Resumen

This National Social Support Programme is the second document developed by the Government of Malawi to confirm its commitment to delivering social support by (i) providing income and consumption transfers to the poor and food insecure; (ii) protecting the vulnerable against livelihood risks; and (iii) enhancing the social status and rights of the marginalized. The first Malawi National Social Support Programme (MNSSP) was developed in 2013. It is a 5-year nationwide sectoral document aiming at reducing poverty and enable the poor to move out of vulnerability in order to achieve the Vision of an enhanced quality of life for those suffering from poverty and hunger, and improved resilience for those who are vulnerable to risks and shocks. To achieve the aforementioned goal and Vision, the following strategic objectives have to be realized (i) provide welfare support to those who are unable to construct viable livelihoods; (ii) protect the assets and improve the resilience of poor and vulnerable households; (iii) improve the productive capacity and asset base of poor and vulnerable households; and (iv) establish coherent and progressive social support synergies between economic and social policies and disaster risk reduction. Three thematic pillars have been identified and most households require support across the three pillars, they are: Pillar 1: Consumption support to enable households to meet their basic needs; Pillar 2: Resilient livelihoods support to develop viable livelihood strategies such as training and facilitating the access pro-poor markets; and Pillar 3: Shock-sensitive social protection to ensure protection against shocks by preventing, mitigating, and, if needed, responding swiftly to shocks.
