supply exert a very large impact on variations in the rate of inflation. Thus, money supply plays an important role in curbing inflation.

Not only are rural livelihoods affected due to the severe impacts on the agricultural sector, but nonfarm and urban households are also vulnerable given the strong production and price linkages between agriculture and the rest of the economy. This study uses a general equilibrium model to estimate the economywide impacts of drought- and flood-related crop production losses. Climate simulations are based on production loss estimates from stochastic drought and flood models. Model results show that the economic losses due to extreme climate events are significant: Malawi loses 1.7 percent of its gross domestic product on average every year due to the combined effects of droughts and floods. This is equivalent to almost US$22 million in 2005 prices. Given their crop choices, it is smaller-scale farmers and those in the flood-prone southern regions of the country who are worst affected. However, urban and nonfarm households are not spared. Food shortages lead to sharp price increases that reduce urban households’ disposable incomes.

In Africa, and particularly southern Africa, the main constraint to\r\nagricultural productivity is soil nutrient deficiency (Scoones & Toulmin, 1999; Sanchez et al.,\r\n1997). For this reason, agroforestry research in the region has focused on soil fertility\r\nreplenishment (SFR) technologies over the years and the adoption and scaling-up of these\r\npractices is the main thrust of the ongoing on farm research (Akinnifesi et al., 2008;\r\nAkinnifesi et al, 2010).

Thus, this paper proposes a C4D\r\nframework for strengthening extension in Malawi and encourages the Government of Malawi to trial this concept.\r\nKey words: Extension education, pluralistic and demand-driven extension, poverty reduction, sustainable\r\ndevelopment, extension theory and policy, communication for development, world bank', 'Robert Agunga and Levi Zeleza Manda (2014), Communication for Strengthening Agricultural Extension and Rural Development in Malawi.', 'Robert Agunga and Levi Zeleza Manda, Communication for Strengthening Agricultural Extension and Rural Development in Malawi(2014).', 'Robert Agunga and Levi Zeleza Manda (2014), Communication for Strengthening Agricultural Extension and Rural Development in Malawi.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 7, 15, 3), (299, 'RESETTLEMENT AND FOOD SECURITY', 'Valerie Mueller', '2013', 'Government Reports', '', '35700', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'T he average smallholder farmer in Malawi is tasked to feed a family of five on a farm of less than one hectare\r\nin size (NSO, 2008).

In recognition of this, the Malawian\r\ngovernment has since 2005/06 implemented a large-scale Farm Input Subsidy Program (FISP), which supplies half of\r\nsmallholder farmers with sufficient fertilizer and maize seeds to satisfy the maize consumption needs of an average-sized\r\nfamily. While the program boosted maize production and lowered maize prices, thus ensuring increased caloric availability\r\nat the household level, its effect on overall food consumption, dietary diversity, micronutrient deficiency, and child\r\nnutrition is less clear. This study evaluates household expenditure survey data to measure changes in nutrition outcomes\r\nbetween 2004/05 and 2010/11. While the study is not an evaluation of the nutritional impact of FISP per se, it does shed\r\nsome light on the possible nutritional effects of the program. The results are disconcerting. For example, we find evidence\r\nof rising consumption inequality associated with a rise in extreme poverty and a significant increase in income among the\r\nurban non-poor. Although calorie deficiency declined—including among the rural poor, dietary diversity among the rural\r\npoor decreased and mineral and vitamin deficiencies increased nationwide, especially in rural areas.

We consider three potential channels: efficient food markets; reduced post-harvest losses; and access to credit. Firstly, we find that WRS, through its potential to increase demand for storage and facilitate temporal arbitrage, could address high price seasonality driven by high transport margins and thin commodity markets. By lowering price seasonality, WRS would benefit net-consuming households that tend to sell low and buy high. However, since temporal arbitrage transactions are associated with costs and price risks, engaging in them becomes undesirable if prices do not follow predictable seasonal patterns. Prices tend to be less predictable in countries such as Malawi where government market intervention is highly discretionary. This hinders the development of a well-functioning WRS. Secondly, as WRS guarantees the quantity and quality of the commodity stored, such systems could improve food security in Malawi by reducing post-harvest losses. Storage-related maize losses are currently thought to be between 5 and 10 percent in Malawi. The combined benefit of reduced storage losses and higher expected future prices provides an opportunity for smallholder farmers to benefit from temporal arbitrage. The extent of post-harvest losses under home storage and the distance to the WRS storage facility are important determinants of whether home storage is more cost-effective than WRS. Thirdly, the use of WRS-stored commodity as collateral for accessing formal credit could enable households to obtain cash for immediate needs, while better timing their commodity sales and avoiding having to use the grain market as a lender of last resort when prices are low, particularly shortly after harvest. Currently only around two percent of farm households in Malawi have access to formal credit, suggesting considerable potential for WRS as a market mechanism for credit access. The study concludes by considering factors that discourage farmers from participating in WRS. These include high minimum commodity deposit quantities; high transport costs; lack of trust in and difficulties understanding WRS; and problems in accessing WRS credit.', 'Brent Edelman, Lim Hak Lee, Athur Mabiso, and Karl Pauw (2015), Strengthening storage, credit, and food security linkages The role and potential impact of warehouse receipt systems in Malawi.', 'Brent Edelman, Lim Hak Lee, Athur Mabiso, and Karl Pauw, Strengthening storage, credit, and food security linkages The role and potential impact of warehouse receipt systems in Malawi(2015).', 'Brent Edelman, Lim Hak Lee, Athur Mabiso, and Karl Pauw (2015), Strengthening storage, credit, and food security linkages The role and potential impact of warehouse receipt systems in Malawi.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 17, 31, 3), (304, 'Strategic Options for Agriculture and Development in Malawi', 'Andrew Dorward and Ephraim Chirwa ', '2015', 'Government Reports', '', '11044', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'This paper considers potential strategic options for agriculture and development in Malawi in the context of the country’s current situation and the prospects the country faces. After briefly reviewing current national and sectoral policy and potential roles of smallholder agriculture in economic growth, we set out the current situation in order to consider strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.\r\nWe conclude that a major emphasis is needed on supporting changes that reduce the rate of population growth and promote capacity for adaptation and resilience to climate change. Rapid increases in the productivity of agricultural land and labor and in rural incomes will be critical to this, alongside increased education and empowerment of girls and women. There are, however, difficult potential trade-offs to negotiate (for example, between increased irrigation and reduced inflows into Lake Malawi) and these need further consideration.\r\nFrom this analysis we derive a set of nine strategic principles and two operational principles, for eleven in total, that we suggest could helpfully stimulate and guide strategy development to address the opportunities and threats facing Malawian agriculture, as follows:\r\nStrategic principles:\r\n1. Sustainable investments and activities that are viable for and acceptable to all stakeholders.\r\n2. Emphasis on land and wider labor productivity\r\n3. Integration of complementary agricultural and non-agricultural strategies, policies, and investments.\r\n4. Emphasis on broad-based and inclusive growth.\r\n5. Emphasis on increased quality and diversity in food production.\r\n6. Emphasis on market access and affordability of food for all, particularly for the rural and urban poor.\r\n7. Promotion of sustainable practices with accumulation, rather than depletion, of natural resources, taking account of both current and future threats to sustainability.\r\n8. Rapid achievement of broad-based growth as a significant element in reducing the rate of population growth and in supporting climate change adaptation and resilience.\r\n9. Pursuit of agro-processing opportunities to promote value addition with local downstream linkages.\r\nOperational principles:\r\n10. Consistent coordinated vision.\r\n11. Clear priorities and roles.\r\nThe application of these principles is illustrated by indicative consideration of policy and investment options focus-ing on the development of different commodities and broadly-defined resources. Consistent implementation of coordinat-ed and consistent sectoral and inter-sectoral policies to support smallholder agriculture development is critical for achievement of the desired growth and diversification impacts. A number of concrete and immediate policy and invest-ment recommendations are made.', 'Andrew Dorward and Ephraim Chirwa (2015), Strategic Options for Agriculture and Development in Malawi.', 'Andrew Dorward and Ephraim Chirwa , Strategic Options for Agriculture and Development in Malawi(2015).', 'Andrew Dorward and Ephraim Chirwa (2015), Strategic Options for Agriculture and Development in Malawi.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 16, 28, 3), (305, 'MAPPING THE LINKAGES BETWEEN AGRICULTURE, FOOD SECURITY & NUTRITION IN MALAWI', 'Noora-Lisa Aberman, Janice Meerman, and Todd Benson', '2015', 'Government Reports', '', '17577', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Although dramatic increases in maize yields since the implementation of the Farm Income Subsidy Program (FISP)—the major national program that subsidizes fertilizer and improved seed primarily for maize cultivation—have likely enhanced household maize self-sufficiency (Chibwana et al. 2012), Malawian diets remain poorly diversified. Indeed, the contribution of foods other than maize to national per capita dietary energy supply appears to have actually decreased slightly in recent years.\r\nPoorly diversified diets characterized by an overreliance on starchy staples are a red flag for malnutrition. Conversely, diets which include a variety of foods are considered important for positive health. Diets which include nutrient-rich legumes and animal-source foods as well as vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables are associated with micronutrient adequacy and reductions in chronic undernutrition (Arimond and Ruel 2004; Thompson and Amoroso 2011).\r\nWhile crop diversification is an explicit goal of the Government of Malawi, continued support to achieving maize self-sufficiency through the provision of input subsidies also remains a strong policy objective (MOAFS 2011). Theoretically, these two objectives are not mutually exclusive; increasing maize yields through intensification methods, such as those involving increased use of inorganic fertilizer and improved seed facilitated by the FISP subsidies, could potentially free land resources for cultivation of other, more nutrient-dense food crops (Arndt, Pauw, and Thurlow 2013). However, this hypothesis assumes that diversification in household-level production of food crops does, indeed, lead to diversification in the diets of individuals, with possible subsequent positive results their nutritional status.\r\nEvidence on this assumption is scant. Although a large number of empirical studies analyze the determinants of crop diversification or dietary diversity, only a handful assess causal linkages between the two (Herforth and Harris 2014; Hirvonen and Hoddinott 2014; Remans et al 2014). For Malawi specifically, a recent study presented new evidence on precisely this pathway.

In terms of production, the RBM increased pigeonpea production by 65 kg per household, reflecting both a higher area planted (0.4 acres) and a higher yield (30 kg/acre). In terms of commercialisation, the RBM increased the share of households selling pigeonpea by 24%, the average quantity sold by 16 kg, and the average income from pigeonpea sales by MWK 4,741/household (US$ 5). The RBM also significantly increased the amount of pigeonpea used for home consumption by an average of 49 kg/household. We conclude that, although participants and non-participants differed in some poverty indicators, based on national and international poverty lines the RBM was socially inclusive. The RBM has also had a significant impact on improving access to certified seed and the adoption of improved varieties. However, the impact on commercialisation was modest. One third of the RBM participants did not sell any pigeonpea and two-thirds of pigeonpea production was not sold but kept for home consumption. In the case of staple food crops like pigeonpea, the twin objectives of social inclusion and commercialisation may prove too difficult to combine. On the other hand, by successfully combining social inclusion with higher household food security the RBM has benefitted poorer smallholders.', 'Prepared by Oxford Policy Management on behalf of SAIRLA (2019), Smallholder Risk Management Solutions (SRMS) in Malawi and Ethiopia Replicable Business Model, Malawi: Social inclusion and impact evaluation.', 'Prepared by Oxford Policy Management on behalf of SAIRLA, Smallholder Risk Management Solutions (SRMS) in Malawi and Ethiopia Replicable Business Model, Malawi: Social inclusion and impact evaluation(2019).', 'Prepared by Oxford Policy Management on behalf of SAIRLA (2019), Smallholder Risk Management Solutions (SRMS) in Malawi and Ethiopia Replicable Business Model, Malawi: Social inclusion and impact evaluation.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 13, 30, 3), (314, 'Agricultural input subsidies in Sub-Saharan Africa', 'Kenneth Baltzer and Henrik Hansen', '2011', 'Corporate Reports', '', '31852', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'The purpose of this study is to evaluate the experiences of recent applications of agricultural input\r\nsubsidies in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Subsidising agricultural inputs is controversial. On the one hand,\r\nagricultural input use in SSA is very low by international standards, and the hope is that subsidies may\r\ninduce farmers to adopt the use of inputs and thereby increase agricultural productivity. On the other\r\nhand, many economists argue that agricultural subsidies of all kinds are expensive, mainly benefit the\r\nwrong people, and distort agricultural markets by encouraging farmers to overusing whatever is\r\nsubsidised. The recent input subsidy programmes reviewed in this study attempt to meet these\r\nchallenges by introducing so-called “smart” subsidies, which are specifically designed to maximise\r\neffects at the lowest cost (we will discuss smart subsidies in more detail below).\r\nThe overall objective of the evaluation study is to “...provide an assessment of smart subsidy\r\nprogrammes in SSA, focusing on obtained results as well as the way results have (or have not) been\r\nachieved, hindering and enabling factors, pre-conditions, etc.” (Terms of Reference, included in the\r\nAppendix). We evaluate the overall performance of selected input subsidy programmes, identify the\r\nmost important factors affecting programme performance, and outline areas where knowledge is scarce\r\nor non-existent.\r\nWe have selected agricultural input subsidy programmes in four SSA countries, Malawi, Zambia, Ghana\r\nand Tanzania to form the basis for the evaluation study. The need to assess the subsidy programmes in\r\nsome detail dictates our focus on relatively few cases. The Malawi programme has received a great deal\r\nof attention as an example of a successful input subsidy programme. It is massive in scale, targeting is\r\nbased on a voucher system, and delivery of inputs to farmers is largely state-managed. It is also\r\nreasonably well documented in the literature. The large scale programme in Zambia provides an\r\nexample of an alternative non-voucher targeting system and features state-driven delivery. The Ghana\r\ncase demonstrates a relatively small programme with a very market oriented delivery system, and the\r\nTanzania case provides insights into the targeting performance of a voucher scheme. Together, the\r\nselected cases provide considerable breadth in terms of differences in the scope, design,\r\nimplementation and outcome of the programmes, as well as surrounding conditions.\r\nThe evaluation study is organised as follows: In the next section we discuss what is meant by “smart”\r\nsubsidies.

Cropping systems which combine cereal crops, agroforestry and small doses of\r\ninorganic fertilizers produce food-crop yields greater than inorganic fertilizers alone on degraded soils, as well as\r\nrecuperating soil nutrients over a period of years. These agroforestry practices improve the livelihoods of farm\r\nfamilies, lower risks associated with fertilizer price increases and drought and at the same time improve biodiversity\r\nand nutrient and water cycling in the agro-ecosystem.

The\r\npurpose of AFSP was to combine tested agroforestry practices, effective partnership and informed policies to increase\r\nfood security and income, and improve livelihood opportunities for rural communities in Malawi, through\r\naccelerated adoption of fertilizer trees, fruit trees, fodder trees and fuel-wood trees. To accomplish these purposes,\r\nICRAF provided the farming communities with planting material (tree seeds and seedlings), and the knowledge\r\nof how to care for them and effectively combine them with food crops.

Rural households face\r\nmultiple shocks, most of which threaten their livelihoods and impact negatively on their\r\nwelfare. This study investigates three inherently interconnected issues: vulnerability to\r\npoverty; risk management strategies; and consumption smoothing. The central research\r\nissue is on understanding the role of risk in household vulnerability and poverty. Using a\r\ntwo-period panel dataset of 259 households in rural Malawi, the study addresses three\r\nobjectives: First, to identify the determinants of vulnerability in rural Malawi. Second, to\r\nanalyze households’ coping mechanisms for different shocks and identify the\r\ndeterminants of these mechanisms. Third, to test for the existence of household\r\nconsumption smoothing as an insurance mechanism against idiosyncratic shocks.\r\nThe panel dataset used in the study was derived from the 2004 second Malawi Integrated\r\nHousehold Survey (IHS2) from which 259 households were sampled and followed up in\r\n2006 with a similar questionnaire. Vulnerability was modelled as expected poverty using\r\nChristiaensen and Subbarao (2004) methodology to investigate the extent to which rural\r\nhouseholds in Malawi are vulnerable to poverty. The results show that in 2004 the\r\nsampled households had an average chance of 44 percent of falling into poverty in 2006\r\nand around 21 percent of the non-poor in 2004 were vulnerable to poverty in 2006.\r\nFurther, female-headed households appear to be more vulnerable than their male\r\ncounterparts. Education, land holdings and running a non-farm income generating\r\nactivity in the household reduce household vulnerability. Community infrastructures such\r\nas health clinics and access to markets have vulnerability-reducing effects. These\r\ncorrelates of vulnerability are extremely similar to the correlates of poverty among the\r\nsampled households. Both covariate and idiosyncratic shocks are felt more by the\r\nvulnerable households.

In particular, green growth policies often encourage developing countries to\r\nredesign their national strategies in ways that might be inconsistent with natural\r\ncomparative advantages and past investments.

Domestic food production\r\ncollapsed nationally in 1992, 1994, and 2001, while serious local shortages occurred in 1995,\r\nand 1997. Crop failures have necessitated substantial commercial grain imports. Food aid has\r\nalso been justified to provide free access to food for the poorest households. From 1990-2003,\r\ncommercial cereal imports totalled 3,805,890 Mt, equivalent to 317,158 Mt annually (roughly\r\n20% of average production). Over the same time frame, total donor food aid (cereals)\r\namounted to 1,413,850 Mt, while non-cereal aid measured 122,230 Mt. The trend shows a\r\ngrowing reliance on food importation and aid.\r\nChapter 2 of this report looks at food supply. The adoption of structural adjustment reforms\r\nfrom the mid 1980s weakened the government’s capacity to support local production. But\r\ndespite the investment constraints, since 1990 per capita availability of food has shown\r\nevidence of a slight improvement, rising from 1,933.4 calories / per capita per day in 1990 to\r\n2,167.9 calories / per capita per day in 2001. This change, although highly variable, is\r\nattributable to an increase in availability of vegetable products through domestic production\r\n(notably root and tuber crops) and maize available through food aid and imports.\r\nThe increased domestic production has assured an annual maize equivalent of Mt 2,697,042,\r\nequal to 224.42 kg/per person annually. At the level of production attained over the previous\r\n5 seasons, this would provide 2,121.23 K.cals per person per day or 93.827% of the\r\nrecommended daily calorie requirement. The fundamental food and nutrition problem in\r\nMalawi in reliable rainfall seasons, is therefore less a supply question, than a problem of\r\nuneven and unequal accessibility.\r\nMalawi remains with a significant structural production deficit in the daily calorie per capita\r\nsupply of wheat, vegetable oils, meat, animal fats and milk. It is reliant on imports to supply\r\nthese foods. Imports of wheat have risen steadily in volume and value over the period. The\r\nmain factor inhibiting increased imports is the weak domestic demand and poorly developed\r\nmarkets due to low economic growth and slow private sector investment.\r\nThe trend of food aid to Malawi shows a substantial increase in volume over the 1970s and\r\nearly 1980s. Since the early 1990s, food aid has intensified and diversified to encompass\r\nwelfare transfer programmes and supplementary feeding for the core poor.\r\nSmallholder production has been cyclically subject to drought impact. Production was\r\nreduced in 1991/92, 1993/94, 1994/95, 1996/7 and 1997/8. But despite these reversals, crop\r\nestimates over the study period show positive trends for maize, rice, millet and sorghum,\r\ngrain legumes, and groundnut production. The trend suggests that, given stable agroenvironmental\r\nconditions and investment in input requirements, a further positive\r\nimprovement (3.5%) in household Kcal/caput will result over the next few years. In this\r\nscenario, by 2005 Malawi will have attained the recommended average calorie requirements\r\n(2267 Kcal/caput). Our analysis shows that the composition of cereals and starch roots in total\r\nrequirements will undergo important changes: cereals will decrease to 55% of daily\r\nrequirements by 2009, whereas starchy roots and tubers will rise to 19% of daily\r\nrecommended requirements by 2009.', 'A.J.E.

Smallholders face many environmental\r\nand individual constraints to commercialize. However, the changing environment driven by growing\r\npopulation, urbanization, income, global interconnectedness, policy reforms, technology, food industry\r\nrestructuring and climate change presents opportunities for smallholder market participation. Efforts\r\nmade in the region produced varying degrees of success depending on contexts and strategies, but\r\ncollaborative efforts have been the most successful. While some negative effects can emerge, the\r\nexpected income-mediated positive results at household and societal level are greater. The key\r\ncomponents of commercialization are its drivers, determinants, processes, strategies, indicators and\r\neffects - which can be synthesized into a conceptual model useful in planning, implementation and\r\nreview of commercialization programs. Future research needs to comprehensively define and measure\r\ncommercialization and develop models which stimulate multi-stakeholder support for smallholders,\r\njoint investments, attitude change and entrepreneurship to succeed in smallholder commercialization.\r\nKey words: Agricultural commercialization, smallholder, income growth, poverty alleviation, southern Africa.', 'Shadreck Zhou, Isaac J.

We distinguish between (i) exposure to climatic disruptions, (ii) bio-physical sensitivity to such disruptions, (iii) household adaptive capacity in terms of farmers’ ability to prepare and adjust to the resulting stress, and, finally, (iv) system-level adaptive capacity that serve as enabling factors for household-level adaptation. We employ a multivariate probit (MVP) and instrumental variable technique to model farming practice selection decisions and their yield impact estimates. We find that exposure to delayed onset of rainfall and greater climate variability as represented by the coefficient of variation of rainfall and temperature is positively associated with the choice of risk-reducing agricultural practices such as tree planting, legume intercropping, and soil and water conservation (SWC); however, it reduces the use of inputs (such as inorganic fertilizer) whose risk reduction benefits are uncertain. Biophysical sensitivity of plots increases the likelihood of choice of tree planting and SWC. In terms of household adaptive capacity, we find that wealthier households are more likely to adopt both modern and sustainable land management (SLM) inputs; and are more likely to adopt SLM inputs on plots under more secure tenure. In terms of system-level adaptive capacity, results show the key role of rural institutions, social capital and supply-side constraints in governing selection decisions for all practices considered, but particularly for tree planting and both organic and inorganic fertilizer. Finally for productivity, we find that on average use of both modern and SLM practices have positive and statistically significant impact on productivity of maize. For SLM practices that also respond to exposure and sensitivity, these results provide direct evidence of their potential to aide households in adapting to further climate change. Results presented have implications for understanding and overcoming barriers to selection for each practice, distinguishing structural aspects such as exposure and sensitivity from potential interventions at the household or systemic levels linked to adaptive capacity.\r\nJEL codes: Q01, Q12, Q16, Q18\r\nKey words: Climate change, adaptation, impact, Malawi', 'Solomon Asfaw, Nancy McCarthy, Leslie Lipper, Aslihan Arslan, Andrea Cattaneo and Mutie Kachulu (2014), Climate variability, adaptation strategies and food security in Malawi.', 'Solomon Asfaw, Nancy McCarthy, Leslie Lipper, Aslihan Arslan, Andrea Cattaneo and Mutie Kachulu, Climate variability, adaptation strategies and food security in Malawi(2014).', 'Solomon Asfaw, Nancy McCarthy, Leslie Lipper, Aslihan Arslan, Andrea Cattaneo and Mutie Kachulu (2014), Climate variability, adaptation strategies and food security in Malawi.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 13, 29, 3), (344, 'CHANGE AND CONTINUITY IN A MALAWIAN VILLAGE: 2003/04 TO 2008/09', 'Tsutomu TAKANE', '2011', 'Journals', '', '22340', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Using comparable household data collected in a Malawian village in 2003/04\r\nand 2008/09, this paper assesses the effects of the Agricultural Input Subsidy Program on\r\nhousehold food security and examines change and continuity in household livelihood situations.\r\nThe subsidy program contributed to the increased use of fertilizer and improved maize\r\nyields and food security in both rich and poor households.

It is paradoxical that this status quo has persisted in spite of two significant factors: their high and increasing involvement in food and agricultural production, and policy commitments at both national and international levels to address gender inequalities in the agricultural sector. Using the case study of the Malawi Farm Input Subsidy Programme (FISP), this research critically engages with these issues to explain why agricultural policies have not been successful in addressing gender inequalities in the sector. It argues that in spite of feminisation of agriculture, development policies in Malawi still largely consider men as ‘the farmers’ and therefore neglect female farmers and the complexity of gender relations. Consequently, the government’s response to food insecurity is compromised by a cyclical process embedded in the policy making cycle that facilitates, re-enforces and perpetuates the subordination of female farmers – the Female Subordination Cycle.\r\nThis research is situated at the intersection of food security, agricultural policy and gender and development literature – fields that are inter-connected but inadequately speak to each other. It therefore brings to the fore connections across these fields that are critical for understanding and consequently addressing the dual and inter-connected challenges of female subordination and food insecurity. Through a detailed examination of how the food security status of FHHs (both de jure and de facto) has been affected by the FISP, it contributes to a de-invisibilisation of female farmers from agricultural policies and interventions.\r\nThe research takes a pragmatic approach and employs mixed research methods. It is grounded in extensive fieldwork involving a large number of participants (over 540). A gender-aware approach to selection of participants is undertaken in that although female farmers are the main and primary research participants, male farmers are also consulted through focus group discussions.', 'Betty Asante Pamela Chinyamunyamu (2014), The Invisibilisation of Female Farmers from Agricultural Policies and Interventions: The case of the Malawi Farm Inputs Subsidy Programme (FISP).', 'Betty Asante Pamela Chinyamunyamu, The Invisibilisation of Female Farmers from Agricultural Policies and Interventions: The case of the Malawi Farm Inputs Subsidy Programme (FISP)(2014).', 'Betty Asante Pamela Chinyamunyamu (2014), The Invisibilisation of Female Farmers from Agricultural Policies and Interventions: The case of the Malawi Farm Inputs Subsidy Programme (FISP).', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 16, 40, 3), (349, 'Barriers to aquaculture development as a pathway to poverty alleviation and food security', 'Malcolm Beveridge, Michael Phillips, Patrick Dugan and Randy Brummet', '2010', 'Journals', '', '60599', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'The importance of aquaculture production in developing countries is reviewed\r\nbriefly. Two sets of barriers to realizing the potential of aquaculture to alleviate\r\npoverty and improve food security and nutrition are identified: those directly\r\nattributable to aquaculture development policies and those arising from a lack of\r\npolicy coherence for development (PCD). The latter applies to a wide range of\r\nsectors, the most important from an aquaculture perspective being energy,\r\nenvironment, agriculture and food production, and trade and sanitary standards.\r\nLack of PCD is apparent at many levels: within development cooperation policies,\r\nbetween aid and non-aid policies within a single donor and between donors, and\r\ndonor-partner coherence to achieve shared development objectives.\r\nWe conclude that development agencies can play a greater role in fostering the\r\nemergence of aquaculture as a means of alleviating poverty and improving food\r\nsecurity and nutrition.

If markets behaved efficiently and in the absence\r\nof trade barriers, food prices should not exceed the price in world markets plus the cost of\r\nimporting it to domestic markets (i.e., import parity). However, food prices routinely soar\r\nabove import parity in several countries of East and Southern Africa, causing widespread\r\nhunger and asset depletion among the poor.\r\nPolicy makers have two good reasons for seeking to understand why domestic food\r\nprices sometimes exceed import parity: first, to develop strategies to protect the welfare of\r\nthe urban and rural poor in response to national food production shortfalls, and second, to\r\npromote political and social stability. This study is motivated by the need to avoid such food\r\ncrises, to understand why they occur with such regularity in the region, and to consider\r\npolicy options for avoiding them in the future.\r\nAt the heart of this issue are the interactions between governments and traders in food\r\nmarkets.

This approach can be\r\nusefully complemented by an investigation of the strategic interactions between public and\r\nprivate marketing actors and how their behaviour responds to one another.

This article reviews evidence on the scope\r\nand nature of the climate change challenge; and assesses the impact of climate change on\r\nagriculture and food security in Sub-Saharan Africa. From the review, it is apparent that\r\nthe climate in Africa is already exhibiting significant changes, evident by changes in\r\naverage temperature, change in amount of rainfall and patterns and the prevalence of\r\nfrequency and intensity of weather extremes. The review also revealed that although\r\nuncertainties exist with regards to the magnitude of impacts, climate will negatively affect\r\nagricultural production in Sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, as result of current and\r\nexpected climate change, the area suitable for agriculture, the length of growing seasons\r\nand yield potential, particularly along the margins of semi-arid and arid areas, are expected\r\nto decrease. These impacts will affect all components of food security: food availability,\r\nfood accessibility, food utilisation and food stability and hence increase the risk of hunger\r\nin the region. The review thus confirms the general consensus that Sub-Saharan Africa is\r\nthe most vulnerable region to climate change.

These studies have explained agricultural policies in terms of urban bias, economic\r\nreforms, and domestic politics. Recently, the emphasis has been on explanations that reference the\r\nexistence of a rational-legal and patronage element within the African state. Such explanations tend to\r\nunderplay the extent to which agricultural policies are devised in a context of power asymmetries between\r\nthe state and international donors or financial institutions. In the Malawian context specifically, limited\r\nattention has been paid to the possibility that policies are a negotiated outcome of interactions informed\r\nby competing objectives at the state-donor interface. Accordingly, the proposed study will attempt to fill\r\nthis existing gap in the literature.\r\nMalawi is currently at the center of policy debates regarding the state’s capacity to launch a\r\nuniquely African Green Revolution within a marketized and capitalist configuration. Such debates mark\r\nthe continued underinvestment in agriculture on the African continent. The Malawi case, therefore,\r\nprovides a unique opportunity to explore the extent to which state level efforts are either confounded or\r\nenabled by donors and international financial institutions. The specific successes and failures of the\r\nMalawi case speak to the question of how other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa might successfully\r\naddress food production and food security issues.\r\nThis dissertation will explore the overarching question of the role of the state and international\r\ndonors in shaping agricultural and food security policies using Malawi’s farm input subsidy program as a\r\ncase study. The main research methods to explore this question are qualitative, including interviews with\r\nvarious development stakeholders (government ministries, international development agencies,\r\nresearchers from policy research and academic institutions, and civil society organizations) associated with agriculture and food policy making, and textual analysis of publications associated with them. The\r\nresearch specifically targets key experts in the area of agriculture and food security.\r\nThe findings indicate that policies have been greatly influenced by the competing ideologies of\r\nthe state and donors, with each recognizing the problem but differing on the approach and modalities for\r\nsolving food insecurity in Malawi. To this extent, there has been considerable inconsistency in policies\r\nwith obvious negative outcomes. More recently, there has been an aligning of policy positions towards\r\nthe use of social welfare programs and commercialization in addressing food insecurity. This alignment\r\nrelates to policy positions on both the FISP and the configuration of the wider agricultural sector as a\r\nwhole, as manifest in the National Agricultural Policy, for example. The role of domestic politics vs.\r\ndonors in policy processes has been in flux due to changes in the political and economic environment and\r\nconfiguration at specific junctures.\r\nThe study also finds that evidence has been important in informing policy making, more\r\nimportantly, finance has had significant impact in attenuating the influence of domestic politics, so that\r\nthe recently proposed and implemented reforms to FISP, although connected to considerable\r\nsociopolitical pressure from various quarters, have been largely precipitated by a serious fiscal crisis on\r\nthe part of the government. To this extent, the state has assumed a pragmatic approach to policy making\r\ni.e., one that is cognizant of the limitations imposed by both finance and Malawi’s very harsh,\r\nchallenging, and complex context.', 'Peter Rock Nkhoma (2016), Constituting Agricultural and Food Policy in Malawi: The Role of the State and International Donors in the Farm Input Subsidy Program (FISP).', 'Peter Rock Nkhoma, Constituting Agricultural and Food Policy in Malawi: The Role of the State and International Donors in the Farm Input Subsidy Program (FISP)(2016).', 'Peter Rock Nkhoma (2016), Constituting Agricultural and Food Policy in Malawi: The Role of the State and International Donors in the Farm Input Subsidy Program (FISP).', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 16, 46, 3), (364, 'Determinants and spatiotemporal dimensions of crop diversification in Malawi', 'Henry Kankwamba, Mariam ATJ Mapila and Karl Pauw', '2012', 'Public Reports', '', '39055', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Both micro- and macroeconomic evidence suggest that the promotion of agricultural diversification in agriculture-based developing countries makes sense. At the microeconomic level increased agricultural diversification promotes nutrition and raises household incomes, while allowing farmers to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change. At the macroeconomic level agricultural diversification contributes to overall economic diversification, industrialization, and growth, as well as economic resilience in face of external economic shocks. This study is specifically concerned with crop diversification in the agricultural sector. Using Malawi as a case study, we analyze the recent patterns and determinants of crop diversification in order to better understand how policies impact on diversification or how they can be better formulated or implemented to effectively promote diversification. Malawi is an interesting case study for several reasons. It is one of the poorest nations in the world and relies heavily on agriculture for food security and economic growth. This suggests policies that contribute to a more vibrant and diversified agricultural sector would bring about socioeconomic gains. At present, however, the agricultural sector is highly undiversified, with maize and tobacco being the dominant staple and export crops respectively. Despite this, the government has since the 2005/06 cropping season implemented the Farm Input Subsidy Program aimed primarily at increasing maize productivity and output. Data from two nationally representative household surveys, which covers cropping seasons in 2004/05 and 2010/11, will shed light on whether this major intervention has had a positive or negative impact on crop diversification, either through freeing up farm land for other crops (due to higher maize yields obtained) or through crowding out other crops. In fact, we find that although crop diversification has deteriorated nationally and regionally, beneficiaries of the subsidy program have indeed become more diversified. This possibly points at an increase in maize cultivation among non-beneficiary households so that they may become eligible for the subsidy. We conclude that while various policies in Malawi all encourage agricultural diversification in broad terms, there is a lack of strategic thinking around how exactly it will be achieved, and more importantly, how crop diversification could be promoted among different types of farmers with the aim of contributing to economic growth, risk reduction, and nutrition security.\r\nKeywords: Crop diversification; agricultural commercialization; Malawi', 'Henry Kankwamba, Mariam ATJ Mapila and Karl Pauw (2012), Determinants and spatiotemporal dimensions of crop diversification in Malawi.', 'Henry Kankwamba, Mariam ATJ Mapila and Karl Pauw, Determinants and spatiotemporal dimensions of crop diversification in Malawi(2012).', 'Henry Kankwamba, Mariam ATJ Mapila and Karl Pauw (2012), Determinants and spatiotemporal dimensions of crop diversification in Malawi.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 0, 0, 3), (365, 'Crude oil price shocks and macroeconomic performance in Africa’s oil-producing countries', 'Adeleke Omolade, Harold Ngalawa and Adebayo Kutu', '2019', 'Journals', '', '11321', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'The study investigates the influence of crude oil price shocks on the\r\nmacroeconomic performance of Africa’s oil-producing countries.

This study aims to assess the economic impacts of investments in groundnut research and development (R&D) in Malawi, covering the period 1982-2013. Relevant information on investments and changes in outputs was gathered from a range of sources including a smallholder household survey and secondary data provided by international and national agricultural research programmes, and non-governmental organisations. The economic surplus approach (the PEDPIS method and the Akino-Hayami method) was employed to compute the internal rate of return (IRR) and the net present value (NPV). It was found that the IRR for the base scenario was 22%, higher than the opportunity cost of capital being 11%, indicating that the investment was competitive as well as profitable. The NPV ranged from USD 204 million to USD 206 million, depending on the calculation method. With sensitivity analyses, the NPV remained positive and the IRR stayed above 11% in all scenarios except when the research and extension costs were raised by 50%. The IRR compares well among impacts of crop research in sub-Saharan Africa.

The results show that the Farm Input Subsidy Program is not poverty targeted and that the\r\nnational government, districts, and communities are\r\nnearly uniform in their failure to target the poor, with\r\nany minimal targeting (or mis-targeting) overwhelmingly\r\nmaterializing at the community level. The findings are\r\nrobust to the choice of the eligibility indicator and the\r\ndecomposition method. The multivariate analysis of\r\nhousehold program participation reinforces these results\r\nand reveals that the relatively well-off, rather than the\r\npoor or the wealthiest, and the locally well-connected\r\nhave a higher likelihood of program participation and,\r\non average, receive a greater number of input coupons.\r\nSince a key program objective is to increase food security\r\nand income among resource-poor farmers, the lack of\r\ntargeting is a concern and should underlie considerations\r\nof alternative targeting approaches that, in part or\r\ncompletely, rely on proxy means tests at the local level.', 'Talip Kilic Edward Whitney Paul Winters (2013), Decentralized Beneficiary Targeting in Large-Scale Development Programs Insights from the Malawi Farm Input Subsidy Program.', 'Talip Kilic Edward Whitney Paul Winters, Decentralized Beneficiary Targeting in Large-Scale Development Programs Insights from the Malawi Farm Input Subsidy Program(2013).', 'Talip Kilic Edward Whitney Paul Winters (2013), Decentralized Beneficiary Targeting in Large-Scale Development Programs Insights from the Malawi Farm Input Subsidy Program.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 5, 15, 3), (369, 'Fish WorldFish Centre.

The reality is a situation of desperation, tragically in the midst of global, aggregate surplus. Global food production is increasing at a higher rate than global population growth, yet the number of people suffering from chronic hunger is rising. This seemingly contradictory fact is a consequence of severe food insecurity. Donors provide food aid to food insecure states as an ostensible act of humanitarianism. However, critics argue that food aid donations hold ulterior motives, which are favourable to donors, but condemn food insecure recipients to their desperate circumstances. This debate, calling into question the motivations and effectiveness of food aid, remains unsettled in the literature as well as in practice. The world can no longer risk the implementation of possibly ineffective or detrimental measures in response to food insecurity. This study investigates the purported relationship between food aid and food security. It considers the different arguments within this debate and ultimately determines how valid these arguments are in a Sub-Saharan African context, specifically in the cases of Kenya and Mozambique. The Human Security approach, the Capabilities Approach, as well as Theories of Dependency are deployed as analytical tools according to which a framework of analysis is constructed and applied to both case studies. Along with insight gained from interviewed experts, this study is able to conclude that the relationship between food aid and food security in sub-Saharan Africa, specifically the cases of Kenya and Mozambique, is not directly relational. Positive arguments in the debate regarding food aid and food security are not valid in the cases of Kenya and Mozambique, while the negative arguments of dependency and underdevelopment are much more likely to be realised. Both countries receive predominantly emergency food aid, the alternative to which may often be destitution. It is thus neither helpful nor realistic to suggest that food aid provision should be halted due to its negative consequences. This study concludes that although the provision of emergency food aid seems a necessary evil, it should no longer be considered a method of sustainably increasing recipients’ food security. The findings of this study may assist in the development of more effective practices regarding food aid and food security. By addressing the root causes of food insecurity, and enabling food aid dependant countries to recognise their weaknesses, positive and sustainable development may be promoted, which may in turn improve food security and lower the necessity of, and dependency on, food aid.', 'Landi Ehlers (2019), Curse or Cure?

Scientific literature has been\r\nscreened on a selection of developing countries in which food and nutrition security and sustainable agriculture\r\nrepresent a focal sector for EU intervention (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cuba, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, Kenya, Lao\r\nPDR, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Nicaragua, Niger, Senegal, Tanzania, Togo, Zimbabwe). In total, 172 documents\r\nhave been synthesised, a country brief has been prepared for each investigated country, and some general\r\nconclusions have been drawn.\r\nOverall, the majority of analysed publications focuses on small scale, extensive farming systems that produce\r\nfood at subsistence levels and for sale on local markets. This includes smallholder farming producing staple\r\ncrops (millet, sorghum, yam, etc.) or vegetable gardening for local markets. The agroecological practices that\r\nare mostly studied are: agroforestry, intercropping (or mixed cropping), introduction of legumes in rotations, soil\r\nand water conservation practices (mulching, return of crop residues, zaï holes etc.), use of animal manure,\r\nbiocontrol methods to mitigate chemical pesticide use.\r\nAt least 50% of the analysed papers report a positive contribution of agroecological practices to food security,\r\nmostly due to improved yields and/or a better economic situation of producers. The improvement of soil quality\r\nis key to improve yields and consequently income and food security; this can be achieved using various practices\r\nincluding the use of residue mulch from tree leaves in agroforestry, as well as crop mixtures or intercropping\r\nand longer more diversified crop rotations. Moreover, higher on-farm crop species diversity often results in more\r\ndiversified diets. Diversified crop systems, including the introduction of agroforestry, improve household\r\nnutritional status and have positive links to better health conditions. On the other hand, the lack of access to\r\ninputs is an important limitation to the improvement of soil fertility (manure, mineral fertilizer, leaf litter, etc.),\r\nwhich remains a major hindrance for food security.\r\nThe agroecological cultivation of cash crops, post-harvest practices and crop-livestock integration were overall\r\nlacking in the scientific analyses, as well as the assessments of fully agroecological systems compared to\r\nindividual agroecological practices or groups of practices.\r\nThe report identifies three factors required for the substantial development of agroecology at the farm level:\r\nmore financial support from the government, greater scientific knowledge on novel agroecological practices,\r\nand a higher market value for agroecological products.', 'Paracchini M.L., Justes E., Wezel A., Zingari P.C., Kahane R., Madsen S., Scopel E., Héraut A.

It was funded through a grant from\r\nthe UK Department for International Development\r\n(DFID). The project explored the political economy of\r\ncereal seed systems across five distinct country contexts\r\n– Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Ghana and Zimbabwe – during\r\n2009-10. The evolution of seed research and development\r\nprogrammes and processes has varied greatly\r\nacross these countries. In each case, a unique set of public\r\nand private actors and interests has been involved in\r\ndefining priorities in seed policy and implementing projects,\r\neach seeking to influence those agendas to their\r\nadvantage. Moreover, each country has a different reliance\r\non ‘modern’ hybrid (or sometimes biotech) varieties\r\nand associated R&D and supply systems and an independent\r\ninformal sector, involving networks of farmer\r\nexperimenters and seed bulkers and suppliers, with\r\nvarying degrees of capacity.\r\nAs calls for a ‘Uniquely African Green Revolution’ gain\r\nmomentum, the focus on seeds and seed systems is rising\r\nup the agricultural policy agenda. Much of the debate\r\nstresses the technological or market dimensions, with\r\nsubstantial investments being made in seed improvement\r\nand the development of both public and private\r\nsector delivery systems. But there is currently much less\r\nemphasis on the wider policy dimensions – and particularly\r\nthe political economy of policymaking in these\r\ndiverse agricultural contexts.\r\nExperience tells us it is these factors that often make\r\nor break even the best designed and most well intentioned\r\nintervention. And since investment in seed\r\nimprovement and supply was last emphasised as a major\r\npriority in agriculture (in the 1970s and 80s), contexts\r\nhave changed dramatically. The collapse of national\r\npublic sector breeding systems has been dramatic, and\r\nthis has only partially been compensated for by the selective\r\nentry of the private sector. Large multinational seed\r\nand agricultural supply companies are increasingly dominating\r\nthe global scene, and there are many claims made\r\nabout the promises of new technologies (notably transgenics)\r\ntransforming the seed sector through a technological\r\nrevolution. While informal breeding and seed\r\nsupply systems continue to exist, and indeed have been\r\nextensively supported through NGOs and other civil\r\nsociety groups, they are often under pressure, as drought,\r\ncorruption and conflict take their toll and economic\r\ntransformation and livelihood change continues apace,\r\nor they are ignored or excluded from policy circles.\r\nThe focus on cereal seed systems allowed this project\r\nto concentrate on a similar set of crops across the five\r\nstudy countries with a key influence on food security at\r\nhousehold and national levels. Given the political reverberations\r\nof the ‘food crisis’ of 2007-08, this enabled\r\ntimely analysis of the implications of the policy processes\r\nshaping the breeding, production, marketing and distribution\r\nof cereal seeds. As this FAC Working Paper shows,\r\nwhether grown for local subsistence or traded commercially,\r\nthe significance of cereal crops to national politics\r\n(and therefore arguments about food security and sovereignty),\r\ncommercial interests and local livelihoods is\r\nprofound.\r\nTo gain clear insights into the policy actors, networks,\r\ninterests and narratives at play, this project sought to\r\ntest the hypothesis that contrasting politics and different\r\nconfigurations of interests will affect the way cereal seed\r\nsystems operate and shape how a ‘New Green Revolution’\r\nwill ultimately play out. As such, the five country studies\r\nanalysed their respective national seed policy processes\r\nby asking:\r\n•• How do seed policies get created, and by whom?\r\n•• How do ideas about what makes a ‘good seed policy’\r\nchange over time?\r\n•• How are boundaries drawn around seed problems and\r\npolicy ‘storylines’ elaborated?\r\n••Whose voices are taken into account in the seed policy\r\nprocess? And whose are excluded?\r\n••What spaces exist for new ideas, actors and networks?\r\nHow can these be opened up?\r\nThe underlying implication in all these cases is that\r\npolitics matter and that by engaging critically with seed\r\npolicy processes, we can begin to define and then deliberate\r\namong different framings and interests to shift the\r\nfocus of the debate beyond the usual technical/market\r\nfix.\r\nJohn Thompson and Ian Scoones, Project Co-ordinators\r\n(August 2010)', 'Blessings Chinsinga (2010), Seeds and Subsidies: The Political Economy of Input Programmes in Malawi.', 'Blessings Chinsinga, Seeds and Subsidies: The Political Economy of Input Programmes in Malawi(2010).', 'Blessings Chinsinga (2010), Seeds and Subsidies: The Political Economy of Input Programmes in Malawi.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 6, 22, 3), (389, 'Factors Influencing Access to Agricultural Input Subsidy Coupons in Malawi', 'Ephraim W.

The primary focus is the national level, but some\r\nof the implications of national debates at sub-national\r\nlevels, and the questions they raise, are also discussed.\r\nThe paper shows how the climate change-agriculture\r\ndebate at national levels is largely framed as an issue of\r\nmanaging the additional risks on agricultural production\r\nsystems. The two dominant narratives in Malawi centre\r\non, first, the need to make agriculture robust in the face\r\nof climate change, and second, to consider agriculture\r\nas part of a broader development focus.

The primary objective of this project is to understand the political and economic factors that contribute to tobacco production and control. Tobacco is a unique crop. On the one hand decades of research has confirmed that tobacco consumption is entirely detrimental to human health, while on the other tobacco continues to be a lucrative economic commodity for some. From a policy perspective there is a global movement by governments to control the marketing, sale, price, packaging and other aspects of tobacco products while within the same governments there is often ambivalence to or outright dismissal of the health risk of tobacco consumption as officials privilege policies that support tobacco production. The policies that support tobacco production are often founded on the belief that tobacco is an important crop for economic development. Malawi is a country that has relied and continues to rely heavily on tobacco production. Malawi’s economic ties to tobacco production fall in two broad categories. The first pertains to the relationship between tobacco production and country-level economic factors such as foreign exchange earnings and direct and indirect economic effects of tobacco industry investment. The second category involves the relationship between tobacco production and the economic livelihoods of tobacco growers. It is this second category that is the focus of this report. There is a common narrative promoted by tobacco interests that tobacco control will result in economic hardship for farmers who rely on this crop. Governments of many tobacco-producing countries also continue to claim that tobacco control hurts farmers’ livelihoods. Despite the widely purported claim that tobacco farmers benefit economically from tobacco growing and are detrimentally affected by tobacco control at the national and international level, the empirical research to support this assertion is scarce. Empirical evidence systematically elucidating the nature of tobacco farmers’ individual-level livelihoods in Africa is scarce.', 'Jeffrey Drope, Ph.D Donald Makoka, Ph.D Raphael Lencucha, Ph.D Adriana Appau (2016), FARM-LEVEL ECONOMICS OF TOBACCO PRODUCTION IN MALAWI.', 'Jeffrey Drope, Ph.D Donald Makoka, Ph.D Raphael Lencucha, Ph.D Adriana Appau, FARM-LEVEL ECONOMICS OF TOBACCO PRODUCTION IN MALAWI(2016).', 'Jeffrey Drope, Ph.D Donald Makoka, Ph.D Raphael Lencucha, Ph.D Adriana Appau (2016), FARM-LEVEL ECONOMICS OF TOBACCO PRODUCTION IN MALAWI.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 3, 20, 3), (395, 'Effects of Economic and Trade Policy Reforms on Food Security in Malawi', 'Ephraim W.

This paper conducts a factor and sequential typology analysis to identify groups of countries categorized according to five measures of food security—consumption, production, imports, distribution, and agricultural potential—by using indicators from 175 countries. The analysis first identifies five distinct food security groups, characterized by food intake, and then further splits these groups based on the various measures of food production, trade security, and agricultural potential. The results suggest that the general category of “developing countries” is extremely heterogeneous and is not particularly useful if the focus is on issues of food security. The results also indicate that different responses are needed by different types of food-insecure countries to address the food and financial crises.\r\nKey Words: food security, typology, agricultural potential, factor analysis', 'Bingxin Yu, Liangzhi You and Shenggen Fan (2010), Toward a Typology of Food Security in Developing Countries.', 'Bingxin Yu, Liangzhi You and Shenggen Fan, Toward a Typology of Food Security in Developing Countries(2010).', 'Bingxin Yu, Liangzhi You and Shenggen Fan (2010), Toward a Typology of Food Security in Developing Countries.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 2, 12, 3); INSERT INTO `books` (`ID`, `Name`, `Author`, `Year`, `Category`, `Cite`, `File`, `Date`, `Descreption`, `APA`, `Chicago`, `Cambridge`, `Cover`, `Org`, `downlaods_count`, `citations_count`, `likes`) VALUES (397, 'Formal and Informal Social Protection in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Complex Welfare Mix to Achieve Poverty and Inequality Reduction', 'Rika Verpoorten and Gert Verschraegen', '2008', 'Public Reports', '', '88198', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'In the last years, social policy has been rediscovered and reappraised as a important tool to address\r\npoverty and social inequality in development contexts. After decades of structural adjustment policies\r\nand cutting back of national social programmes, international organizations such as the World Bank,\r\nthe ILO and UNDP increasingly recognize social protection as a main contributor to social cohesion\r\nand development. However, there are few studies that systematically analyse the link between formal\r\nand informal social protection mechanisms in developing countries and their contribution to the social\r\nprotection level of the population. In this article we analyse the interplay between formal and informal\r\nsocial protection institutions and their contribution to the shaping of the welfare mix of sub-Saharan\r\nAfrican countries. We look at the wide range of social protection mechanisms available in sub-Saharan\r\ncountries, namely formal social security arrangements, the provision of basic social goods and\r\ninformal, community- and family-based social protection mechanisms. In analysing their strengths and\r\nweaknesses, we assess how these different mechanisms can complement each other and can\r\ncontribute to the overall level of social protection of the population. Our analysis illustrates that,\r\nalthough each of the discussed mechanisms has its pitfalls, they largely complement each other and in\r\nthis way are able to protect the livelihoods of the major part of the population. Furthermore, we argue\r\nthat the sub-Saharan African welfare mix not only is characterized by the interplay between formal\r\nand informal mechanisms, but also by the interplay between different actors (e.g. the government,\r\ninternational organizations, NGO’s, communities, family, etc.). This intensive collaboration is needed to\r\nsafeguard the effectiveness and efficiency of the available social protection mechanisms.

In the context of international agricultural research for development, Horton et al. define partnership as “a sustained multi-organizational relationship with mutually agreed objectives and an exchange or sharing of resources or knowledge for the purpose of generating research outputs (new knowledge or technology) or fostering innovation (use of new ideas or technology) for practical ends.” This definition embraces a wide diversity of partnerships that are often complex and multilateral. It is the working definition used in this review.\r\nThe basic rationale for research organizations to enter into partnership is to combine assets and skills in ways that create synergies and enhance the potential size and probability of impacts on the ground on food security, poverty reduction, and sustainability. Thiele et al. (2011) further characterize objectives of partnerships as to: learn and jointly innovate, broker innovations, improve coordination, reduce costs, and advocate policy changes. Successful partnerships build trust, enhance understanding, define roles, and engage in joint action (Thiele et al., 2011).\r\nThe need for and potential payoffs to partnerships have increased with the complexity of science, the growing multidisciplinarity of agricultural problems, the broader institutional landscape in which R&D organizations operate, the increasing number of developmental goals (enshrined in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)), and pressure from R&D funders to deliver wider impacts in more cost-effective ways (Anderson et al., 2013; Hall, 2012).\r\nEven just considering bilateral arrangements introduces a wide range of possible partnerships. In this review, a simple typology is used, consisting of (i) partnerships among public R&D organizations, (ii) public-private partnerships, (iii) partnerships with farmers and their organizations, and (iv) partnerships with NGOs. Even within a given type of partnership there is much potential diversity. Partnerships may be for funding of R&D; accessing scientific knowledge and tools; or delivering new technologies to farmers, especially resource-poor farmers. Further, since many partnerships are multilateral and involve several types of partners, the classification of partnerships for the review is subjective, based on what seems to be the dominant partnership type.', 'USAID (2013), Feed the Future Learning Agenda Literature Review: Improving Research and Development.', 'USAID, Feed the Future Learning Agenda Literature Review: Improving Research and Development(2013).', 'USAID (2013), Feed the Future Learning Agenda Literature Review: Improving Research and Development.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 7, 23, 3), (400, 'Modeling rain-fed maize vulnerability to droughts using the standardized precipitation index from satellite estimated rainfall-Southern Malawi case study', 'Harikishan Jayanthi, Gregory J.

It is a multi layer system with trees and/or bushes integrated with crops.\r\nThat knowledge has been extended in the district through the land management programme,\r\nLAMP. It is said to be a “win-win” system with both economic and ecologic benefits. For a\r\nland use system to be sustainable, three spheres have to incorporate to reach a balanced\r\ndevelopment; the economic sphere, the ecologic sphere and the social sphere. To achieve\r\nsustainable development, one sphere can not develop without the others. This study aims to\r\nsee if agro-forestry in Babati district balances all three spheres, if it is a proper tool toward\r\nsustainable development. It is a qualitative case study with semi-structured interviews with\r\nfarmers in Babati and one interview in Sweden. The fieldwork in Babati where held under\r\ntwo weeks, based on interviews with farmers who practice agro-forestry and farmers who do\r\nnot, and their opinion about it. The result indicates that it employs a lot of people and that the\r\neconomy among farmers in the district has improved. Most farmers say their economy is more\r\nsecure, because it is a multipurpose system and most people can adopt the technologies\r\nbecause high costs or advanced technology are not required. Farmers benefit from the\r\necosystem services provided from agro-forestry, for example water catchment and decreased\r\nsoil erosion which also improves the environment. Soils regain their fertility and the land use\r\nbecomes more resilient when trees integrate with crops. Many farmers believe the equity\r\nbetween gender has improved and that condition for women improves when fuel wood can be\r\ngathered from trees on the farm instead of walking long distances to a forest.

Agriculture is one of the most vulnerable sectors and\r\nconsequently has suffered from the negative impacts of climate change. As a result,\r\ncommunities, NGOs and the government of Malawi are adapting (adjusting to continue\r\nderiving benefits) to the changing conditions in order for Malawian farmers and their families\r\nto survive, since their livelihoods are dependent on agriculture.\r\nThis adaptation is inevitable and will add a cost to the national economy and households. To\r\nsuccessfully calculate this there is a need for proper planning and costing of adaptation\r\nstrategies at household, community and national level. Currently, the exact costs of\r\nadaptation are not yet known hence this study was undertaken to investigate what\r\nadaptation measures are currently available in the maize subsector in Chikhwawa District in\r\nthe Lower Shire Valley of Malawi and how much it will cost at household, community and\r\nnational level to continue to carry out such activities. The calculation is based on climate\r\nprojections that are likely to happen in Chikhwawa in the next 50 years.\r\nThe study revealed that communities are already coping with climate change through a\r\nnumber of strategies including: use of early and drought-resistant varieties, irrigation\r\nsystems, selling of assets, winter cropping and diversification. Regarding climate projections,\r\nit is expected that the temperatures in Chikhwawa will increase by 3oC by 2065, which will\r\ntranslate into having more days in a month with a mean temperature of above 32oC. It is also\r\nexpected that drier conditions will prevail in the future (2046 - 2065).\r\nIn terms of costs, Chikhwawa will require about US$55,034,932 (over five years) in the\r\nmaize subsector to adapt to climate change. The results of the study suggest that\r\ncommunities and government should start planning for the subsector bearing in mind the\r\nlikely scenarios. The study recommends that research into drought-resistant varieties,\r\ninvestment in extension and training, as well as investment in irrigation should be\r\nundertaken.', 'George Matiya, Rodney Lunduka and Margaret Sikwese (2011), Planning and costing agricultural adaptation to climate change in the small-scale maize production system of Malawi.', 'George Matiya, Rodney Lunduka and Margaret Sikwese, Planning and costing agricultural adaptation to climate change in the small-scale maize production system of Malawi(2011).', 'George Matiya, Rodney Lunduka and Margaret Sikwese (2011), Planning and costing agricultural adaptation to climate change in the small-scale maize production system of Malawi.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 5, 15, 3), (403, 'Genomics and Breeding for Climate- Resilient Crops Vol. 2 Target Traits', 'Chittaranjan Kole', '2013', 'Books', '', '33253', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Climate change is expected to enormously affect life on the Earth. It will cause\r\ndrastic changes in the environment and ecology and thus will severely impact\r\nagriculture. Therefore, it poses a serious challenge for global food security. It is\r\nexpected to cause drastic changes in agroclimatic conditions including temperature,\r\nrainfall, soil nutrients and health, and incidence of pathogens and pests leading to\r\nstriking reduction in crop yields due to global warming, water scarcity, changes of\r\nrainfall patterns resulting in increasingly frequent drought and flood, and other\r\nextreme weather events. Plant pathogens and pests may also evolve quickly with\r\nmore virulent pathotypes and biotypes and so may extend their geographical spread\r\nleading to epidemics and severity due to climate change. Furthermore, elevated\r\nCO2 levels will also reduce the nutritional quality of most crops and some crops\r\nmay even become more toxic due to changes in the chemical composition of their\r\ntissues. Climate change will also cause elevation of greenhouse gas emission. The\r\nmost grave and still unknown concern, however, involves the critical effects that\r\ninteractions among various biotic and abiotic excesses or paucities will have on\r\ncrops and cropping systems making the task of feeding a world population of nine\r\nbillion by 2050 extremely challenging.\r\nSeveral eminent scientists from different parts of the world are planning to put\r\nsignificant effort into combating or mitigating the threat to food security due to\r\nclimate change. We organized an international workshop on Climate Change\r\nduring the 20th International Conference on the Status of Plant and Animal Genome\r\nResearch (PAG conference) held during January 2012 in San Diego, California and\r\nestablished the International Climate Resilient Crop Genomics Consortium\r\n(ICRCGC) with a membership of over 30 active scientists from over ten countries\r\n(http://www.climatechangegenomics.org). Recently, many more scientists have\r\nbecome interested in this critical topic and we organized a special international\r\nworkshop on Genomics and Breeding of Climate-Resilient Crops for Future Food\r\nSecurity during the 6th International Crop Science Congress held during August\r\n6–10, 2012 in Bento Goncalves, Brazil followed by a brain-storming discussion\r\nto formulate the future strategies and work plans for combating climate change.\r\nWe recently organized another two workshops on this subject in January 2013 in San Diego, California during the 21st PAG conference. ICRCGC is now preparing a\r\nwhite paper for more serious and broad dialogs to initiate international and multidisciplinary\r\nefforts to combat climate change using genetic resources and advanced\r\ngenomics and breeding tools.\r\nThe central strategy of combating climate change will obviously involve the\r\ndevelopment of climate-resilient crop cultivars with broader genome plasticity\r\nallowing wider adaptability, broader genome elasticity with potential for high\r\nresponse to phenotypic, chemotypic, and molecular selection and above all durable\r\nand robust resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, genomics and breeding\r\nfor climate-resilient crops are relatively new fields of study and research and\r\ngiven the seriousness of the threats of climate change will obviously be included in\r\ncourse curricula in academic institutes and in frontier programs of agricultural\r\nresearch organizations at national and international levels. This topic is expected\r\nto be of increasing interest to policy-makers, social activists, and both public and\r\nprivate sector agencies supporting agricultural research. There are a few critical and\r\ncomprehensive reviews on this subject and a number of publications are also\r\navailable on the assessment of the impact of climate change on agriculture and\r\nsuggested strategies to circumvent the severe effects to ensure food security. These\r\ndeliberations are, however, scattered over the pages of newspapers, newsletters,\r\njournals, and web sites.

This implies that NAIVS is the only large-scale fertilizer subsidy program in Sub-Saharan African during the 2008-2014 period that managed to avoid ‘crowding-out’ of smallholder commercial fertilizer demand at a national level, on average. When we adjust the effect of household receipt of subsidized fertilizer on total smallholder fertilizer use (given that 25 to 37% of subsidized fertilizer was not actually used by intended recipients) the adjusted effect of an extra kilogram of subsidized fertilizer on total fertilizer use in 2012/13 (2008/09) was 0.827 kg (0.697 kg).\r\nKeywords: Africa, fertilizer subsidy, smallholder agriculture', 'David Mather and Isaac Minde (2016), Fertilizer subsidies and how targeting conditions crowding in/out: An assessment of smallholder fertilizer demand in Tanzania.', 'David Mather and Isaac Minde, Fertilizer subsidies and how targeting conditions crowding in/out: An assessment of smallholder fertilizer demand in Tanzania(2016).', 'David Mather and Isaac Minde (2016), Fertilizer subsidies and how targeting conditions crowding in/out: An assessment of smallholder fertilizer demand in Tanzania.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 10, 28, 3), (405, 'Household Food Security in Malawi: Measurements, Determinants, and Policy Review', 'Pilirani Pankomera, Nazaire Houssou, and Manfred Zeller', '2009', 'Public Reports', '', '23823', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'committed to halving its number of chronically undernourished people by 2015.

Food scarcity and hunger remain a challenge in the country\r\ndue to a combination of factors, including high population growth, small land size, substituting\r\ntobacco for maize production, recurring floods and drought, as well as poor targeting of\r\ndevelopment policies (Dorward et al., 2004; Harington, 2003; Quinn et al., 1990).

We distinguish between (i) exposure to climatic disruptions, (ii) bio-physical sensitivity to such disruptions, (iii) household adaptive capacity in terms of farmers’ ability to prepare and adjust to the resulting stress, and, finally, (iv) system-level adaptive capacity that serve as enabling factors for household-level adaptation. We employ a multivariate probit (MVP) and instrumental variable technique to model farming practice selection decisions and their yield impact estimates. We find that exposure to delayed onset of rainfall and greater climate variability as represented by the coefficient of variation of rainfall and temperature is positively associated with the choice of risk-reducing agricultural practices such as tree planting, legume intercropping, and soil and water conservation (SWC); however, it reduces the use of inputs (such as inorganic fertilizer) whose risk reduction benefits are uncertain. Biophysical sensitivity of plots increases the likelihood of choice of tree planting and SWC. In terms of household adaptive capacity, we find that wealthier households are more likely to adopt both modern and sustainable land management (SLM) inputs; and are more likely to adopt SLM inputs on plots under more secure tenure. In terms of system-level adaptive capacity, results show the key role of rural institutions, social capital and supply-side constraints in governing selection decisions for all practices considered, but particularly for tree planting and both organic and inorganic fertilizer. Finally for productivity, we find that on average use of both modern and SLM practices have positive and statistically significant impact on productivity of maize. For SLM practices that also respond to exposure and sensitivity, these results provide direct evidence of their potential to aide households in adapting to further climate change.

While there is an option of doing nothing in the wake of a shock, many also tend to use several coping strategies including informal insurance, savings, loans, receiving aid and remittances, reducing consumption, and liquidating assets to at least sustain their welfare levels prior to the shocks.\r\nIn this paper, we discuss the impact of improved access to micro-savings from formal financial institutions on the ability of rural households to manage shocks ex-post to their occurrence. We use a large panel data (interviewed in 2008 and again in 2010) gathered from 2,006 randomly selected households in Central Malawi on their use of financial services, shocks, and other household characteristics in an area that experienced the introduction of the Opportunity International Bank of Malawi (OIBM). OIBM is a savings- led bank that began its operation using a mobile bank – bank on wheels - in rural central Malawi in August of 2007 and in some respects tailored its savings products to households in rural areas.\r\nWe posit that improved access to formal savings services helps households cope with adverse shocks better, and by reducing their use of sub-optimal coping behaviors such as doing nothing, depleting productive assets, and reducing consumption levels. In other words, we expect that households with higher access to and use of formal micro-savings services would show higher ability to respond to adverse shocks, instead of doing nothing, and use better coping strategies than without it.\r\nSpecifically, we examine the following:\r\n Does improved access to and take- up of OIBM savings services help households reduce their use of sub-optimal coping behaviors?\r\n Do the impacts vary by the wealth status of the households and type of shocks experienced?\r\nFor this study, we define shocks as uncommon and mostly unexpected adverse events that strike a household without much warning. We consider common and fairly expected events such as births, weddings, school graduations, and events such as funerals, which are only unpredictable in terms of timing, to be life-cycle events and not shocks.

There is also a need for policy renewal in other international regimes that are central to adaptation, such as\r\nenvironment, human rights, development and trade.

The aim of the study was to investigate whether irrigation improved household food security. The study was qualitative in nature. Fifty-eight farmers and three World Vision field staff participated in the study. Group discussions with participatory techniques and in-depth interviews were used to collect data. Data were analysed qualitatively using matrix/logical analysis. Irrigation improved irrigating farmers’ household food security through an increase in production and income levels. Irrigating farmers were better off in terms of crop production and income levels than non-irrigating farmers. Irrigating farmers planted irrigated maize two to three times a year, while non-irrigating farmers planted rain-fed maize only once a year. In terms of income levels, irrigating farmers produced more food than households required, and sold surpluses. Most irrigating farmers began cash cropping after the introduction of irrigation and also earned higher incomes, as irrigation enabled production of crops during lean periods and enabled them to sell surpluses at higher prices. Irrigation did not improve crop diversification. Non-irrigating farmers diversified crops more than irrigating farmers by planting groundnuts and sweet potatoes. Income from irrigating farmers did not increase dietary diversity and the acquisition of assets for irrigating farmers. Few farmers consumed a variety of foods and few acquired assets with the income derived from irrigation. Nevertheless, irrigation has the potential to smooth production cycles and provide food and income during seasons when food and income would be low. In addition, the study revealed the following as problems faced by farmers: constraining size of small diesel pumps, pump breakdown at Kalizinje, floods, pests and diseases, storage problems, lack of market places and poor roads, small land sizes, and expensive farm inputs.\r\nThe above findings indicate the need for encouraging irrigating farmers to diversify crops; accommodate more people in the irrigation projects; and form groups to work together in achieving goals. World Vision Malawi should also provide pesticide loans and train farmers in technical and managerial skills; water and land management; financial management; nutrition skills and food storage. Provision of irrigation equipment and input loans or training farmers in alternative techniques for example organic farming that requires no or low inputs; introduction of subsidy programmes on inputs so as to enable farmers to buy inputs at affordable prices; construction of market places and good roads by government and concerned stakeholders are also necessary.', 'Edna Kalima (2008), A case study of the impact of irrigation on household food security in two villages in Chingale, Malawi.', 'Edna Kalima, A case study of the impact of irrigation on household food security in two villages in Chingale, Malawi(2008).', 'Edna Kalima (2008), A case study of the impact of irrigation on household food security in two villages in Chingale, Malawi.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 15, 32, 3), (420, 'Maize and Food Security: The case of Farm Input Subsidy Programme (FISP) in Malawi', 'Aoi Kato', '2018', 'Dissertations', '', '13299', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Malawi has been under chronic food insecurity for decades, and the government has continued to implement various policy to addresses the severity of food in-security in the country. However, since its inception in 2005, Farm Input Sub-sidy Program (FISP) remain the dominant policy in the discourse around agri-culture and food security. However, there have been an ongoing competing debate on failure and success FISP, and as result too controversial to be a model to recommend for other African countries that seek to increase crop productiv-ity and reduce food insecurity in their attempt to tackle poverty. With a different approach from previous study on policy evaluation of the impact of FISP on food security in Malawi, this study adopted the ‘What’s the Problem Represent to be?’ (WPR) approach to reveal how the policymakers conceptualised the problem of food insecurity and the hidden variables that shape the representa-tion of the food insecurity in policy response. Data collection rely mostly on secondary sources and some level of primary data to sources were also adopted. The findings of the study is that in Malawi, the meaning of food security is avail-ability of maize, therefore FISP was designed to address maize availability only. In Malawi, “maize is life” and maize is connected to everything even to elections and politics on the one hand. On the other hand, maize is also malnutrition because the Malawian diet lack nutritional balance diet due to excessive con-sumption of maize among the poor farmers. The conclusion is that going by food security in Malawi context, FISP is not doing badly but if we want to assess FISP with the four pillar of food security, it is not a model that is useful for other African countries to emulate in addressing food insecurity without careful anal-ysis.', 'Aoi Kato (2018), Maize and Food Security: The case of Farm Input Subsidy Programme (FISP) in Malawi.', 'Aoi Kato, Maize and Food Security: The case of Farm Input Subsidy Programme (FISP) in Malawi(2018).', 'Aoi Kato (2018), Maize and Food Security: The case of Farm Input Subsidy Programme (FISP) in Malawi.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 17, 26, 3), (421, 'Farm Productivity and Technical Efficiency of Rural Malawian Households: Does Gender Make a Difference?', 'Krishna H.

The objective is to better understand the various positive\r\nand negative spillover effects of the program, including direct and indirect production or income effects in\r\nthe agricultural sector and beyond, government financing implications, and the impacts on Malawi’s\r\nforeign exchange position. We calibrate a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with a recently\r\ndeveloped but backdated 2003/04 social accounting matrix (SAM) for Malawi—this represents a\r\n“normal” year prior to the first introduction of FISP in 2005/06—to evaluate the program impacts, using\r\nthe broad design elements of the 2006/07 program as basis for the policy shock. Focusing on the maize\r\ncomponent of FISP, this entails providing around 150,000 metric tons (mt) of fertilizer at a heavily\r\nsubsidized rate (about 72 percent of the cost is subsidized) as well as modern maize seed varieties to just\r\nover half of Malawian smallholders. The resulting intensification of the maize production system raises\r\nmaize production in our model by 14 percent and maize yields by more than 30 percent. We also find\r\ncrop diversification increases as some land formerly under maize cultivation is reallocated to other crops\r\nfollowing the increased production of maize. While returns to factor of production rise rapidly, the\r\nprogram contributes little to growth and national poverty declines marginally (i.e., by less than three\r\npercentage points) when overall program effects (including price and financing implications) are taken\r\ninto account.\r\nWhile many analysts have remained positive about FISP despite its cost, the Malawian\r\ngovernment has in recent years faced a particular challenge of maintaining the program during what has\r\nproven to be one of the most challenging economic periods in the past two decades. Shortly after the\r\nfertilizer price shock in 2008/09, which caused program costs to skyrocket, a series of external shocks—\r\nmost notably a sharp decline in tobacco prices—placed tremendous pressure on the country’s balance of\r\npayments position. Government was able to contain program costs by maintaining a fixed exchange rate,\r\nbut the dwindling foreign exchange reserves eventually meant that policy position became untenable by\r\nearly 2012. The sharp devaluation that followed will have a dramatic effect on program costs in the\r\n2012/13 implementation period. Our analysis therefore also considers implications of external shocks\r\n(fuel, fertilizer, and tobacco prices) and the exchange rate regime on FISP costs and effectiveness. The\r\nsubstantial cost of the program has always meant the benefits of the program have been closely\r\nmonitored. Other socio-economic policies with similar objectives are also frequently offered as\r\nalternatives; hence, a final contribution of the paper is to consider the effects of targeted and universal\r\nsocial cash transfer programs. We find that while a cash transfer with a similar budget may be more\r\neffective at reducing poverty, it does not promote value addition and food production in the way that FISP\r\ndoes. Ideally, therefore, FISP and cash transfers should be been seen as complementary rather than\r\ncompeting, with the former targeting cash-constrained poor farmers with the potential to significantly\r\nincrease staple food production and the latter to the poorest labour constrained households with little or no\r\nland.\r\nKeywords: Agricultural input subsidies; general equilibrium models; Malawi; social cash transfers', 'Mathilde Douillet, Karl Pauw and James Thurlow (2012), Macro evaluation of program impacts and risks: The case of Malawi’s Farm Input Subsidy Program (FISP).', 'Mathilde Douillet, Karl Pauw and James Thurlow, Macro evaluation of program impacts and risks: The case of Malawi’s Farm Input Subsidy Program (FISP)(2012).', 'Mathilde Douillet, Karl Pauw and James Thurlow (2012), Macro evaluation of program impacts and risks: The case of Malawi’s Farm Input Subsidy Program (FISP).', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 5, 21, 3), (425, 'Linking Food Security with Household’s Adaptive Capacity and Drought Risk: Implications for Sustainable Rural Development', 'Anu Susan Sam, Azhar Abbas, Subash Surendran Padmaja, Harald Kaechele Ranjit Kumar, and Klaus Müller', '2018', 'Journals', '', '18859', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'In spite of green revolution and rapid economic growth, India’s vast population\r\nstill suffers from hunger and poverty, especially in the rural areas.

The findings suggest that the nature of the subsidy and the way the programme is organised and implemented has not really benefited the smallholder farmers in terms of increased maize productivity, income from the sales of maize and household food security. While the prices of maize have usually been low in Zambia, the prices of fertiliser have been high. This reduces the profitability of maize production. To most smallholders, maize production is main source of income, yet the fertiliser subsidy in its current form assumes that the smallholders will have the cash to pay for fertiliser subsidy, when income from maize is not always possible. The FSP is also implemented as a uniform policy in a varied setting as depicted in the contrasting differences between Kalomo district and Senanga district. This study concludes that nature of the fertiliser subsidy policy, how it is designed, defined and implemented has implications for impact in terms of increasing maize production, among smallholder farmers.\r\nRelevance to Development Studies\r\nThis study contributes to the sparse literature on the changing role of fertiliser subsidies in the developing countries. The study provides valuable information and knowledge on the short comings of the nature of the fertiliser subsidy being implementation under the FSP in Zambia. This study shows how the targeting criteria and implementation of a fertiliser subsidy programme affects the overall performance. This study provides policy-relevant information on a topical but largely ignored issue in current development debates.\r\nKeywords\r\nFertiliser Subsidies, Food Security, Smallholder Farmers Targeting,', 'LUMBA SIYANGA (2009), Do Fertiliser Subsidies Work for the poor?:Evidence and Challenges of Implementing the Fertiliser Support Programme in Zambia- The Case of Kalomo and Senanga Districts..', 'LUMBA SIYANGA, Do Fertiliser Subsidies Work for the poor?:Evidence and Challenges of Implementing the Fertiliser Support Programme in Zambia- The Case of Kalomo and Senanga Districts.(2009).', 'LUMBA SIYANGA (2009), Do Fertiliser Subsidies Work for the poor?:Evidence and Challenges of Implementing the Fertiliser Support Programme in Zambia- The Case of Kalomo and Senanga Districts..', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 15, 31, 3), (427, 'An assessment of the effect of subsidized fertilizer on farmer participation in commercial fertilizer markets in north rift region of Kenya', 'Joyce Mumbua Makau', '2016', 'Dissertations', '', '56964', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', '', 'Joyce Mumbua Makau (2016), An assessment of the effect of subsidized fertilizer on farmer participation in commercial fertilizer markets in north rift region of Kenya.', 'Joyce Mumbua Makau, An assessment of the effect of subsidized fertilizer on farmer participation in commercial fertilizer markets in north rift region of Kenya(2016).', 'Joyce Mumbua Makau (2016), An assessment of the effect of subsidized fertilizer on farmer participation in commercial fertilizer markets in north rift region of Kenya.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 18, 37, 3), (428, 'Is cash transfer a better devil than food aid?

Since then,\r\ncash transfers have been used as a standalone response tool to disasters, or used in\r\ncombination with food aid. Malawi piloted the use of cash transfer as a response tool\r\nto food insecurity between 2005 and 2008. The first national response that used\r\ncash to respond to food insecurity at a large scale was carried out in 2012/2013, and\r\nthen in 2013/2014. The purpose of this study was to assess how effective the use of\r\ncash transfers was as a response tool to the humanitarian situation in Malawi. The\r\nstudy was carried out through household interviews, focus group discussions, key\r\ninformant interviews as well as review of previous evaluations and studies on cash\r\ntransfers in Malawi and other countries.\r\nMalawi has used cash transfers as a response tool on a large scale for 2\r\nconsecutive years. Ideally, the expectation would be that lessons learnt during the\r\nfirst year and those gathered from previous pilot programmes would assist in\r\nimproving future programmes. However, most of the challenges noted in 2012/2013\r\nresponse, some of which were highlighted in external programme evaluations, were\r\nrepeated in the 2013/2014 programme. This challenge cannot be attributed to the\r\ncash transfer response programme alone. Even in provision of food aid, similar\r\nchallenges have been observed and continue to appear in almost every other\r\nresponse. In some cases, vulnerable households, who are supposed to be benefiting\r\nfrom the response programmes, have been the victims.\r\nFindings of this study do not show that cash should substitute food as a\r\nresponse tool; neither does it find that cash is always the best option. Just like food\r\naid, cash transfers too have their own shortfalls. Although cash transfers, on a larger\r\nscale, offer more benefits than food aid, it should not be considered as a panacea,\r\nand its implementation should be considered carefully and be promoted if backed by\r\nreliable market assessments and other considerations, and should also include closer\r\nmonitoring of market behaviours during programme implementation.\r\nCoordination systems, with appropriate checks and balances and strong\r\ngovernment’s monitoring, ought to be improved. For effective use of cash transfers,\r\nappropriate systems need to be in place that would support such a response.\r\nChallenges being experienced should be used to improve programme design and\r\nimplementation. The trend at the global level clearly shows that cash transfers are\r\nhere to stay as a response tool to disasters. Efforts should be made to capitalize on\r\nthis and develop clear guidelines for the implementation of cash transfers in\r\nhumanitarian situations in the country.\r\nThe study, however, does find that when planned and implemented properly,\r\ncash would, overall, be a better devil than food aid.', 'Stern Kita (2014), Is cash transfer a better devil than food aid?

Data used in the analysis were collected from 412 households – 169 participants in the irrigation scheme and 243 non-participants. Due to the non-random selection of participants into the irrigation scheme, the study used endogenous switching regression to correct for sample selection bias. Propensity score matching was then used to measure the impact of irrigation on food security and poverty. Daily per capita caloric intake and agricultural income were the proxy measures used to measure food security and poverty, respectively. Despite farm-ers selling paddy rice at the farm gate on an individual basis and operating in an environment with inadequate water sup-ply, the findings revealed that irrigation had a positive impact on annual agricultural income and daily per capita caloric intake. The impact of irrigation on household annual agricultural income was different among the participants, with those cultivating both rice and maize under irrigation earning more agricultural income than their counterparts growing rice only. The results also showed a positive impact of irrigation on daily per capita caloric intake, with both groups of irrigat-ing farmers realizing similar improved levels of caloric intake over farmers that did not participate in the irrigation scheme. In addition, traditionally marginalized groups – households headed by youth, female-headed households, and low-in-come households – earned more agricultural income than what they would have earned if they did not participate in the irrigation scheme. The recommendations from the study are that irrigation interventions should be up scaled to other ar-eas with potential irrigable land and should promote the growing of more than one crop. In addition, irrigation schemes should promote bulk marketing of processed rice through contract relationships with institutions (i.e. schools, prisons, hospitals) and private traders.', 'Rudolf Nkhata (2014), Does irrigation have an impact on food security and poverty?

After briefly reviewing current national and sectoral policy and potential roles of smallholder agriculture in economic growth, we set out the current situation in order to consider strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.\r\nWe conclude that a major emphasis is needed on supporting changes that reduce the rate of population growth and promote capacity for adaptation and resilience to climate change. Rapid increases in the productivity of agricultural land and labor and in rural incomes will be critical to this, alongside increased education and empowerment of girls and women. There are, however, difficult potential trade-offs to negotiate (for example, between increased irrigation and reduced inflows into Lake Malawi) and these need further consideration.\r\nFrom this analysis we derive a set of nine strategic principles and two operational principles, for eleven in total, that we suggest could helpfully stimulate and guide strategy development to address the opportunities and threats facing Malawian agriculture, as follows:\r\nStrategic principles:\r\n1. Sustainable investments and activities that are viable for and acceptable to all stakeholders.\r\n2. Emphasis on land and wider labor productivity\r\n3. Integration of complementary agricultural and non-agricultural strategies, policies, and investments.\r\n4. Emphasis on broad-based and inclusive growth.\r\n5. Emphasis on increased quality and diversity in food production.\r\n6. Emphasis on market access and affordability of food for all, particularly for the rural and urban poor.\r\n7. Promotion of sustainable practices with accumulation, rather than depletion, of natural resources, taking account of both current and future threats to sustainability.\r\n8. Rapid achievement of broad-based growth as a significant element in reducing the rate of population growth and in supporting climate change adaptation and resilience.\r\n9. Pursuit of agro-processing opportunities to promote value addition with local downstream linkages.\r\nOperational principles:\r\n10. Consistent coordinated vision.\r\n11. Clear priorities and roles.\r\nThe application of these principles is illustrated by indicative consideration of policy and investment options focus-ing on the development of different commodities and broadly-defined resources.

The sector is largely dominated by smallholder farmers and is a major source of livelihood in the country (World Bank, 2006). Available statistics indicate that agriculture contributes 25 percent to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employs 80 percent of the total labor force (African Development Bank, 2008). Development in the agricultural sector in Mozambique has evolved since colonial times to date due to different reasons. The main objective of the Portuguese colonialists was to increase the supply of raw materials to their country and hence targeted the needed investments in Mozambique. The sector was dependent on Portugal for skilled labor supply and suffered brain drain when these Portuguese returned home after independence in 1975 (Howard et al, 1998). Soon after independence, the abandoned Portuguese properties were taken over by the government which formed large centralized state farms. The greater part of government investment in agriculture between 1978 and 1982 was channeled towards input purchases for these farms (Population Project, 2001). During the same period, marketing and trade of crops was done by parastatal monopolies but private traders were still allowed to operate in certain areas provided they had been granted monopoly rights. Market margins were however regulated by the government through the Ministry of Internal Commerce (Kyle, 1999). The civil war which started in 1977 and ended with a peace accord signed in 1992, had a notable impact on the agricultural sector (Skelton et al, 2003). The war resulted in widespread destruction of infrastructure which affected both the factor and product markets. During this period, economic growth and food production dropped significantly. Between 1981 and 1986 for example, Howard et al (1998) reported that GDP and food production fell by 30 percent, marketed production of maize and rice declined by half and exports declined by 75 percent. The country became almost entirely dependent on food aid because food production levels were not sufficient to satisfy demand. The end of the war overlapped with the beginning of the drought hence there was no time for any recovery measures to be implemented in the agricultural sector. During the war and drought period, food aid constituted a considerable portion of total cereal available in the country. Between 1992 and 1993 yellow maize food aid accounted for 60 percent of cereals but the figure dropped to 15 percent between 1994 and 1995 as a result of increased domestic production of white maize (Donovan, 1996).', 'Kizito Mazvimavi, Isaac Minde, Sofia Manussa, Patience Tshuma and Conrad Murendo (2011), A REVIEW OF THE AGRICULTURAL INPUT AND OUTPUT MARKETS DEVELOPMENT IN MOZAMBIQUE.', 'Kizito Mazvimavi, Isaac Minde, Sofia Manussa, Patience Tshuma and Conrad Murendo, A REVIEW OF THE AGRICULTURAL INPUT AND OUTPUT MARKETS DEVELOPMENT IN MOZAMBIQUE(2011).', 'Kizito Mazvimavi, Isaac Minde, Sofia Manussa, Patience Tshuma and Conrad Murendo (2011), A REVIEW OF THE AGRICULTURAL INPUT AND OUTPUT MARKETS DEVELOPMENT IN MOZAMBIQUE.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 5, 8, 3), (433, 'MICROECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF POLICIES ADDRESSING FOOD SECURITY, WATER AND ENERGY TRADE-OFFS IN MALAWI', 'Emily McNulty', '2017', 'Dissertations', '', '32276', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'The increasing pressure from the world’s population on limited natural resources has reached an urgent level. The global demand for water, food, and energy is unsustainable, and poses a threat to human health, political stability, and environmental well-being. The poor in developing countries are most vulnerable to the negative effects of the exploitation of constrained resources, and the segregation of development programs by sector means that policy interventions do little to help. Currently, development policies are created in isolation from one another, within their own sectoral realms, and inter-sector coordination is rare. Policy interventions that affect more than one sector are key to holistic, sustainable development, but because they face an ownership issue, not falling under any one sector’s jurisdiction, they often go unaddressed. The alternative to the status quo is the use of a nexus perspective, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of sectors and seeks to implement policy interventions with the best net outcomes. Policy makers are encouraged to adopt “systems thinking”, to resist over-focused investments and interventions, and to seek regulatory cooperation.\r\nThe body of nexus literature is growing mainly with the establishment of theoretical frameworks and macroeconomic studies that model outcomes of nexus interventions. This thesis contributes to the pool of nexus literature with microeconomic studies that are evaluated from the perspective of the food-energy-water (FEW) nexus.

Legume diversification of maize-based systems is a core example of sustainable intensification, with the food\r\nsecurity of millions of farm families at stake. This study highlights the constraints and opportunities associated with the\r\nadoption of legumes by smallholder farmers in southern Africa. A two-part survey of households and farm fields (n=88)\r\nwas conducted in the Ekwendeni watershed of northern Malawi. Participatory research and education activities have\r\nbeen underway for over a decade in this region, resulting in expanded uptake of a range of legume species as intercrops\r\nand in rotation with the staple maize crop. Farmer adoption has occurred to a varying extent for soybean (Glycine max),\r\npigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens) and fish bean (Tephrosia vogelii). Farmers, working with the\r\nproject valued pigeon pea and other legumes for soil fertility purposes to a greater extent than farmers not working with\r\nthe project. Legumes were valued for a wide range of purposes beyond soil cover and fertility enhancement, notably for\r\ninfant nutrition (at least for soybean), insect control, and vegetable and grain production for both market and home\r\nconsumption. Literature values for BNF in tropical legumes range up to 170kgNha−1 for grain and 300kgNha−1 for\r\ngreen manure species; however, our field interviews illustrated the extent of constraints imposed by soil properties on\r\nsmallholder fields in Malawi. The key edaphic constraints observed were very deficient to moderate phosphorus levels\r\n(range 4–142, average 33mgkg−1), and moderately acid soils (range pH 5.1–7.9, average 6.2). The per farm hectarage\r\ndevoted to legume production relative to maize production was also low (0.15 versus 0.35 ha), a surprising find in an area\r\nwith demonstrated interest in novel legume species. Further, farmers showed a strong preference for legumes that\r\nproduced edible grain, regardless of the associated nutrient removal in the harvested grain, and did not sow large areas to\r\nlegume crops. These farm-level decisions act as constraints to BNF inputs in maize-based smallholder cropping systems.\r\nOverall, we found that legume productivity could be enhanced. We documented the value of policies and educational\r\nefforts that support farmers gaining access to high-quality seeds, amendments for phosphorus-deficient soils, and\r\npromotion of multipurpose legumes that build soils through leafy residues and roots, as well as providing grain for food\r\nsecurity and sales.\r\nKey words: integrated soil fertility management, smallholder farmer, sustainable intensification', 'Wezi G.

The study employed only quantitative research data collection. Data collection was through a random sample of 175 respondents in five localities in Sekhukhune district. A structured questionnaire was administered through face-to-face interviews. The study utilized the sustainable livelihoods framework to explore the smallholder agriculture and food security nexus.\r\nA logit regression model estimated the socio-economic factors affecting household involvement in agriculture.

Rainfall is erratic and persistent droughts have over time eroded\r\nthe capacity of poor households to produce enough food or earn sufficient income to\r\npurchase from the market. On average, over the last decade, the country has only\r\nmanaged to produce enough staple food to feed its population once in every three years.\r\nFood shortages at both the national and household levels have of late been exacerbated by\r\nmacro-economic instability and a general stagnation of the economy. The country in the\r\nrecent past relied on food imports and food aid. Currently about 10% of Malawians are\r\nchronically food insecure and are in need of long-term safety nets to sustain their\r\nlivelihoods.\r\nAlthough the country is endowed with a good supply of labour for agriculture, yields are\r\nlow even in good rainfall years.1 Many farmers fail to access critical inputs such as\r\nimproved seed and fertilisers due to lack of capital and access to credit. When available,\r\nfertilisers are expensive due to the high freight costs. This has often persuaded the\r\ngovernment to subsidise and target the input, although at high cost to the government’s\r\nfiscal budget. A combination of growing population pressure and limited use of soil\r\nfertility management practices has resulted in perpetual land degradation, which\r\nmanifests itself in declining soil fertility and therefore low yields. About 60% of\r\nhouseholds in Malawi cultivate less than one hectare of land with 25% having access to\r\nless than half a hectare. Only about 15% of smallholder farmers produce marketable\r\nsurpluses. About 55% of households cannot generate any income through farming. Thus\r\nthey offer their labour for cultivation of other farms on the basis of a daily wage, which\r\nearns a meagre income.

As such, the country’s\r\neconomy, prosperity and the well being of its people are highly vulnerable to climate change\r\nand climate variability. In the light of the above, it is imperative that appropriate measures\r\nand strategies are taken into account to ensure accurate predictions of weather and climaterelated\r\nchanges and their associated adverse impacts on sectors of economic growth and\r\nvulnerable communities. We are fully aware that establishing the required management and\r\nresponse strategies is a daunting task because local weather changes and variability are\r\nembedded in global climate systems that transcend national boundaries. However, we take\r\nconsolation in the realization that opportunities for managing and mitigating the adverse\r\nimpacts of climate change are global endeavors, whose goals are ensuring a future that\r\npreserves the health and prosperity of the local and global communities, and that many\r\ncountries in the world to day strongly support efforts to combat global warming. It is in this\r\nregard that the Government and the people of Malawi wish to reaffirm their commitment to\r\nenvironmental protection in general, and climate change in particular, by preparing the\r\nSecond National Communication (SNC) of Malawi document.\r\nIn June 1992, Malawi signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change\r\n(UNFCCC). The Convention entered into force on 21st April 1994, and Malawi ratified the\r\nConvention in April 1994, and became a party to it on 21st July 1994. In 1999, Malawi\r\nreceived funding from Global Environmental Facility (GEF) to prepare its Initial National\r\nCommunication (INC) under the “Climate Change Enabling Activities Project”. The\r\npreparation and production of the INC in 2003, and that of the National Adaptation\r\nProgrammes of Action (NAPA) in 2006, marked important and significant milestones in\r\nMalawi’s quest to address the adverse impacts of climate change on sectors of economic\r\ngrowth and vulnerable communities. The preparation of these documents facilitated\r\ninstitutional capacity building in the country, and also enabled local experts to acquire the\r\nrequisite skills for modeling climate change capabilities. This led to the building of strong\r\ntechnical teams of local Malawians who prepared various thematic technical reports that\r\nappear in both the Initial National Communication (INC) and the National Adaptation\r\nProgrammes of Action (NAPA).\r\nThis document takes stock of the efforts Government and its developmental partners have\r\nmade in order to address issues of climate change highlighted in the Initial National\r\nCommunication. It fills gaps that were identified in the Initial National Communication, and\r\nhighlights opportunities which our country needs to embrace in order to protect the\r\nenvironment and vulnerable communities against the adverse impacts of climate change.\r\nThe Second National Communication of Malawi gives information on: (i) national\r\ncircumstances, (ii) greenhouse gases inventory for the period 1995-2000, (iii) programmes\r\ncontaining measures to facilitate adaptation to climate change ((V&A assessments), (iv)\r\nprogrammes containing measures to mitigate climate change, (v) other information\r\nconsidered relevant to the achievement of the objective of the Convention, (vii) constraints and gaps, and related financial, technical and capacity needs, and (viii) proposed climate\r\nchange projects.\r\nI wish to express my heartfelt gratitude, and that of the Government and people of Malawi,\r\nto all those who have generously contributed in various ways in the production of this\r\nSecond National Communication.

The research methodology was undertaken in two stages; firstly, a literature review was undertaken in order to provide a theoretical perspective on household food security. Secondly, an empirical study comprising of a household survey was undertaken. The household survey was conducted among 225 participants of Kwakwatsi Township in the Free State province (South Africa). Data was collected using a self-administrated-questionnaire.\r\nThe attainment of household food security is a major concern facing the world at large, including South Africa. South Africa is classified as a middle income country with large inequalities and absolute poverty. Although South Africa is nationally self-sufficient in food supply, many households are vulnerable to food insecurity. Natural disasters, population growth, low agricultural development, food prices, income inequalities, poverty and health issues are the main causes of household food insecurity in the world.\r\nThe method of data analysis was two-fold: firstly, the Household Food Insecurity Access scale (HFIAS) developed by the USAID was used to determine the food security status of households in Kwakwatsi. Secondly, a logit regression model was used to estimate the socio-economic and demographic variables that determine the food security status of households. According to the HFIAS classification measure, approximately 51.1% of households were categorised as food secure, 8.9% as mildly food insecure and 10.7% as moderately food insecure and 29.3% as severely food insecure. Food insecurity was mostly associated with female-headed households than male-headed households.\r\nThe results of the regression analysis suggest that gender, household size, marital status and household income influence household food security. The probability of food security decreases if household is headed by a female. Larger household sizes experience less food security because they consume more food with fewer resources. Households headed by people who are not married have a higher chance of being food secure than those of married couples, this is because married couples have larger household sizes compared to unmarried household heads. Household income was the most significant predictor of household food security and was found to be positively related to household food security.\r\nThe study recommends that agricultural education be promoted in the study area to encourage people to engage in farming/gardening as a source of generating extra income, especially in female-headed households.', 'FUMANE PONTSO NDOBO (2013), DETERMINING THE FOOD SECURITY STATUS OF HOUSEHOLDS IN A SOUTH AFICAN TOWNSHIP.', 'FUMANE PONTSO NDOBO, DETERMINING THE FOOD SECURITY STATUS OF HOUSEHOLDS IN A SOUTH AFICAN TOWNSHIP(2013).', 'FUMANE PONTSO NDOBO (2013), DETERMINING THE FOOD SECURITY STATUS OF HOUSEHOLDS IN A SOUTH AFICAN TOWNSHIP.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 22, 77, 3), (453, 'New variant famine: AIDS and food crisis in southern Africa', 'Alex de Waal, Alan Whiteside', '2003', 'Journals', '', '64523', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Southern Africa is undergoing a food crisis of surprising scale and novelty.

It has recorded steady increases in the last decade. While Rwanda is classified as food secure at macro level, about half of the households in Rwanda still face seasonal difficulties in accessing adequate food, meaning that they are at high risk of becoming food insecure in terms of food availability and accessibility. Most of the households at risk are typically rural households who mainly depend on agricultural daily labour for their livelihoods and mostly live on their own farm production. The objective of this study was to investigate the Socio-economic determinants of food security among the mixed smallholder farmers in Burera district of Rwanda. Data were collected from 378 smallholder farmers ’households selected by using a Multi-Stage Random Sampling technique. Household food security status was assessed and categorized using internationally validated HFIAS tool. To analyse the effect of socio-economic determinants of household food security status of the sampled smallholder farmers, Multinomial Logit Model was used. The results revealed that only 6.3% of the sampled smallholder farmers’ households could be classified as food secure, 15.6% of the households were found to be mildly food insecure, while 34.7% were moderately food insecure and 43.4% were found to be severely food insecure, which implies that a majority of the smallholder farmers in the study area live in food insecurity situation. The study also revealed that 77.7% of the respondents were operating on farm size less than one hectare. About 54.2% of the respondent households had at least one medium to large livestock (cow, goat, sheep or pig) that helped them to produce organic manure, with only 15.87% having cows in their households. The study revealed that 42.9% of the respondents earned on farm income range of 200,000-300,000Frw. About 72% of the respondents did not have access to financial facility while 92% of the respondents did not receive any training in agricultural practices or a home visit from an extension agent within the previous one-year period. Only 25% of the respondents had ever used mineral fertilizers in the previous two agricultural seasons. The Multinomial Logit model odds ratios revealed that farm size, on-farm income and gender (women headed households) were found to influence positively the probability of a household to be in the category of food secure or better off food insecurity level (mild or moderate) when compared to severe food insecurity status. On the other hand, family size, poor access to financial facilities, agricultural trainings and extension services, as well as low education level of the household head had a negative effect on the probability of a household to be in better off category of food security status when compared to the severe food insecurity. Based on the findings, the study recommends to strengthen the implementation of the land use consolidation policy among the smallholder farmers, which would ease efficient exploitation of consolidate land capital units as well as easy access to subsidized fertilizers and agricultural extension assistance. The study further recommends policy actions aimed at more income generation and optimal exploitation of the available surplus labour among the smallholder farmers. This could be through development of rural based agro-processing enterprises. Efforts to increase awareness on women empowerment and financial literacy among the smallholder farmers are also recommended.\r\nKeywords: Food security, HFIAS, smallholder farmers, Multinomial logit model, Rwanda.', 'VINCENT NSABUWERA (2018), SOCIAL-ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF FOOD SECURITY AMONG SMALLHOLDER FARMERS IN BURERA DISTRICT, RWANDA.', 'VINCENT NSABUWERA, SOCIAL-ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF FOOD SECURITY AMONG SMALLHOLDER FARMERS IN BURERA DISTRICT, RWANDA(2018).', 'VINCENT NSABUWERA (2018), SOCIAL-ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF FOOD SECURITY AMONG SMALLHOLDER FARMERS IN BURERA DISTRICT, RWANDA.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 17, 57, 3), (458, ' Food security: reviving agricultural production or ensuring social welfare?

The FTF strategy recognizes\r\nthat agricultural growth must be inclusive to\r\nachieve poverty reduction and improved food\r\nsecurity and nutrition outcomes.\r\nSmallholder-led structural transformation is\r\nconsidered by most development economists\r\nto be the major pathway from a semisubsistence\r\nagrarian society to a more\r\nprosperous, food secure, and diversified\r\neconomy. Johnston and Kilby (1975) and\r\nMellor (1976) first documented the structural\r\ntransformation process in the regions of Asia\r\nwhere the Green Revolution later bloomed.\r\nThe structural transformation process starts\r\nwith broad-based agricultural growth, causing\r\na build-up of purchasing power by millions of\r\nsmall farmers. These millions of farmers\r\nsubsequently spend and re-cycle more money\r\nthrough the economy, igniting demand and\r\nemployment growth in non-farm sectors,\r\nwhich in turn increases the demand for food\r\nand other farm products in a virtuous cycle in\r\nwhich the rural and urban labor forces provide\r\na market for each other. As the demand for\r\nfood and fiber products grows, private\r\ninvestment flows into the storage, transport,\r\nprocessing, and retailing stages of commodity\r\nvalue chains, further expanding employment\r\nand diversifying the economy. Over time,\r\nbroad-based income growth causes the share\r\nof food in overall consumption to fall, leaving\r\nincreased disposable income to fuel the\r\ndevelopment of non-farm sectors. As the\r\ndemand for non-farm goods and services rise,\r\nthe labor force responds by shifting gradually\r\nfrom the farm to non-farm sectors, the demand\r\nfor education and job skills rises, and the\r\neconomy becomes increasingly diversified and\r\nurban. Rural households are pulled off the\r\nfarm into viable non-farm activities, not\r\npushed into low-paying desperation jobs in the\r\ntowns due to poor prospects in agriculture.\r\nThe starting point of structural transformation\r\nis broad-based smallholder-led agricultural\r\ngrowth and commercialization. Mellor,\r\nJohnston and others clearly documented that\r\n“inclusive agricultural development” in Green\r\nRevolution Asia was crucial to structural\r\ntransformation and poverty reduction. They\r\ncontrasted the Asian experience with parts of\r\nLatin America, which also achieved\r\nagricultural growth, but not in an inclusive\r\nway. Latifundia estates expanded production\r\nimpressively in many cases while millions of\r\nsmall peasant farms remained mired in\r\npoverty. A major lesson for Africa from these\r\ncontrasting experiences of smallholder-led\r\nAsia and estate-led Latin America is that if we\r\nwant growth to be inclusive it must address\r\nissues of rural poverty. And if we want\r\nagricultural growth to reduce poverty, it must\r\nbe inclusive.

One of the main problems in this region seems to be salt related problems. Particularly high concentrations of sodium and chloride have been reported for the groundwater in Lover Shire Valley, both as a result of evaporation and dissolution of evaporite minerals. High salinity is problematic because alternative water sources are not readily available. Soil erosion in Malawi is one of the major types of land degradation that poses the biggest threat to sustainable agriculture. Climate change is affecting the water sources in Malawi. With increased frequency and magnitude of floods, groundwater recharge may increase. This is particular a case in semi-arid and arid areas like Lower Shire region, where heavy rainfall and floods are the major sources of groundwater recharge. This paper demonstrates that there are several challenges in the Lower Shire region that require attention.

Data used in the analysis were collected from 412 households – 169 participants in the irrigation scheme and 243 non-participants. Due to the non-random selection of participants into the irrigation scheme, the study used endogenous switching regression to correct for sample selection bias. Propensity score matching was then used to measure the impact of irrigation on food security and poverty. Daily per capita caloric intake and agricultural income were the proxy measures used to measure food security and poverty, respectively. Despite farm-ers selling paddy rice at the farm gate on an individual basis and operating in an environment with inadequate water sup-ply, the findings revealed that irrigation had a positive impact on annual agricultural income and daily per capita caloric intake. The impact of irrigation on household annual agricultural income was different among the participants, with those cultivating both rice and maize under irrigation earning more agricultural income than their counterparts growing rice only. The results also showed a positive impact of irrigation on daily per capita caloric intake, with both groups of irrigat-ing farmers realizing similar improved levels of caloric intake over farmers that did not participate in the irrigation scheme. In addition, traditionally marginalized groups – households headed by youth, female-headed households, and low-in-come households – earned more agricultural income than what they would have earned if they did not participate in the irrigation scheme. The recommendations from the study are that irrigation interventions should be up scaled to other ar-eas with potential irrigable land and should promote the growing of more than one crop. In addition, irrigation schemes should promote bulk marketing of processed rice through contract relationships with institutions (i.e. schools, prisons, hospitals) and private traders.', 'Rudolf Nkhata, Charles Jumbe, and Mannex Mwabumba (2014), Does irrigation have an impact on food security and poverty?

Climate models predict further changes in precipitation and temperature over Malawi in the future. However, most studies to understand the impacts of climate change in Malawi have focused on ex post assessments of weather events. Planning for future adaptations by Malawian farmers to a changed climate will require acknowledging that future climate patterns may deviate significantly from historical climate patterns. Little research has been done to assess ex ante (future) climate change and its potential impacts on and implications for farmer productivity, incomes, and poverty. This study investigates possible climate change patterns over the period 2040 to 2070 in order to assess the potential economic impacts for crop-livestock integrating and non-integrating farmers in Mzimba district in northern Malawi. Thirty year historical climate data were used with 20 Global Circulation Models (GCM) to generate plausible future climates. Future maize yields then were simulated using the APSIM crop model. The Trade-Off Analysis model for Multi-Dimensional Impact Assessment (TOA-MD) framework was used with the crop model results for economic analysis.\r\nResults indicate that over the period 2040 to 2070 Mzimba district, relative to the present, will be warmer by be-tween 1°C and 3°C and slightly drier by 1.1 percent, but with considerable uncertainty in the GCM models. Maize produc-tivity is expected to increase by between 10 and 15 percent. On aggregate, 56 percent of farmers will register productivity gains – 55 percent of crop-livestock integrating farmers and 57 percent of non-integrating farmers. Mean net returns per hectare are expected to be higher among integrating farmers. Incomes per capita are predicted to increase by 5.2 percent – by 5.3 percent among integrating and by 5.1 percent among non-integrating farmers. Income-based poverty is predicted to decline by 4 percent – by 6 percent among integrating and by 2 percent among non-integrating farmers.

While sacrosanct, this growing focus has somewhat obscured the effect of other factors which do affect malnutrition in the Sub-Saharan Africa context, i.e. the long term impact of agricultural policies, huge and persistent seasonal variation in domestic food prices, and the impact of famines which still regularly stalk the continent. This paper focuses on the relative weight of these factors in explaining child malnutrition (proxied by the number of child admissions to feeding centers) in Malawi and Niger, two prototypical countries in the region. The analysis shows that the drivers of domestic food staple prices and of the ensuing child malnutrition have to be found not only – or not primarily – in the changes of international food prices but mainly in the impact of agricultural policies on food production, the persistence of a strong food price seasonality, and recurrent and often poorly attended famines. Indeed, even during years of declines in international food prices, these factors often exert a huge upward pressures on domestic food prices and child malnutrition.

Malawi is no different, with significant government intervention in the maize market on both the production and marketing sides. Interventions include providing farm input subsidies and recommending minimum farm gate prices to encourage maize production; supporting a grain marketing board and a national food reserve agency to stabilize maize prices and provide emergency food assistance; and controlling international maize trade, mainly through restrictions on maize exports. This note explores the effects of government intervention in Malawi’s maize market, and proposes medium- to long-term policy guidelines that will improve the functioning of these interventions.

Theriault', '2019', 'Public Reports', '', '58902', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Both supply and demand constraints have long hindered the emergence of viable fertilizer markets in Sub-Saharan Africa. Since nearly all fertilizer is imported, the cost of fertilizer is dependent on transport costs, and landlocked countries such as Mali are particularly disadvantaged with respect to this bulky input. Transport and logistics costs in Africa have been found to be three to four times higher than they are in the US, explaining the fact that in general farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa pay at least double the price for fertilizer relative to farmers in Asia and the US (Heisey and Norton, 2007; Morris et al., 2007). The marked seasonality of demand for fertilizer in rainfed systems and the bulkiness of the product lead to relatively slow stock turnover, considerable storage requirements, and high finance charges, resulting in risk for distributors and dealers. On the demand side, high cost, combined with low agronomic efficiency, has made the use of inorganic fertilizers unprofitable for many farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa. Much greater agronomic efficiency in fertilizer use is likely to be necessary in order to generate the incentives for sustainable increases in fertilizer demand. This problem is indicated by relatively low response rates to fertilizer estimated for maize across the continent (e.g., summary in Jayne et al. 2018 for maize in Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Ghana, Zambia and Ethiopia; Morris et al. (2007) for maize and other crops for the continent as a whole; for dryland cereals in Mali, Haider et al. 2018; for maize in Burkina Faso, Theriault et al. 2018a).\r\nConfronted with such challenges, it is not surprising that most policymakers in Sub-Saharan Africa followed policies pursued in Asia and chose primarily state-led approaches from the late 1960s until the mid-1980s. Strategies to promote fertilizer use included government programs that supplied inputs with subsidized credit programs that linked inputs to outputs, large-scale demonstration programs such as Sasakawa Global-2000, and state-owned company models like those developed for export crops like cotton in Mali. Fiscal crises and donor pressures under structural adjustment eventually ended subsidies in a number of countries beginning in the late 1980s through the early 1990s.\r\nBy the early 2000s, the urgency of arresting soil nutrient mining combined with rising fertilizer and food prices once again stimulated interest in ways to raise fertilizer use. Input subsidy programs were re-introduced under a new, “smart” guise (Morris et al., 2007; World Bank, 2007; Minde et al. 2008; Dorward 2009). Noting then that there is no universally applicable “recipe” for a successful fertilizer promotion strategy, Morris et al. (2007) proposed guiding principles based on “recurring lessons” from previous experience. Generally adopted by the World Bank, these core principles require that subsidies be 1) focused to encourage incremental use by farmers who do not already use them; 2) market-supporting (not displacing of existing sales) in order to encourage the development of the private sector; 3) part of a broader development strategy, thereby avoiding the substitution of a subsidy for other public investments; and 4) temporary.', 'Smale, M. and V.

A total of 25 genes encoding selenoproteins\r\nhave been identified in humans, including iodothyronine deiodinases, thioredoxin reductases, glutathione\r\nperoxidases, and a range of other selenoproteins (e.g. SelP, SelM, SelT)1. These proteins have critical roles in\r\nthyroid functioning, cell proliferation and survival through redox homeostasis, antioxidant defence and the\r\nimmune response. When Se intake is suboptimal, the selenoprotein status of people decreases and there are\r\nincreased risks of adverse health effects. At extremely low Se intake levels (where habitual intakes for adults are\r\n,20 mg Se d21), clinical deficiency disorders have been reported including Keshan disease (a cardiomyopathy)\r\nand Kashin-Beck disease (an osteoarthropathy). Where habitual intakes for adults are less than those needed for\r\nmaximal expression of glutathione peroxidase, typically at least 40 mg Se d21, there is an increased risk of health\r\ndisorders, including cardiovascular disorders, impaired immune functions, and some cancers1. The relationships\r\nbetween Se intake, Se status in terms of selenoprotein expression and health outcomes have still to be fully\r\nresolved2,3. These uncertainties are reflected in the wide range of Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) levels in different\r\ncountries1. Some DRIs are set to reduce risks of overt deficiency (i.e. recommending intakes of ,40 mg Se d21),\r\nalthough most countries have recommended intake levels of 50–70 mg Se d21. As high habitual levels of Se intake\r\nare potentially toxic (.400–900 mg Se d21), care must be taken in setting DRIs and recommending dietary\r\nsupplementation.\r\nSelenium intake in human populations is derived primarily from dietary sources and can be determined from\r\ndirect dietary analyses or surveys and food composition tables. Reported Se intakes range from 3 to\r\n7000 mg Se d21 globally4 due to differing dietary preferences and the levels of plant available Se in the soil on\r\nwhich crops are grown for consumption1,4–7. Populations in many European countries and elsewhere have intakes\r\n,50 mg Se d21, which are likely to be suboptimal in terms of selenoprotein expression2. Higher dietary Se intake\r\nlevels (.150 mg Se d21) occur in Se-rich (seleniferous) environments (e.g. parts of China, India, North America,\r\nand Venezuela) and where seafood-based diets containing high concentrations of Se are prevalent (e.g. notably in\r\nparts of Greenland and Japan).

The paper highlights the main elements of the new conceptual framework and its main strategic conclusions for attacking poverty before addressing crucial issues for its implementation: The need for an operational definition of vulnerability; the use of social risk assessments as an operational entry point for a new policy dialogue; economic crisis management and the lessons for social protection; and the undertaking of social expenditure reviews to enhance the effectiveness of government intervention for addressing risk and vulnerability.

Groundwater resources throughout rural Africa are exploited by a vast and increasing number of hand-pumped boreholes for community supply. Our research in TA Ngabu (Shire Valley), Southern Malawi aims to: define groundwater-salinity problem occurrence within its semi-arid alluvial-valley aquifer setting and rural developing-world context; critique current capacity to respond; and, to discuss future response options - in particular considering the need to explore alternative options that boldly go beyond the world of hand-pumped groundwater supply. Salinity problem definition was achieved through survey of 419 hand-pumped boreholes that revealed widespread brackish groundwater causing nonpotable (unpalatable) drinking-water supplies. Persistent non-functionality or abandonment of boreholes was typically ascribed to salinity. Whilst salinity is conceptualised to arise from shallow-groundwater evaporation, formation-evaporite dissolution and faulted-area upwelling, sparse data locally renders attribution of salinity sources to individual boreholes difficult. There is a significant need to better resolve the vertical distribution of salinity. Problem response capacity was hampered by multiple factors, including, sector inertia, low drilling costs compromising water-point integrity, and lack of technical vision for alternatives. Various recommendations are made to improve response capacity continuing to work at the hand-pump supply scale. However, in areas where salinity is significant, exploring the feasibility of other options is advocated in conjunction with technical capacity development. Groundwater options may utilise high borehole yields possible from alluvial aquifers, grossly under-exploited by hand pumps. Groundwater at depth, albeit of unknown quality typically, or pipeline transfers of probable good-quality groundwater from valley-margin units, should be considered. Surface-water pipeline supplies may be viable for (growing) population centres. Canal-fed irrigation schemes (pending for the area), should be multiple-use, protective of groundwater and embrace pipeline drinking-water supply and managed-aquifer-recharge opportunities. Advancing desalination technologies, although presently unaffordable, should be kept under review. ', 'Michael O. Rivett1,⁎, Laura Budimir1, Nicholas Mannix1, Alexandra V.M.

Despite the occurrence of child undernutrition and widespread suboptimal feeding practices in Malawi, the association of breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices and undernutrition among Malawian children remains unclear. The purpose of the study was to determine the current breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices, to identify maternal determinants of each practice, and to analyze the associations between breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices with stunting, underweight, and wasting. Methods: The most recent Malawi Demographic Health Survey (2015–2016) was used and data for 2294 children aged 0–23months were included. A conceptual framework of five maternal domains: sociodemographic, health status, health behaviors, women’s empowerment, and media exposure was used. Each domain contained exposure variables and the WHO Infant and Young Child Feeding indicators were used as outcome variables. All analyses were adjusted for clustering, and variables that reached a p-value of <0.05 were considered significant in the final model. Results: Among children, 30.8% were stunted, 9.9% were underweight, and 3.7% were wasted. Many (78%) were breastfed within the first hour of birth, 89% were breastfed until their first birthday, yet 40% were not exclusively breastfed to 6 months. Only 32% met minimum dietary diversity, 23% met minimum meal frequency, 12% met minimum acceptable diet and 12% consumed iron-rich foods. Children whose mothers lived in urban areas were less likely to be breastfed within 1 hour of birth but more likely to meet minimum dietary diversity. Children whose mothers listened to radio were more likely to meet minimum meal frequency. Children (13–23months) who met minimum meal frequency and minimum acceptable diet were less likely to be underweight. Conclusions: Optimal breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices in Malawi remain suboptimal and child undernutrition remains problematic. Maternal characteristics from the five domains were significantly associated with optimal breastfeeding and complementary feeding indicators. Knowledge of these maternal determinants can assist in improving nutrition policies and interventions that aim to impact breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices and child growth in Malawi.

Agroforestry can improve the resiliency of agricultural systems and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Existing research suggests that integrating trees on farms can prevent environmental degradation, improve agricultural productivity, increase carbon sequestration, generate cleaner water, and support healthy soil and healthy ecosystems while providing stable incomes and other benefits to human welfare. Although these claims are becoming more widely accepted as the body of agroforestry research increases, systematic understanding of the evidence supporting them remains lacking for high-income countries. This systematic map will address this research need by providing a tool for identifying and visualizing the existing evidence demonstrating the impacts of agroforestry practices and interventions on agricultural productivity, ecosystem services, and human well-being. The results will be useful for informing policy decisions and future research by making the evidence easily accessible and highlighting the gaps in knowledge as well as areas with enough evidence to conduct systematic reviews. Methods: This systematic map will identify, collect, display, and describe available evidence on the impacts of agroforestry on agricultural productivity, ecosystem services, and human well-being in high-income countries.

Content\r\nand statistical analyses were utilised to examine differences in student entrepreneurial intentions\r\nand attitudes towards entrepreneurship after being exposed to successful entrepreneurial models.\r\nOur study provides evidence that entrepreneurship education based on successful entrepreneurial\r\nrole models may positively influence the entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions of students and\r\ncould lead to higher orientation of student perception towards social benefits of entrepreneurship\r\n(new jobs) compared to financial ones (high income). However, our findings stress that if educators\r\nwant to improve the efficiency of education focused on developing entrepreneurial skills, graduate\r\nprogrammes should be designed differently for business and non-business students, since studying\r\nsuccessful entrepreneurial stories impacts these two groups differently.\r\nKeywords: entrepreneurship education; entrepreneurial role model; entrepreneurial intention;\r\nsuccessful entrepreneurs', 'Gabriela Boldureanu, AlinaMariuca Ionescu, Ana-Maria Bercu , Maria Viorica Bedrule-Grigorut, and Daniel Boldureanu (2020), Entrepreneurship Education through Successful Entrepreneurial Models in Higher Education Institutions.', 'Gabriela Boldureanu, AlinaMariuca Ionescu, Ana-Maria Bercu , Maria Viorica Bedrule-Grigorut, and Daniel Boldureanu, Entrepreneurship Education through Successful Entrepreneurial Models in Higher Education Institutions(2020).', 'Gabriela Boldureanu, AlinaMariuca Ionescu, Ana-Maria Bercu , Maria Viorica Bedrule-Grigorut, and Daniel Boldureanu (2020), Entrepreneurship Education through Successful Entrepreneurial Models in Higher Education Institutions.', 'book1.png', 'Neytech Solutions', 17, 49, 3), (500, 'TOWARDS A SHOCK SENSITIVE SOCIAL PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR MALAWI ', 'Rebecca Holmes and Cecilia Costella with Meghan Bailey, Andrew Kruczkiewicz, Richard Poulter, Kay Sharp and Lucy Scott ', '2017', 'Public Reports', '', '14008', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'This report assesses the potential for strengthening ‘shock-sensitive’ social protection in Malawi.

While some documents remain “cautiously optimistic”, that commodity prices will fall from their 2010-11 levels and stabilise as market signals incentivise farmers to produce more food (OECD-FAO 2011), most are less sanguine about the prospects for feeding the world, especially a global population of 9b by 2050 (Evans 2009). Indeed, of these recent mainstream reports, there are varying degrees of acknowledgement of the other challenges that intersect with food production - such as projected rates of global warming, freshwater depletion, biodiversity losses, and tightening energy markets - let alone matters of livelihood security and improved access to food for the rural poor. For most, the central solution is to develop and apply new agricultural technologies in order to increase food production. Only one recent report of international significance comes to a different conclusion: the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD 2009), was clear in its advocacy for a new direction in public policy for food and livelihood security under increasingly constrained environmental conditions.

Low height-for-age, or stunting, is failure to reach linear growth\r\npotential in early childhood due to recurrent illness and chronic malnutrition\r\n(Fenske, Burns, Hothorn, & Rehfuess, 2013). Stunting is the most prevalent\r\nform of malnutrition, affecting 155 million children (UNICEF, 2017). A major\r\nconcern about stunting, a form of chronic malnutrition, is that it has many\r\neffects on the individual’s health, later child schooling, and therefore has\r\nenormous economic implications. Reducing stunting is widely accepted as a\r\nsmart investment (Hoddinott, Alderman, Behrman, Haddad, & Horton, 2013).\r\nHoddinott, Alderman, et al. (2013) find that an individual stunted at age 36\r\nmonths was predicted, as an adult, to have 66% percent lower per capita\r\nconsumption, presenting a direct measure of the economic cost of stunting\r\n(Hoddinott, Alderman, et al., 2013). In addition, the World Bank estimates that\r\nfor every dollar invested in reducing stunting, there is a return of ten dollars\r\nand an increase of 4-11% in Gross Domestic Product (Shekar, Kakietek, Dayton\r\nEberwein, & Walters, 2016). Furthemore, Spears (2012) demonstrated that\r\nbeing one standard deviation taller showed an association with better future\r\nwriting skills.\r\nAs a result, nutrition is now a dominant feature of the global agendas. In 2010,\r\nthe Scaling up Nutrition movement, representing sixty countries to date, was\r\nformed to collectively champion nutrition (SUN, 2017). In 2012, the World\r\nHealth Assembly (WHA) set targets to reduce stunting by 40% for each\r\ncountry by 2025 (WHO, 2014), while the 2015, Sustainable Development Goals\r\n(SDGs, 2015) aim to end malnutrition in all its forms by 2030 (Baye, 2017). In\r\nthe history of global development goals, reducing stunting is today explicitly\r\nincluded as an indicator, giving it a new focus and prominence.

This article identifies the opportunities and barriers to the use of\r\nclimate services for planning in Malawi, to identify the types of information that can better inform future adaptation decisions in\r\nsub-Saharan Africa. From policy analysis, stakeholder interviews, and a national workshop utilizing serious games, it is determined\r\nthat only 5–10 day and seasonal forecasts are currently being used in government decision making. Impediments to\r\ngreater integration of climate services include spatial and temporal scale, accessibility, timing, credibility and the mismatch in\r\ntimeframes between planning cycles (1–5 years) and climate projections (over 20 years). Information that could more usefully\r\ninform planning decisions includes rainfall distribution within a season, forecasts with 2–3 week lead times, likely timing and\r\nlocation of extreme events in the short term (1–5 years), and projections (e.g. rainfall and temperature change) in the medium\r\nterm (6–20 years). Development of a national set of scenarios would also make climate information more accessible to decision\r\nmakers, and capacity building around such scenarios would enable its improved use in short- to medium-term planning.\r\nImproved climate science and its integration with impact models offer exciting opportunities for integrated climate-resilient\r\nplanning across sub-Saharan Africa. Accrual of positive impacts requires enhanced national capacity to interpret climate information\r\nand implement communication strategies across sectors.\r\nPolicy relevance\r\nFor climate services to achieve their goal of improving adaptation decision making, it is necessary to understand the decision\r\nmaking process and how and when various types of weather and climate information can be incorporated. Through a case study\r\nof public sector planning in Malawi, this article highlights relevant planning and policy-making processes. The current use of\r\nweather and climate information and needs, over various timescales – sub-annual to short term (1–5 years) to medium term (6–\r\n20 years) – is outlined. If climate scientists working with boundary organizations are able to address these issues in a more\r\ntargeted, sector-facing manner they will improve the uptake of climate services and the likelihood of climate-resilient decisions\r\nacross sub-Saharan Africa.\r\nKeywords: adaptation; adaptation policy; decision making; science communication; science–policy interface; serious games', 'Katharine Vincent, Andrew J.

The objective was to learn about best practices in the management of the AET institutions which can then potentially be applied to other AET institutions. South Africa demonstrated the greatest degree of diversity in their AET institutions. What is even more remarkable is that South Africa arguably has the most market driven, demand oriented AET-sensitive curricula in southern Africa. Different institutions target different segments in the job market. This is a great lesson for many African countries who are vying to increase job opportunities for their graduates.\r\nA region-wide quality control approach is picking up substantially in the southern African AET institutions. However, it remains to be seen how seriously these standards are being domesticated in the various institutions.

Trying to recover after nearly three\r\ndecades of war, it became a donor darling, and aid has been rising steadily for the past decade\r\n(see Figure 1). Mozambique receives significantly more aid than neighbours at a similar level\r\n(see Table 1) – Malawi (GDP rank 172, HDI 160) and Tanzania (GDP 157, HDI 151) receive\r\nonly 60 percent per capita of the aid of Mozambique. This may be because Mozambique is\r\none of the few countries to be loyally following a neo-liberal, free market development policy\r\nand is apparently also reducing poverty (Hanlon and Smart 2008; De Renzio and Hanlon\r\n2009). Both Malawi and Tanzania have publicly opposed donor economic policies.\r\nA national family-consumption survey (IAF, Inquérito aos Agregados Familiares) in 1996-97\r\nshowed that 69 percent of the population lived below the poverty line. A similar study six\r\nyears later offered two alternative figures: 63 percent based on the same poverty line; or 54\r\npercent based on changed consumption patterns which effectively lowered the poverty line\r\n(MPF/IFPRI/PU, 2004). Poverty lines were based on food baskets; between the two surveys,\r\npoor people switched to cheaper, lower quality food, which, it was claimed, allowed the\r\npoverty line to be lowered. Perhaps not surprisingly, government and donors accepted the\r\nlower percentage, which appeared to show a dramatic fall in poverty in only six years. In\r\nkeeping with this, Mozambique’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, the Action Plan to\r\nReduce Absolute Poverty 2006-2009 (Plano de Acção para a Redução da Pobreza Absoluta,\r\nPARPA II), called for a further cut to 45 percent by 2009. Some of us argued that the higher\r\npoverty figure was more realistic, because the reduction in the number of people below the\r\npoverty line came about mainly by lowering the line, and because no other survey showed\r\nsuch a dramatic fall in poverty (Hanlon and Smart 2008: 61). This provoked a fierce debate\r\nwith the authors of the IAF report (Savana, January 25, 2008). The 45 percent target has\r\nproved a hostage to fortune. Both donors and government staked their prestige on a\r\ncontinuing huge fall in poverty, but the National Agricultural Survey (Trabalho de Inquérito\r\nAgrícola, TIA), a nationally representative household-income survey, indicates that far from\r\ndeclining, poverty is actually increasing, as is the gap between rich and poor.\r\nOfficially, 70 percent of the Mozambican population is rural and agriculture is the\r\npredominant economic activity in Mozambique. The smallholder sector accounts for 99\r\npercent of all farms, which means that the further reduction in poverty called for in PARPA II\r\nis dependent on enhancing farmers’ incomes. PARPA II recognises this and prioritises\r\nagricultural development to increase rural incomes and reduce absolute poverty. PARPA II\r\ncalls for a transformation of agriculture through the promotion of agrarian services, and\r\nincreased productivity and production.

These brands—which had programmatic, rhetorical, and\r\nsymbolic components—allowed Mutharika and Banda the possibility of\r\nachieving a broader national appeal, whereas presidential elections before\r\n2009 had been decided on the basis of regional patronage networks.\r\nMutharika’s brand suggested how he would empower smallholder farmers to be\r\nable to ensure their own food security. Mutharika achieved this outcome in his\r\nfirst term and the voters overwhelmingly returned him to office. A collapsing\r\neconomy in his second term, however, intensified national poverty.

In recent years numerous countries in Sub-\r\nSaharan Africa (SSA) including Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Senegal, Tanzania, and\r\nZambia have implemented such programs at substantial cost to government and donor\r\nbudgets. For example, in 2008 Malawi spent roughly 70% of the Ministry of Agriculture’s\r\nbudget or just over 16% of the government’s total budget subsidizing fertilizer and seed. In\r\nZambia between 2004 and 2011, an average of 40% of the government’s agricultural sector\r\nbudget was devoted to fertilizer and maize seed subsidies each year.\r\nUnlike the universal input subsidies that were common prior to the agricultural market\r\nreforms of the 1980s and 1990s, many of the current input subsidy programs in SSA target\r\nthe subsidies towards households that meet certain criteria. By selecting people who would\r\nnot otherwise participate in input markets, in principle these targeted input subsidies should\r\nnot disrupt purchases of inputs at commercial prices in the way that universal input subsidies\r\ndid in the past. The extent to which input subsidies disrupt commercial purchases of inputs is\r\nan important determinant of the impact of the subsidy program on total input use. If an input\r\nsubsidy has a positive effect on purchases of inputs at commercial prices, then the subsidy\r\ncan be said to crowd in commercial purchases. On the other hand, if an input subsidy has a\r\nnegative effect on commercial purchases, then the subsidy can be said to crowd out or\r\ndisplace commercial purchases.\r\nIn this study, we use nationally representative household panel survey data from Malawi and\r\nZambia to estimate the extent to which subsidized improved maize seed and subsidized\r\nfertilizer crowd out smallholders’ commercial purchases of improved maize seed. (Improved\r\nmaize seeds are defined in the study as hybrid varieties and open pollinated varieties (OPV).)\r\nPast efforts have quantified the effects of fertilizer subsidies on commercial purchases of\r\nfertilizer but this paper is the first to quantify the effects of subsidies for both improved maize\r\nseed and fertilizer on commercial maize seed purchases. Recent evidence from Malawi\r\nsuggests that nearly half the maize yield gains from the input subsidy program come from\r\nuptake of improved maize seed. This makes it essential to understand the extent to which\r\nseed subsidies contributed to increasing improved seed use. In addition to estimating the\r\ncrowding out effects of input subsidies, the study also examines the factors affecting the\r\nquantities of subsidized inputs received by smallholder households in Malawi and Zambia.\r\nThe study highlights four key findings. First, the distribution of subsidized inputs across\r\nsmallholder households appears to be politically motivated in both Malawi and Zambia. In\r\nMalawi, other factors constant, households in districts won by the ruling party in the last\r\npresidential election receive 1.7 kilograms (kg) more subsidized maize seed and 11.4 kg more\r\nsubsidized fertilizer than households in districts lost by the ruling party. In Zambia,\r\nhouseholds in constituencies won by the ruling party receive 10.8 kg more subsidized\r\nfertilizer, and that quantity increases by 0.5 kg for each percentage point increase in the\r\nruling party’s margin of victory. Both the Malawian and Zambian governments appear to be\r\nusing subsidized inputs to reward patronage.', 'Nicole M.

In particular, green growth policies often encourage developing countries to\r\nredesign their national strategies in ways that might be inconsistent with natural\r\ncomparative advantages and past investments. In turn, there are often sizeable antireform\r\ncoalitions whose interests may conflict with a green growth agenda.

The impact of these shocks\r\nhas been far reaching, and the resulting macroeconomic\r\ninstability has been a major constraint to growth and\r\npoverty reduction in Malawi. This paper describes a\r\nweather risk management tool that has been developed\r\nto help the government manage the financial impact of\r\ndrought-related national maize production shortfalls. The\r\ninstrument is an index-based weather derivative contract\r\ndesigned to transfer the financial risk of severe and\r\ncatastrophic national drought that adversely impacts the\r\ngovernment’s budget to the international risk markets.\r\nBecause rainfall and maize yields are highly correlated,\r\nchanges in rainfall—its timing, cumulative amount, and\r\ndistribution—can act as an accurate proxy for maize\r\nlosses.

However its impact is\r\nespecially severe on the livelihoods of the poor who heavily depend on natural\r\nresources. Despite the severe impact of land degradation on the poor and the crucial\r\nrole that land plays in human welfare and development, investments in sustainable\r\nland management (SLM) are low, especially in developing countries. This chapter\r\nsummarizes the results from global and regional levels as well as 12 case study\r\ncountries. The chapter also draws conclusions and implications for taking action\r\nagainst land degradation. Land degradation stretches to about 30 % of the total\r\nglobal land area and about three billion people reside in degraded lands. The annual\r\nglobal cost of land degradation due to land use/cover change (LUCC) and using\r\nland degrading management practices on static cropland and grazing land is about\r\n300 billion USD. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) accounts for the largest share (22 %) of\r\nthe total global cost of land degradation. Only about 46 % of the cost of land\r\ndegradation due to LUCC—which accounts for 78 % of the US$300 billion loss—\r\nis borne by land users and the remaining share (54 %) is borne by consumers of\r\necosystem services off the farm. This further illustrates that land degradation is a\r\nglobal problem even though its impact is much greater on poor land users. The cost\r\nof taking action against land degradation is much lower than the cost of inaction\r\nand the returns to taking action are high. On average, one US dollar investment into\r\nrestoration of degraded land returns five US dollars. This provides a strong\r\nincentive for taking action against land degradation. This study shows that simul-taneously enhancing local and national level governments, land tenure security, and\r\nimproving market access is the most effective strategy for addressing land degradation.\r\nGiven that LUCC accounts for the largest share of cost of land degradation,\r\nthere is a need for developing land use planning that will ensure that forests and\r\nother high value biomes are effectively protected. Empirical evidence has shown\r\nthat involvement of local communities in managing forests and other high value\r\nbiomes and creating mechanisms for them to directly benefit from their conservation\r\nefforts lead to more effective protection than is the case with centralized protection.\r\nThe assessment in this volume is being conducted at a time when there is an\r\nelevated interest in private land investments and when global efforts to achieve\r\nsustainable development objectives have intensified. This means, results of this\r\nvolume will contribute significantly to the ongoing policy debate and efforts to\r\ndesign strategies for achieving sustainable development goals and other efforts to\r\naddress land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.\r\nKeywords Economics of land degradation and improvement  Sustainable land\r\nmanagement  Cost of action  Ecosystem services', 'Ephraim Nkonya, Alisher Mirzabaev and Joachim von Braun (2016), Economics of Land Degradation and Improvement – A Global Assessment for Sustainable Development.', 'Ephraim Nkonya, Alisher Mirzabaev and Joachim von Braun, Economics of Land Degradation and Improvement – A Global Assessment for Sustainable Development(2016).', 'Ephraim Nkonya, Alisher Mirzabaev and Joachim von Braun (2016), Economics of Land Degradation and Improvement – A Global Assessment for Sustainable Development.', '0001economic of land.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 24, 103, 3), (540, 'AFRICAN HUMAN RIGHTS LAW JOURNAL', 'Redson Edward Kapindu', '2011', 'Public Reports', '', '40426', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Many migrants from Southern Africa come to South Africa every year in search of a better life.

The programme aims to provide coupons for purchase of subsidized fertilizer and seeds to targeted poor rural households. It is of high interest to know more about the efficiency of the fertilizerseed targeting programme in reaching poor households, the productivity and food security impacts of the subsidized fertilizers and seeds, and whether fertilizer subsidies crowd out organic manures and other crops than maize. The targeting of fertilizer subsidies is affected by the fact that informal markets for fertilizer coupons as well as for subsidized fertilizers have emerged and which have productivity, poverty and equity effects that have not been studied in earlier impact assessments of the programme. In this report we provide new evidence on the extent of leakages of coupons and seeds from the administrative programme and how these leakages re-enter the rural economies through the informal markets. The targeting efficiency of the administrative coupon system is assessed given the targeting criteria. The relationships between household characteristics and access to administratively targeted coupons, purchased coupons and purchased cheap fertilizers are analysed. The impacts of the programme are assessed with a number of indicators at household and village levels based on household perceptions. Household preferences for fertilizer, willingness and ability to pay are examined through a number of social experiments. The objectives of the project were to identify \r\n1) The extent to which poor rural households benefit from the targeted fertilizer and seed subsidy programme by receiving coupons for seeds and fertilizers that they are able to use to boost their own farm production to enhance their food security, income, and build-up of assets, 2) The extent to which the targeted fertilizer and seed subsidy programme results in efficient utilization of these inputs through enhancement of farm plot level land productivity, 3) The productivity of alternative seed varieties of maize (HYVs, OPVs, recycled seeds, local seeds), 4) The extent to which fertilizer subsidies for maize crowd out other crops and the use of organic manures and have other sustainable land management implications, \r\nThis report primarily addresses objective 1) and provides a partial analysis of objective 4) based on analysis at household level.

Conceptually, the PoA aims to contribute to the formulation of the Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP) in terms of information and targeting. Alternatively, in the absence of an institutional tool, the PoA can sustain the appealing process as well as advocate for a ‘connectedness’ between the emergency and development assistance. Operationally, the realisation of the PoA is achieved through the existing food security and agricultural livelihoods interagency cluster and this framework have the buy-in, ownership and support of local and central Government, communities, national and international NGOs, UN agencies and donors. The interagency cluster - co-chaired by the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF), FAO and WFP - provides a forum for information exchange and consensus building, ultimately leading to an enhanced response and a more balanced allocation of resources. The PoA’s structure follows the sequence of a logical framework progressing from Situation Analysis to Response Options Analysis, Response Planning, Response Implementation, and Monitoring and Evaluation.

Can index insurance contribute to adaptation strategies in developing countries? Can it play a role in managing the uncertainty associated with climate change? And does climate change challenge the viability of index-based insurance products? There are at least three ways in which index insurance might help build adaptive capacity: as a risk transfer mechanism within a comprehensive strategy for managing climate risk in the face of climate change; as a mechanism to help people access the resources needed to escape climate-related poverty; and as a mechanism to incentivize risk reduction. A comprehensive strategy for adaptation in the agricultural sector, for example, could include adapted crop varieties, microirrigation, rainwater harvesting and improved soil conservation practices. However, a certain \r\namount of risk would remain – and this remaining risk might be covered by index insurance. The second way index insurance can contribute to adaptation is through building more resilient livelihoods by enabling access to increased credit, technology and inputs. Insured loans allow lenders to recuperate their money even in a year where the climate causes production losses. The loans allow people to invest in more intensive livelihood strategies which may help them to escape poverty traps. The increase in wealth and in economic resilience allows people to buffer themselves from the direct impacts of the climate. Beyond this, a key challenge in designing insurance in the face of climate change is to incentivize risk reduction through price signals and risk management stipulations. For example, contracts could stipulate that certain risk reduction mechanisms, such as the adoption of wind-resistant cropping patterns or drought-tolerant crop varieties, must be in place if crops are to be covered. In Ethiopia, a pilot project is testing a scheme in which cash-constrained farmers pay for insurance premiums through their labor on community assets which reduce risk, such as water-harvesting structures. The cost of the premiums in this project contains a component that is a price signal to reflect long-term trends (Oxfam America, 2009; see ‘A farmercentric approach in Ethiopia’ on page 44 and ‘Climate variability and change and index insurance’ on page 38).', 'Molly E.

In order for planners and the public to implement effective mitigation and preparedness measures to reduce drought impacts, they have to understand its evolution, complexity, social implications and people’s vulnerability. To this end, wide-ranging and well-coordinated efforts at international, regional, and national levels are needed to build drought-resilient communities and societies. \r\nDrought is a natural part of climate, although it may be erroneously considered as a rare and random event. It occurs in virtually all climatic zones, but its characteristics vary significantly from one region to another. Drought is a temporary aberration; it differs from aridity, which is restricted to low rainfall regions. \r\nDrought is categorized as a hydro-meteorological hazard. According to the UNISDR Terminology on Disaster Risk Reduction 2009, “hazard” is defined as “a dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity or condition that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage”. In technical settings, hazards are often described quantitatively by the likely frequency of occurrence of different intensities for different areas, as determined from historical data or scientific analysis. \r\nA broad definition of drought is a deficiency of precipitation over an extended period of time, usually a season or more, which results in a water shortage for some activity, group, or environmental sectors. However, in terms of typologies, droughts are classified as meteorological, agricultural, hydrological, and socio-economic. \r\nMeteorological drought is a natural event that results from climatic causes, which differ from region to region. Agricultural, hydrological, and socio-economic drought, however, place greater emphasis on the human or social aspects of drought. They highlight the interaction between the natural characteristics of meteorological drought and human activities that depend on precipitation to provide adequate water supplies to meet societal and environmental demands.\r\nMultilateral Environmental Agreements such as the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) are also strongly linked to some aspects of drought risk reduction framework and practices. The UNCCD has its specific definition of “drought” as “the naturally occurring phenomenon that exists when precipitation has been significantly below normal recorded levels, causing serious hydrological imbalances that adversely affect land resource production systems”.\r\nThe risk associated with drought for any region or group is a product of the exposure to the natural hazard and the vulnerability of the society to the event. The UNISDR definition for “vulnerability” is “the characteristics and circumstances of a community, system or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard. Leaders and planners in drought-prone regions should conduct risk assessments to both better understand the drought hazard and identify the factors and processes concerning who and what is most at risk to drought, and why.

The country has enjoyed seven years of uninterrupted economic growth. Between 2004 and 2009, it averaged 7% annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates, performing well above the sub-Saharan average of 5% per year. This progress has been paralleled with notable poverty reduction (NSO, 2009). Nationally reported figures show a decline in the rate of poverty from 52% to 39% between 2004 and 2009. There has also been a notable drop in inequality, with the Gini coefficient falling from 62 in 1993 to 39 in 2004.1 In terms of human development, using Millennium Development Goal (MDG) indicators, the country ranks among the top 20 performers, in relation to both absolute and relative progress (ODI, 2010). The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the UN Secretary-General have both lauded Malawi as a success story. The reality is more complicated than the macro indicators reflect, however. Malawi presents a complex and mixed picture of progress. It is essentially a story of progress in economic conditions since 2004, driven by macroeconomic stability, an appropriate and effective input subsidy programme, improved policy coherence and strengthened national ownership of development policy. Nevertheless, the story is complicated in that a set of precarious factors has underpinned progress, which raises valid concerns about sustainability. This illustrates that progress in development is neither linear nor perfect, and not all good things occur simultaneously. Malawi provides a more realistic picture of progress in development: three steps forward, two steps backward, one step sideways.

Other chapters were commissioned for this volume. A full report of the workshop is available separately. Taken together, these publications aim to amplify the voices of those people who are most at risk from climate change and to establish the basis for a compelling research and policy agenda on the social dimensions of climate change. Our goal at the World Bank is to help developing countries realize the promise of sustainable development through the progressive achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Our vision is to contribute to an inclusive and sustainable globalization—to overcome poverty, enhance growth with care for the environment, and create individual opportunity and hope. Climate change alters the context of this work and thus demands new approaches, policies, and tools to help developing countries meet the challenges of reconciling climate action with the development and growth agenda. For many years, the World Bank has been a focal point for fi nancing on climate change, and today it is a major lender for renewable energy and energy effi ciency.

Poverty is responsible for poor health and under-nutrition, but it is also widely recognized that agriculture has the potential to greatly reduce poverty. Some 75 percent of the world’s poor people live in rural areas, and strong agricultural growth could raise the incomes of rural people and help to pull millions out of poverty, thus overcoming under-nutrition and poor health. Agriculture is the only realistic way for most people to get the nutrition they need. Farmers are now being encouraged to grow more nutritious crops. One example of this approach is already being tried with an effort to promote biofortified crops—that is, staple crops that have been bred to contain high levels of micronutrients, such as vitamin A or iron. The nutritional quality of foods can also be enhanced during processing and retailing. Consumers can be encouraged to accept, and even seek, more nutritious foods as efforts continue to be made to make such foods available and affordable. It is worth noting, however, that the links between agriculture on the one hand and health and nutrition on the other work both ways. Given that agriculture is highly labor-intensive in many poor countries, productive agriculture requires the labor of healthy and well-nourished people. People who suffer from malnutrition and poor health are less able to do the work required for agricultural production. Nutritional deficits and disease have been shown to impair people’s physical and cognitive capacities. The result in many regions of the world has been a downward spiral of low agricultural productivity, low income, poverty, and poor nutrition and health. In an effort to unleash the potential of agriculture and agricultural research to achieve health and nutritional outcomes in Africa, the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and its partners are implementing a multi-country and multi-year project entitled Making Agricultural Innovations Work for Smallholder Farmers affected by HIV and AIDS in Southern Africa (MIRACLE). The major goal of the project is to improve the health and nutritional status, food security, and income of people affected by HIV and AIDS in southern Africa through the production, consumption, and marketing of nutritionally enhanced crop and livestock products, advocating supportive agricultural and health policies, and strengthening the capacity of key stakeholders engaged in agricultural activities. Expected outputs of the project include: (1) strengthened institutions and improved partnership and stakeholder capacity to enhance access to rural support services by people affected by HIV and AIDS; (2) dissemination and deployment of farm productivity-enhancing innovations that improve food security, nutrition, and health; (3) enhanced nutrition through dietary improvement and diversification; (4) successful transition to sustainable reliance on own-produced nutritious foods and income generation; (5) development and promotion of value addition and products from diverse nutrient-dense crops; and (6) advocacy for appropriate policy options for linking agriculture and nutrition to improved human health. The project is being implemented in HIV/AIDS hotspots in four countries: Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, and Zambia. The priority action sites are those where research and development partners already have ongoing activities, such as the provision of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), and interventions in nutrition or agriculture. The MIRACLE project adds value to the existing initiatives by improving linkages between agriculture, nutrition, and health. As one of the countries highly dependent on agriculture and affected by HIV/AIDS in southern Africa, Malawi is one of the target countries for the MIRACLE project. Globally, Malawi is ranked eighth in terms of HIV/AIDS prevalence. Women are particularly disproportionately affected by the epidemic (Simwaka et al. 2011). There is a consensus that among the adverse impacts of HIV/AIDS on smallholder agriculture is a reduction in crop production (Asingwire and Kyomuhendo 2003; Yamano and Jayne 2004; Thangata et al. 2007) and ultimately food and nutrition insecurity. This is mainly due to loss of labor resulting from HIV/AIDS morbidity and mortality.', 'A.D. Alene, M. Khonje, J. Mwalughali, C. Chafuwa, A. Longwe, R. Khataza, E. Kapalasa, I. Madzorera, T.

Malawi developed many sectoral policies and strategies which became part of the overall strategy to implement the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS II). Despite unforeseen challenges, the country has placed itself on a path where, if certain bold steps are taken, the achievement of sound national transformation and self-sustaining growth and development can be reality. \r\n1.2 Malawi made significant progress towards achievement of some of the targets relating to the 2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The country registered remarkable progress in the national response to HIV and AIDS, as evidenced through the decline in the number of new HIV infections and decline in AIDS related deaths. Malawi’s rapid and successful Antiretroviral Therapy (ARV) scale up has critically influenced the HIV epidemic reducing mortality, morbidity and transmission. Malawi achieved and surpassed the MDG target on provision of safe drinking water. However, there remain large segments of the population in need of safe drinking water nation-wide. \r\n1.3 While this Review notes the need to accelerate efforts towards achieving gender equality, some steady progress has been registered during the MGDS II implementation period. Between 2012 and 2014, the country had women’s representation at the highest political level. There has been increased girl to boy ratio in primary and secondary education enrollment, leading to parity. An enabling legal environment has also been created for the promotion of gender equality and women empowerment through the enactment of laws related to inheritance, gender equality, marriage and trafficking. The relevance of gender responsive laws and policies is gradually being appreciated in emerging frameworks (for example, transport, mining, energy). Contraceptive prevalence rate has increased from 42 percent in 2010 to 58.7 percent in 2014, thus closing in on the MDG target of 60 percent. Despite remaining high, maternal mortality rates declined from 675/100,000 live births deaths in 2010 to 574 deaths/100,000 live births in 2014. Although concrete institutionalization remains outstanding, the pursuit of gender programming by ‘non-traditional’ Ministries such as Transport and Trade has been encouraging. So has the championing of the ‘He for She’ agenda at the highest political level. \r\n1.4 The Government of Malawi (GoM) thrust on Public Sector Reform, Public Financial Management (PFM), IFMIS, Organisational Performance Agreements, implementation of the Decentralisation Policy, are all steps in the right direction. The Programme Based Budgeting, currently being pilot tested in a number of sectors is also a commendable effort by the GoM to steer the country into self-sustaining growth and development. The embracing of the Sector-Wide Approaches (SWAps) and establishment of Technical Working Groups (TWGs) in a number of key sectors such as Agriculture and Food Security, Transport, Water Supply and Irrigation, Education, Health, Trade, Industry and Private Sector is a major effort undertaken by the Government of Malawi to establish functional structures to spearhead the implementation of the MGDS II. Through the Department of Economic Planning and Development, the GoM also sought to strengthen monitoring and evaluation systems across the sectors, from central to decentralized levels. This is with a view to strengthening evidence-based planning. Despite these efforts, there are a number of challenges and opportunities that have been examined in this MGDS II Review and the Comprehensive Country Situation Analysis undertaken in the course of this assignment.

The project studied smallholder farming systems and developed integrated aquaculture technologies in collaboration with the Malawian Department of Fisheries, the University of Malawi and the Ministry of Research and Environmental Affairs. The project began with a comprehensive survey of the ecological and socioeconomic context in which Malawian smallholding farmers must earn their living. The majority of the enterprises on these farms are resource-limited and use, for the most part, traditional farming methods which are increasingly unproductive and inadequate in light of expanding population pres- sure. One important consequence of the failure of traditional agriculture to meet human needs is environmental degradation associated with bringing marginal land into agriculture, and the overexploitation of fragile ecosystems. To ameliorate this situation, technologies which could take advantage of existing on- farm resources to improve productivity and environmental sustainability were developed in on-station trials at the Malawi National Aquaculture Center. Suitable species from within the Malawian indigenous species flock were selected and their culture characteristics were described. Crop residues and weeds which could serve as fishpond inputs were identified. Methods for the use of fertile pond water and mud for vegetable production were devised. Integrated crop-fish and animal-fish systems which improved the profitability and productivity of the whole farm were designed. These technologies were demonstrated to extension agents and packaged into extension booklets for transfer to farmers. Adoption of these technologies by smallholders using the existing extension approach and infrastructure was, however, less than was hoped for. To resolve this problem, farmers were approached directly for feedback. From their response, it became clear that more than just potential fish production was important in determining whether or not a particular farmer would adopt aquaculture. Among other things, the perceived ease with which fish culture could be inserted into the existing farming system was crucial. For example, adoption rates of rice-fish farming technology were much higher if the farmer had experience with either rice or fish. The perceived simplicity (or potential risk) of the technology was also critical. If farmers were presented with a lot of details and options for maximizing fish production (e.g., oxygen cycling, role of pH, calculation of feeding rates and sampling protocols, etc.) during the initial introduction of fish farming, most farmers would not participate. Those who were presented only with the idea that a hole, filled with water and fed with wastes from other farm activities could produce some fish were much more likely to adopt the technology. That farmers were more concerned about these issues than about the theoretical profitability of adopting aquaculture was a revelation to the researchers. It was previously assumed that a demonstrably better system of food production would be immediately adopted and that the constraints were largely related to the ability of the extension agents to explain, and farmers to grasp, complex ideas. In actual fact, the decisionmaking of farmers is far more complicated than that. The project found that constraints to adoption were best dealt with by letting the farmers decide what technology they would like to use, regardless of its productivity relative to other technologies. In other words, the socioeconomic constraints to adoption of aquaculture (e.g., lack of investment capital and social leveling mechanisms) are exacerbated when extension agents and scientists attempt to impose technology on farmers. To determine how farming systems evolved as a result of the adoption of fish farming, methods of participatory rural appraisal were adapted for use by researchers. This was combined with monitoring tools developed for farming systems research. This permitted the measurement of the impact of the integrated farming systems which were being promoted by the project and related extension programs. Profitability of farms participating in pilot studies was doubled, on average, and efficiency of production of vegetable gardens was improved. The simple systems which were adopted became more sophisticated and pro- ductive as the farmers became more familiar with fish farming. To improve the technologies which were being presented to farmers and make these more immediately appropriate to their needs, a new set of research protocols was estab- lished. Rather than use an idealized optimal management strategy as a control of treat- ments, the actual types of materials available on smallholdings were applied in the amounts used by farmers. This dramatically reduced the productivity of the pond, but the amount of fish produced was much closer to what the farmers could realistically expect. Conducting research in this way forced scientists to interact with farmers during weekly visits and learn more about their constraints and perceptions. Scientists and farmers must communicate with each other if truly useful research is to be conducted and the results adopted by farmers. ', 'R.E.

The purpose of the work was to provide tools and information to help practitioners identify places and conditions where pond aquaculture can benefit the poor, both as producers and as consumers of fish. By undertaking the project in four countries (Cameroon and Malawi in Africa, and Bangladesh and China in Asia), each at a different stage of aquaculture development, project researchers were better able to test the toolkit for wide applicability and utility.\r\nApplying such a toolkit requires a clear understanding of the existing state of pond aquaculture in each country, the circumstances underpinning its development, and the factors driving its adoption or discontinuation. To achieve this, country case studies were conducted by extensive literature review supplemented with analysis of primary and secondary data.\r\nThis monograph is the case study for Malawi. Written in three parts, it describes the historical background, practices, stakeholder profiles, production levels, economic and institutional environment, policy issues, and prospects for aquaculture in the country. First, it documents the history and current status of the aquaculture in the country. Second, it assesses the technologies and approaches that either succeeded or failed to foster aquaculture development and discusses why. Third, it identifies the key reasons for aquaculture adoption.\r\nI hope that this monograph will help development practitioners and researchers interested in aquaculture development in Malawi.

The last Census, in 2008, showed that the country’s population had increased by one-third to just over 13 million since 1998. This landlocked country is predominantly rural, with 80% of its people residing outside towns and cities. Partly because of this, poverty and food insecurity have been viewed by donors and international agencies as rural problems. Most research on food insecurity in Malawi has focused on agricultural production by rural households.1 Despite its image as a rural society, Malawi’s major urban centres are growing fast. In 1966, the total population of the five largest urban centres was 157,000. This number rose to 644,000 in 20 years and had doubled again to 1,546,000 by 2008 (Table 1). In 2010, UN-HABITAT estimated the urban population of Malawi at 2.9 million, and projected further growth to 4.8 million in 2020 and 7.6 million (or 32% of the population) by 2030.2 Urban growth rates in Malawi are around 5% per annum, much higher than rural growth rates of less than 2% per annum, suggesting that urbanization will continue.

Barrett', 'unknown', 'Public Reports', '', '15682', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Markets are as fundamental to African agricultural development and poverty reduction as technologies and macroeconomic policies. All three heavily influence the productivity, and thus the incomes, of rural land owners and workers, as well as the prices of agricultural commodities and the food security of poor populations. Scholars and policymakers have nonetheless paid far less attention to the promotion of improved institutions for exchange than they have to the development of improved production technologies or to the pursuit of more prudent macroeconomic policies. This is perhaps especially true in Africa, an agrarian continent that was largely bypassed by the Green Revolution technological innovations of the 1960s-1970s, and subsequently unresponsive to the macroeconomic reforms enacted during the structural adjustment era of the 1980s-1990s. Recent efforts at sparking a new Green Revolution for Africa are finally awakening observers to the continent’s longstanding need to attend to market development.\r\nThere are multiple reasons to applaud the increased attention being paid to markets for African agricultural development. Enhanced performance of the institutions that govern the exchange of commodities across form (e.g., processing grain into flour), space (i.e., intra- and inter-national trade), and time (i.e., storage) can generate important benefits for low-income agrarian economies. First, the market defines the economic reach of the state. Markets transmit the policy signals sent by central governments through exchange rate, fiscal, monetary and trade policy. When markets function poorly, those signals are distorted or extinguished before they influence firms, households and workers by changing constraints or incentives. Given how much has been invested in trying to improve agricultural and macroeconomic policymaking in Africa over the past generation, it is essential to reinforce whatever improvements have been achieved by enhancing the market institutions that ultimately support effective states.\r\n', 'Christopher B.

Although the Malawian Government heavily supports the development of a modern agricultural sector, it is still dominated by smallholder subsistence farmers. This study is a literature review conducted to identify the cultural, socio-economic as well as demographic factors influencing the trend of agriculture and food security in Malawi. The study has revealed that smallholder farmers in Malawi are hampered by a number of challenges which include weak land tenure systems, poor access to farm inputs, unavailability of labor and gender inequalities, which affects sustainable and inclusive agricultural development. The repercussions of such a situation are that many smallholders are reported to be permanently food insecure and at least 40-60% of the rural households cannot produce enough to keep them for at least five months after the harvest each year. Furthermore, literature has shown that smallholder farming in Malawi is dominated by the aged people and women, whose access to agricultural inputs and resources is limited. In Malawi, the largest proportion of farmers’ overall work is dedicated to maize production, although it is not cost effective to cultivate maize on small pieces of land considering the limited access to inputs. Land tenure systems in Malawi are highly unequal and insecure, contributing to high levels of rural poverty which result in poor agricultural production and hence high levels of food insecurity. The study also found that urbanization is robbing resources from the rural masses that could have contributed to improved agricultural production for the smallholder farmers. These include the loss of rural labor force, loss of agricultural land to cities, unstable family ties and poor nutrition due to low income. These factors negatively contribute to the development of agricultural production. Despite the challenges, the Malawian Government continues to promote smallholder agriculture through a number of initiatives including supportive policies and subscription to regional economic agreements. The study recommends that implementing supportive policies is imperative in order to address the challenges faced by smallholder farmers and to enhance food security in Malawi. \r\nKeywords: Malawi, smallholder farmers, food security, culture, urbanization, land rights', 'Jean Kamwamba-Mtethiwa (2020), Social and economic dimensions of smallholder based agriculture and food security.', 'Jean Kamwamba-Mtethiwa, Social and economic dimensions of smallholder based agriculture and food security(2020).', 'Jean Kamwamba-Mtethiwa (2020), Social and economic dimensions of smallholder based agriculture and food security.', '00003culturaldeographivc.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 8, 25, 3), (560, 'The impact of disasters on agriculture and food security', 'FAO', '2015 ', 'Public Reports', '', '24697', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Between 2003 and 2013, disasters triggered by natural hazards caused USD 1.5 trillion in economic damage1 worldwide. In developing countries alone, these disasters cost about USD 550 billion in estimated damage and affected 2 billion people2. Such disasters often undermine national economic growth and development goals, as well as agriculture sector growth and sustainable sector development. However, there is no clear understanding of the economic impact of disasters on the agriculture sector3. \r\nTo protect development investments in the agriculture sector and strengthen the sector’s resilience to disasters, a clear understanding is needed of the particular way the sector is affected by disasters. However, globally available statistics on damage or losses do not disaggregate the impact on individual sectors. This is largely because the data is not collected and reported in a systematic way by sector at the national or subnational levels. Thus, the full impact of disasters on the agriculture sector is not well understood. Disasters do not affect all people and sectors in the same way or to the same extent, and these differences have important policy implications. \r\nEffective policy and practice requires sector-specific damage and loss data for the agriculture sector. National strategies on disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation that support resilience and sustainable agricultural development must address the types of disasters with the greatest impact on the sector, such as climaterelated disasters. Governments must design measures specific to the crop, livestock, fisheries and forestry subsectors, and be enabled to adopt more systematic strategies that counteract the impact of disasters on sector growth and development and thus national food security. Ultimately, this will contribute to national efforts to achieve sustainable agricultural development, reduce hunger and poverty, and meet the targets set under relevant international commitments.\r\nThe Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) carried out the present study to help fill existing knowledge gaps about the nature and magnitude of disaster impacts triggered by natural hazards on the agriculture sector and subsectors (crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry) in developing countries. The study seeks to provide systematized data, analysis and information, while increasing awareness about the urgent need to enhance national and international commitment and budget allocations to risk reduction for the sector, including improving data collection and monitoring systems on sector-specific damage and losses. \r\nThe ultimate goal is to inform the implementation and monitoring of the three key international agendas of 2015, which recognize resilience as a fundamental ingredient for their achievement: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Goal 2; the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030; and the Universal Climate Change Agreement that is expected under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.\r\n', 'FAO (2015 ), The impact of disasters on agriculture and food security.', 'FAO, The impact of disasters on agriculture and food security(2015 ).', 'FAO (2015 ), The impact of disasters on agriculture and food security.', '00003impactofdisaster.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 7, 14, 3), (561, 'Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis ', 'Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations ', '2016', 'Public Reports', '', '15651', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Early empirical applications of FAO RIMA (Alinovi et al. , 2008; Alinovi et al. , 2010) adopted two-stage Factor Analysis (FA) with Bartlett’s prediction technique.

The resulting market structure gives buyers considerable bargaining strength over their suppliers, with potentially severe implications for the welfare both of producers and consumers (p. 5).” Benefits from growing international trade in agricultural products are believed to have been captured by a few firms that dominate key nodes of the global value chain, to the exclusion of small farmers and producers at the primary level, whilst undermining food affordability at the retail level.\r\nHowever, detailed information about the organization of agro-industry firms engaged in international trade is scarce.

The country is stuck in a deadlock of slow growth which is unequally distributed, where poverty and inequality are two faces of the same coin. Economic inequality is growing significantly: in just seven years between 2004 and 2011, the gap between the richest 10% of Malawians and the poorest 40% increased by almost a third.3 If inequality continues to rise as it has in recent years, by 2020 1.5 million more Malawians will be poor.4 Even rapid economic growth will fail to tackle poverty in the country. A 2015 Oxfam report, A Dangerous Divide – the State of Inequality in Malawi,5 shone a spotlight on the growing problem of inequality. This new paper presents a vision, roadmap and policy recommendations for a more inclusive, equitable and prosperous Malawi. It recognizes that inequality is not inevitable but the result of policy choices made by those with power. The paper shows that to leave no one behind and get on track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the government must commit to policies which prevent the country’s elites from appropriating the benefits of economic growth and instead ensure that benefits are redistributed to all. Breaking out of slow and unequal growth requires government, decision makers, development partners and institutions to work for citizens, especially for those living at the margins, rather than serving powerful vested interests within and outside of Malawi. The success of the roadmap hinges on five pillars: 1. Transparent and accountable government and institutions, and tackling corruption, replacing the political capture of policy making by a powerful minority with inclusive political and economic institutions. 2. A real focus on women’s economic empowerment and gender equality, with an emphasis on the social and cultural norms that act as a brake on progress. 3. Policy and investment to improve livelihoods of the poorest women and men, delivering equitable growth, especially in agriculture. 4. Raising public revenues more progressively, notably from wealthy individuals, domestic and foreign businesses, to reduce inequality and redistribute income; and ensuring sufficient and quality international aid for the short and medium term. 5.

Increases in temperature coupled with more variable precipitation will reduce productivity of crops, and these effects will outweigh the benefits of increasing carbon dioxide. Effects will vary among annual and perennial crops, and regions of the United States; however, all production systems will be affected to some degree by climate change. Agricultural systems depend upon reliable water sources, and the pattern and potential magnitude of precipitation changes is not well understood, thus adding considerable uncertainty to assessment efforts. \r\nLivestock production systems are vulnerable to temperature stresses. An animal’s ability to adjust its metabolic rate to cope with temperature extremes can lead to reduced productivity and in extreme cases death. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures will also further increase production costs and productivity losses associated with all animal products, e.g., meat, eggs, and milk. \r\nProjections for crops and livestock production systems reveal that climate change effects over the next 25 years will be mixed. The continued degree of change in the climate by midcentury and beyond is expected to have overall detrimental effects on most crops and livestock. \r\nClimate change will exacerbate current biotic stresses on agricultural plants and animals. Changing pressures associated with weeds, diseases, and insect pests, together with potential changes in timing and coincidence of pollinator lifecycles, will affect growth and yields. The potential magnitude of these effects is not yet well understood. For example, while some pest insects will thrive under increasing air temperatures, warming temperatures may force others out of their current geographical ranges. Several weeds have shown a greater response to carbon dioxide relative to crops; understanding these \r\nphysiological and genetic responses may help guide future enhancements to weed management. \r\nAgriculture is dependent on a wide range of ecosystem processes that support productivity including maintenance of soil quality and regulation of water quality and quantity. Multiple stressors, including climate change, increasingly compromise the ability of ecosystems to provide these services. Key near-term climate change effects on agricultural soil and water resources include the potential for increased soil erosion through extreme precipitation events, as well as regional and seasonal changes in the availability of water resources for both rain-fed and irrigated agriculture. \r\nThe predicted higher incidence of extreme weather events will have an increasing influence on agricultural productivity. Extremes matter because agricultural productivity is driven largely by environmental conditions during critical threshold periods of crop and livestock development. Improved assessment of climate change effects on agricultural productivity requires greater integration of extreme events into crop and economic models', 'USDA (2013), Climate Change and Agriculture in the United States: Effects and Adaptation.', 'USDA, Climate Change and Agriculture in the United States: Effects and Adaptation(2013).', 'USDA (2013), Climate Change and Agriculture in the United States: Effects and Adaptation.', '00008climatechangeandagrk.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 4, 21, 3), (566, 'The 2012 Global AIDS Response Progress Report: Malawi Country Report for 2010-2011', 'Malawi Government', '2012', 'Government Reports', '', '33039', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Malawi continues to register significant progress in the national response to HIV as evidenced by results highlighted in this report. The 2012 AIDS Response Progress Report provides evidence that Malawi continues to register progress in the areas of prevention; treatment, care and support; and impact mitigation. This has been facilitated by development, implementation and monitoring of evidence based policies and strategies in the response to HIV and AIDS, among other factors. \r\nThe period 2004 to 2010 saw the decline in the national HIV prevalence from 12% to 10.6%. This reduction is encouraging although more work still needs to be done in order to continue decreasing the number of new infections, which is still quite high at the moment. Malawi has produced a comprehensive National HIV Prevention Strategy (2009-2013) with an implementation plan that seeks to consolidate all prevention interventions in one single coherent framework with clear management and implementation mandates. \r\nThe period under review also saw a number of key documents being reviewed and developed. Some of these are: the HIV and AIDS Policy that has been reviewed and finalized and is awaiting approval; the National HIV and AIDS Strategic Plan (2011-2016); the Male Circumcision Policy; and, the new M&E Plan (2011-2016). All these have been produced in order to ensure that the National Response to HIV and AIDS remains focused and produces tangible results. \r\nThe 2012 Response report therefore comes at an opportune time where we can review the achievements and challenges that the country has registered and encountered, so that we can consolidate the gains and effectively address the challenges identified.

Understandably, farmers tend not to want to adopt new varieties if there is no market for the output. There are two main potential markets, industrial and local. Industrial markets (agro-processing and food manufacture) require standardised and uniform produce in high and consistent volumes. In most cases, an external agent is responsible for facilitating and/or coordinating access to industrial markets. Conversely, local markets communicate the need for more diverse produce at different times of the year. This requires diverse varieties and localised experimentation to develop context-specific adaptations to meet changing local demands. Research and development (R&D) will be shaped by these different needs, depending on the focus of the intervention. Industrial markets will focus on standardised products with high yields. Local markets will focus on local adaptation and diversity, which is more amenable to direct producer control. While the promise of lucrative markets for introduced varieties often convinces farmers to try new varieties, widespread experience indicates that these markets often do not materialise and farmers are left with excess product which they cannot use or sell. The pigeon pea project distributed certified varieties only, as did agro-dealers, due to seed laws that prohibit the sale of non-certified varieties. The project did not allow for farmer seed production and farmers became the passive recipients of crops and varieties which were decided without their involvement. An alternative approach could be to include farmers in the R&D and production processes, as well as in discussions about the crops and varieties they would prefer to use. These might be certified varieties from the public sector or locally enhanced varieties with farmer-based quality controls. The latter option makes more sense because it is cheaper and the seed adapts more easily to local conditions. Farmer \r\nvarieties will also have a longer history of local consumption. Pigeon pea has added value in that it improves soil fertility, adds nutritional diversity and has a potential economic benefit for producers if markets can be secured. However, the pigeon pea project emphasised formal, commercial markets for products that are not consumed locally. From a soil improvement point of view, the project set unrealistic goals of complete self-sustainability after three years. Since soil fertility enhancement takes time, farmers were not able to incorporate this potential benefit into their assessment of whether or not it would be useful to continue planting pigeon pea after the end of the project. The introduction of pigeon pea without first discussing with farmers and consumers about which legumes they favoured—and in at least some of these areas pigeon pea had not been consumed historically—resulted in an inappropriate intervention. A better starting point would have been to assess the diversity of legumes in a given area, and to orient support towards re-establishing or strengthening the presence of these legumes, based on farmer priorities. But because pigeon pea had been identified and developed at a national level, this was the only choice farmers were given. Legume use also needs to be integrated with other agro-ecological practices for soil fertility; it cannot succeed on its own.', 'The African Centre for Biodiversity (2016), GREEN REVOLUTION DEAD-END IN MALAWI: Two Case Studies— AGRA’s Pigeon Pea Project and Malawi’s Agro-Dealer Strengthening Programme (MASP).', 'The African Centre for Biodiversity, GREEN REVOLUTION DEAD-END IN MALAWI: Two Case Studies— AGRA’s Pigeon Pea Project and Malawi’s Agro-Dealer Strengthening Programme (MASP)(2016).', 'The African Centre for Biodiversity (2016), GREEN REVOLUTION DEAD-END IN MALAWI: Two Case Studies— AGRA’s Pigeon Pea Project and Malawi’s Agro-Dealer Strengthening Programme (MASP).', '00008greenresolution.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 3, 7, 3), (568, 'Constraints, Challenges, and Opportunities in Groundnut Production and Marketing in Malawi', 'Isaac Minde, Oswin Madzonga, George Kantithi, Kazombo Phiri and Tarisayi Pedzisa', '2008', 'Public Reports', '', '58760', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Malawi is a landlocked country in southern Africa bordered by Tanzania, Mozambique, and Zambia and covers an area of about 118,000 km2. The country is a member of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) communities in addition to being part of the African Union (AU). It has a population of approximately 14 million people of which 51% are women. The country has one of the highest population densities in Africa and a population growth rate of about 2.4% (GoM 2005a). \r\nMalawi’s progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) has been limited by the spread of HIV/AIDS and the inadequacy of the structural adjustment programs implemented in the 1980s and 1990s to create the conditions for broad-based economic growth. To learn from past mistakes and achieve meaningful poverty reduction, the government launched the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS) in 2006. The fi ve central pillars of the strategy are: sustainable economic growth, social development, infrastructure development, protection for the most vulnerable, and good governance.\r\nMalawi’s economy is dependent on agriculture as the country has very few exploitable mineral resources. Agriculture, representing 39% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), accounts for more than 80% of the labor force and about 80% of all exports (USAID 2007). The current GDP per capita is about US$170 and the latest human development index is 0.388, showing that close to two thirds of the population live in poverty, the majority of whom are women. According to the Integrated Household Survey of 2004/05 (GoM 2005a),the current status of poverty shows that 52.4% of the population lives below the poverty line; ie, about 6.3 million Malawians are poor, with the poorest people living in the southern region and with rural areas poorer than urban (where poverty rates are at 25%). The socioeconomic indicators of the poor are low, with food security being a continuing threat to better life. Income inequality as measured by the Gini coeffi cient stands at 0.52 for urban areas and 0.37 for rural areas, meaning that income inequality is very high (GoM 2007).\r\n', 'Isaac Minde, Oswin Madzonga, George Kantithi, Kazombo Phiri and Tarisayi Pedzisa (2008), Constraints, Challenges, and Opportunities in Groundnut Production and Marketing in Malawi.', 'Isaac Minde, Oswin Madzonga, George Kantithi, Kazombo Phiri and Tarisayi Pedzisa, Constraints, Challenges, and Opportunities in Groundnut Production and Marketing in Malawi(2008).', 'Isaac Minde, Oswin Madzonga, George Kantithi, Kazombo Phiri and Tarisayi Pedzisa (2008), Constraints, Challenges, and Opportunities in Groundnut Production and Marketing in Malawi.', '00009constraintsandoppgrond.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 4, 10, 3), (569, 'Improving Access and Utilization of Fertilizers by Smallholder Farmers in the Limpopo Province of South Africa', 'Isaac Minde, Tarisayi Pedzisa and John Dimes', '2008', 'Public Reports', '', '88701', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Africa is a rural continent and agriculture is by far its most important economic sector. More than 70% of Africa’s population is directly engaged in agriculture. Traditionally, farmers have cleared land, grown a few crops, and then moved on to clear more land, leaving the land fallow to regain its fertility (Sanchez 2002). However, the 3% annual growth in population − among the world’s highest − now forces farmers to grow crop after crop on the same land, “mining” or depleting mineral nutrients from the soil while giving nothing back, and to bring marginal land into production (Africa News Network 2007).\r\nToday Africa faces a soil fertility crisis. African soils are losing an estimated $4 billion worth of soil nutrients annually. Three-fourths of the farmland in sub-Saharan Africa is plagued by severe nutrient depletion and 46% of the African continent suffers from desertification. African farmers desperately need mineral fertilizers to bring life back to the depleted soils and to feed the continent (African Fertilizer Summit 2006). Improving agriculture through improving soil fertility is an important priority for the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), Africa’s development framework. NEPAD promoters held a Fertilizer Summit in Abuja, Nigeria, that brought together heads of state and diverse stakeholders (African Renewal 2007), who subsequently adopted 12 action points that included taking concrete steps to improve farmers’ access to fertilizers by developing agro-dealer networks in rural areas by 2007.\r\nAgricultural production in sub-Saharan Africa is hampered by low use of inputs such as improved seeds and mineral fertilizers, low inherent soil fertility in much of the continent, and nutrient-depleted soils. Millions of smallholder farmers suffer from poverty and hunger not only because are they unable to obtain appropriate fertilizers and improved seed varieties, but also because they are unaware of the correct inputs required to achieve subsistence yields from increasingly depleted soils (Ruben and Lee 2000). Fertilizers are the key to alleviating these constraints but must be integrated with other inputs and proper soil management for their economic potential to be realized (Adesina 2001). Organic fertilizers such as plant residues or livestock manure can also be used to supply plant nutrients. This can have long-term positive effects on soil fertility though the concentation of nutrients is low. Improvement in crop growth and yield greatly depends on the efforts towards improving soil fertility. Mineral fertilizers are the only practical way to restore plant nutrients back to the severly depleted soils. However, African farmers have little access to fertilizers and cannot always afford them (Sachs 2008). It is critical to address the issue of fertilizer accessibility and availability as well as ensuring fair prices for farm products.\r\nIn most parts of the Limpopo Province of South Africa, crop yields are poor and continue to decline. This can be explained by declining soil fertility which has been identified as a major production constraint to the smallscale farmers (Sanchez et al. 1997; Ramaru et al. 2000). The situation is aggravated by the monoculture of maize and sorghum which are the staple crops in relatively wetter and drier areas respectively. Farmers have identified soil erosion, poor soil type, lack of fertilizer and lack of manure as factors that greatly contribute to low soil fertility. In most instances, low productivity is attributed to inadequate soil moisture during the growing season (Ayisi 2005). However, it was established by Odhiambo (2005) that crop growth and yield is often poor even in areas with adequate amounts and proper distribution of rainfall or even under irrigated conditions. This reveals the fact that other factors, besides water, contribute to low crop productivity; these include soil fertility and crop management practices. \r\nIn response to the aforementioned constraints, a consortium of partners − the International Crop Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), SASOL Nitro, Progress Milling, and the Limpopo Agricultural Strategy Team (LIMPAST) teamed up to design a program aimed at providing small packs of fertilizers of various sizes to a select number of Progress Milling depots. It was deemed that the small packs would be convenient in two ways: first, it would be affordable to many who could not meet the full cost of the traditional 50 kg bags and, second, it would create convenient access to farmers as the fertilizer would be sent to a depot close to them.

Implemented by GTZ (now GIZ) on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) between 1996 and 2003 (with a 12-month extension supported by the European Union), the IFSP’s end-line evaluation reported that the intervention had achieved its objectives. It was noted that “the programme made a significant contribution to the food security of the people in the impact area,” and that “the approach taken…was good” (DeGabriele 2004a, p. 4). \r\nThat being the case, why revisit it now? In part, because it is useful to consider whether gains made in the past have been sustained. But more broadly it is because there are lessons to be drawn from this example that may contribute to new thinking on models of integrated, multisectoral programming updated for the twenty-first century. This review comes at a time of renewed attention to food security and nutrition as priority development challenges, on the one hand, and to the potential for integrated programming (that links agriculture, nutrition, and health), on the other hand. A heightened focus on food security, particularly since the upward pressures on food prices globally since 2007, has led to a flurry of responses, including group commitments like those made by G-20 leaders at the 2009 L’Aquila Summit (US$22 billion over three years to agriculture and nutrition), as well as other contributions to food security trust funds like the European Union’s Food Faculty and the World Bank-managed Global Food Crisis Response Facility. It also \r\nresulted in a reorientation of priorities among some individual donors, such as the US Feed the Future initiative (USG 2010), which puts a premium on tackling low productivity in agriculture and low productivity in people due to malnutrition and ill health. Similarly, the British government recently acknowledged nutrition as an integral element of any actions taken to tackle food insecurity (DFID 2010). \r\nBut how best to “integrate” actions across sectors? Recent efforts to collate empirical evidence of programmatic and policy effectiveness have included the 2008 Lancet series on maternal and child undernutrition, the World Bank’s costing exercises on how to scale up nutrition actions (Horton et. al. 2010), and related nutrition landscaping exercises by WHO, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Scaling Up Nutrition alliance (SCN 2010). Additional reviews have focused on agricultural effectiveness (Timmer 2009; IFPRI 2009), the quality and role of food aid programming (Webb et al. 2011), and the potential for leveraging agriculture to support gains in health and nutrition (Fan and Brzeska 2011). \r\nEach of these increasingly convergent agendas has recognized two core principles: food security can only be effectively achieved through joint, coordinated action that addresses agricultural productivity, nutrition, health, and natural resource management simultaneously; and country ownership and local capacity have to be enhanced if any gains in agriculture or nutrition are to be sustained. As argued by the UN Standing Committee on Nutrition (UN/SCN 2009, p. 1), “food security approaches to nutrition require systemic, multidisciplinary and inter-sectoral approaches.”2\r\n', 'Patrick Webb (2011), Achieving Food and Nutrition Security: Lessons Learned from the Integrated Food Security Programme (IFSP), Mulanje, Malawi .', 'Patrick Webb, Achieving Food and Nutrition Security: Lessons Learned from the Integrated Food Security Programme (IFSP), Mulanje, Malawi (2011).', 'Patrick Webb (2011), Achieving Food and Nutrition Security: Lessons Learned from the Integrated Food Security Programme (IFSP), Mulanje, Malawi .', '00012achiviengfoodandnutrition2011.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 10, 25, 3), (576, 'Integrated Agriculture and Aquaculture Systems (IAA) for Enhanced Food Production and Income Diversification in Tanzania ', 'Deogratias Mulokozi', '2021', 'Dissertations', '', '57083', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Aquaculture production in Tanzania has increased in recent years, responding to an increased demand for fish, partly because of an increasing population and declining catches of wild fish. However, the current aquaculture production is still low, dominated by small scale farming systems, that are struggling with a number of challenges such as lack of improved fish breeds, feeds, technical skills and low adoption rates. This thesis aims to assess the status of fish pond farming with a focus on integrated agriculture and aquaculture (IAA) systems in Tanzania, and to provide guidance on how these systems could be further developed to help local farmers to diversify their food production and income generation. Methodologies included field observations, interviews, structured questionnaires, field experiments and laboratory analyses. Two field surveys in six districts and seven regions of Tanzania provided insights on the current status and the contribution of small-scale pond farming and IAA to household income and food production. Differences between IAA and non-IAA fish farming practices, and their influence on farm productivity and profitability were assessed. Also, opportunities, constraints and farmers’ future plans for fish farming were explored. Two field experiments were conducted on selected IAA systems identified during the surveys. One assessed the effect of including amaranth (Amaranthus hybridus) waste in locally produced fish feed on the yield of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Another investigated how the combination of different vegetables (A. hybridus and Brassica rapa pekinensis) and stocking densities of O. niloticus affected the water use efficiency, need for synthetic fertilizers and overall farm productivity and profitability. The results show that small scale fish farming contributed with 13% of the farmers’ income. 38% of the fish was used for consumption and the remaining part was sold, contributing to both food security and livelihood diversification. Integration of tilapia and vegetables was the most common type of IAA system applied. Local feed ingredients contained medium to high content of crude protein, with high fat content in some animal by-products. The fish yield from the IAA ponds was 60% higher compared to non-IAA ponds because of a more frequent use of on-farm resources and better management. The net income from IAA ponds was 175% higher compared to non-IAA ponds, due to reduced costs and higher yields. Major constraints included water problems, lack of technical skills and good quality fish seeds and feeds. Overall, fish farmers had a positive attitude towards fish farming and the majority were willing to continue with fish farming, with IAA farmers being more positive than non-IAA farmers. The use of amaranth wastes as a fish feed ingredient in a tilapia-amaranth integrated system did not affect the fish growth and yield, but rather improved the feed conversion ratio. The multiple use of water in integrated tilapia-vegetable systems increased the water use efficiency and reduced the need for synthetic fertilizers. Although water from high fish stocking densities increased the vegetable yield, the overall farm productivity in the IAA system was negatively affected because of low fish growth and survival rates. Since agriculture is already popular and fish farming is expanding, promotion of IAA systems could provide an entry point for an increased adoption of aquaculture among rural farmers.\r\nKeywords: Smallholder farmers, Oreochromis niloticus, Amaranthus hybridus, food production, household income diversification, water use efficiency, farm net income', 'Deogratias Mulokozi (2021), Integrated Agriculture and Aquaculture Systems (IAA) for Enhanced Food Production and Income Diversification in Tanzania .', 'Deogratias Mulokozi, Integrated Agriculture and Aquaculture Systems (IAA) for Enhanced Food Production and Income Diversification in Tanzania (2021).', 'Deogratias Mulokozi (2021), Integrated Agriculture and Aquaculture Systems (IAA) for Enhanced Food Production and Income Diversification in Tanzania .', '00013intergratedagrculture2021.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 23, 60, 3), (577, 'GLOBAL BUSINESS NETWORK FOR SOCIAL PROTECTION FLOORS ', 'ILO', '2021', 'Public Reports', '', '87585', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', '', 'ILO (2021), GLOBAL BUSINESS NETWORK FOR SOCIAL PROTECTION FLOORS .', 'ILO, GLOBAL BUSINESS NETWORK FOR SOCIAL PROTECTION FLOORS (2021).', 'ILO (2021), GLOBAL BUSINESS NETWORK FOR SOCIAL PROTECTION FLOORS .', '00014globalbusinessnetworks2017.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 5, 12, 3), (578, 'Global Drylands: A UN system-wide response ', 'the Environment Management Group', '2011', 'Public Reports', '', '73245', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Global Drylands: A UN system-wide response sets out for the first time a coherent strategy by the United Nations to address the special needs of drylands from the perspective of the environment and human settlements. \r\nPrepared by members of the UN Environment Management Group (EMG), the report responds to calls by governments for a UN system-wide response to land challenges.

These programs are designed to address the various challenges in the region such as low productivity, poor market access, weak national capacities, and a lack of enabling policies and institutions. The six stories in this 2008 Annual Report have their roots in at least one of the three regional programs.

Each booklet focuses on a farm or non-farm enterprise that can be integrated into small farms to increase incomes and enhance livelihoods. The enterprises profiled in the FAO Diversification booklets are suitable for smallholder farmers in terms of resource requirements, additional costs, exposure to risk and complexity. The products or services generated by the enterprises are suitable for meeting demand on a growing, or already strong, local market and are not dependent on an export market. The main target audience for these booklets are people and organizations that provide advisory, business and technical support services to resourcepoor small-scale farmers and local communities in low- and middle-income countries. It is hoped that enough information is given to help these support service providers to consider new income-generating opportunities and how these might enable small-scale farmers to take action. What are the potential benefits? What are farmer requirements and constraints? What are critical ‘success factors’? The FAO Diversification booklets are also targeted to policy-makers and programme managers in government and non-governmental organizations. What actions might policy-makers take to create enabling environments for small-scale farmers to diversify into new income-generating activities? The FAO Diversification booklets are not intended to be technical ‘how to do it’ guidelines. Readers will need to seek more information or technical support, so as to provide farmer advisory and support activities relating to the introduction of new income-generating activities. To assist in this respect, each booklet identifies additional sources of information, technical support and website addresses. A CD has been prepared with a full series of FAO Diversification booklets and FAO technical guides, together with complementary guides on market research, financing, business planning, etc. Copies of the CD are available on request from FAO.

Under the MGDS II, the GoM has committed to raise agricultural growth by at least 6.0 percent and keep the national budget allocated to agriculture to at least 10 percent, in compliance with the CAADP. To achieve these goals, the GoM has adopted the Agricultural Development Plan (ADP), embraced in the Agriculture-Sector Wide Approach (A-SWAp). \r\nThe agricultural sector in Malawi is dominated by smallholder farmers with low productivity. Considering the small size of the country and the limited availability of arable/crop land, there is a need to raise productivity through agricultural intensification. A key tenet to raising productivity and production to achieve the agricultural growth rates of the A-SWAp is the adoption of improved technologies such as integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) and modern cropping practices, while in the process, increasing smallholder farmers’ incomes. This report provides information and estimates of fertilizer consumption levels necessary to achieve the A-SWAp growth rate that will contribute to reaching the targets of the MGDS II by 2016. It also analyzes the challenges in the supply chain and recommends policies that will support the increased levels of projected fertilizer consumption. \r\nThe estimates in this assessment indicate that Malawi must double its consumption from 297,000 metric tons (mt) of fertilizer products to 600,000 mt annually in order to meet the agriculture sector growth targets by 2016. This level of fertilizer use will require addressing existing constraints in the supply chain so that larger volumes of products can be handled without significant issues. This includes addressing bottlenecks in the procurement of fertilizer and logistics and financing issues as well as research and extension services for agro-dealer and farmer capacity building.

The programme has four main objectives:\r\n• Collect, assemble and use targeted and policyrelevant data including prices, market access costs and public expenditure in support of the food and agriculture sector, as well as policy decisions;\r\n• Consolidate and strengthen national policy monitoring systems to measure policy effects and identify current policy ‘problems’ that affect the competitiveness of agricultural producers;\r\n• Articulate policy options and assess respective ex-post and ex-ante analysis to support suitable government reforms;\r\n• Engage national stakeholders and development partners in policy dialogue as part of a more inclusive policy reform process.\r\nSince 2009, FAO’s MAFAP programme has been working in several developing countries to create sustainable policy monitoring systems and carry out a consistent set of policy and public expenditure analyses across a wide range of agricultural value chains.\r\nTo do this, MAFAP works with national partners to build capacity and systematically analyse the impact of food and agriculture policies and public expenditure on market incentives and disincentives faced by producers and other actors in key agricultural value chains. MAFAP analyses are used to inform targeted food and agricultural policy reforms that will result in a more conducive environment for agricultural investment and productivity growth, especially for smallholder farmers.\r\nMAFAP’s quantitative indicators are comparable across commodities, countries and over time. They provide sound evidence to support informed policy dialogue at national, regional and international levels, and can therefore be used to advocate for policy reforms when and where they are needed. Moreover, the common set of indicators makes it easier to understand how different food and agricultural policies work in various contexts.\r\nThis report constitutes the first compendium of the policy monitoring and analysis work undertaken in the \r\nframework of MAFAP in Malawi. It offers an overview of MAFAP results based on a rigorous methodology for measuring the effects of agricultural and food policies on agriculture and rural development, for analysing the level and composition of public expenditure allocated to food and agriculture and analysing the policy coherence. The approach is novel as it has not been used in Malawi before. The report establishes a baseline to support the dialogue on such policies in Malawi among key decision makers and with development partners. This MAFAP report seeks to: (1) establish a baseline for a monitoring system to measure policy effects; (2) provide evidence based information on policy effects and public expenditure allocated to food and agriculture; (3) identify current policy constraints to agricultural development; (4) inform and engage policy dialogue, especially on the key constraints on production incentives for farmers or accelerated development of specific value chains; and (5) promote a more inclusive policy reform process. However, the report alone is not intended to advocate for particular reforms: according to the MAFAP phase II (2014–2019) approach, such changes must be endogenous, and if they take place, must result from an intensive and highly consultative dialogue on government policies, primarily with the government but also among other stakeholders in the country.', 'Monitoring and Analysing Food and Agricultural Policies (MAFAP) (2015), Review of food and agricultural policies in Malawi .', 'Monitoring and Analysing Food and Agricultural Policies (MAFAP), Review of food and agricultural policies in Malawi (2015).', 'Monitoring and Analysing Food and Agricultural Policies (MAFAP) (2015), Review of food and agricultural policies in Malawi .', '000019reviewoffood.PNG', 'Neytech Solutions', 23, 40, 3), (587, 'The Analysis on Fama and French Asset- Pricing Model to select stocks in Tehran Security and Exchange Organization (TSEO)', 'Mohammad Mehdi Kianpoora,b,* , Ali Dehghanic', '2015', 'Public Reports', '', '36860', '2022-12-21 00:00:00', 'Employing quantitative techniques has been dramatically increased in financing industry during 20 recent years.

The\r\ncontribution of the agriculture sector in Malawi has been fairly stable over time, accounting for\r\nmore than one-third of gross domestic product. However, the performance has been mixed in terms\r\nof growth rates, with more growth witnessed in the 1960s and 1970s and erratic growth rates in\r\nsubsequent periods. The analysis also shows no significant link between the growth in the agricultural\r\nsector and indicators of poverty such as malnutrition rates and poverty head count ratio. The\r\ndisappointing performance of the agriculture sector can be attributed to many factors including\r\ndeclining farm productivity, rain-fed nature of cultivation and associated exogenous shocks, thin\r\nagricultural markets, policy reversals and associated uncertainties, and declining public investments\r\nin the agricultural sector.

This is a longstanding\r\ncommon law notion. That duty, as the flattery from the Director of Public Prosecution beyond measure lavished, I, like all judicial officers, have\r\ndischarged. Where, however, there is a real possibility of bias, there is a compelling duty to recuse – but only where there is an appearance (from\r\nthe viewpoint of a fair-minded and informed observer) of bias. What concerns is the confidence which courts in a democratic society must inspire\r\nin the public and the parties.\r\n The Director of Public Prosecution, however, never proved conduct on which to base bias. Assuming the Director of Public\r\nProsecutions did, the conduct never amounts to one on which a judge’s impartiality is questioned and on which a judge should recuse. Moreover,\r\nthe comments the Director of Public Prosecution relies on are so remote in space and time – seven months after.

After being questioned, Sitenala, who subsequently\r\ndied in custody while awaiting trial, revealed that he perpetrated the murders with his\r\nfriend Bokhobokho, the 1st appellant.

It was officially launched in 2002 as\r\na successor to the Organization of African Unity (OAU), which ran from\r\n1963 to1999. The decision to re-launch Africa’s pan-African organisation\r\nwas the outcome of a consensus by African leaders that in order to\r\nrealise Africa’s potential, there was a need to re-focus attention from the\r\nfight for decolonisation and ridding the continent of apartheid hitherto\r\npursued under the OAU, towards increased cooperation and integration\r\nof African states to drive Africa’s growth and economic development.\r\nThe AU is guided by its vision of An integrated, prosperous and peaceful\r\nAfrica, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in\r\nthe global arena [1].\r\nTo realise this vision, the Africa Union developed and adopted a\r\n50-year strategic plan called Agenda 2063 [2]. Agenda 2063 is the\r\ncontinent’s strategic framework that aims to deliver on its goal for\r\ninclusive and sustainable development and is a concrete manifestation\r\nof the pan-African drive for unity, self-determination, freedom, progress\r\nand collective prosperity pursued under Pan-Africanism and African\r\nRenaissance.\r\nThe AU has been steadfast in proposing more enabling and sciencebased approaches to the challenges of the continent.

He warned of the perils ahead, ending his note, \"in the name of God, let Palestine be left alone.\" Thus Rashid Khalidi, al-Khalidi\'s great-great-nephew, begins this sweeping history, the first general account of the conflict told from an explicitly Palestinian perspective.\r\nDrawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members--mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists--The Hundred Years\' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age. He highlights the key episodes in this colonial campaign, from the 1917 Balfour Declaration to the destruction of Palestine in 1948, from Israel\'s 1982 invasion of Lebanon to the endless and futile peace process.\r\nOriginal, authoritative, and important, The Hundred Years\' War on Palestine is not a chronicle of victimization, nor does it whitewash the mistakes of Palestinian leaders or deny the emergence of national movements on both sides.
