Résumé

The Malawi Poverty Reduction Strategy (MPRS) is the overarching strategy that will form the basis for all future activities by all stakeholders, including Government. The overall goal of the MPRS is to achieve “sustainable poverty reduction through empowerment of the poor”. Rather than regarding the poor as helpless victims of poverty in need of hand-outs and passive recipients of trickle-down growth, the MPRS sees them as active participants in economic development. The MPRS also emphasizes prioritization and action. The MPRS is built around four pillars. These pillars are the main strategic components grouping the various activities and policies into a coherent framework for poverty reduction. Pillar 1 promotes rapid sustainable pro-poor economic growth and structural transformation; Pillar 2 enhances human capital development; Pillar 3 improves the quality of life of the most vulnerable; Pillar 4 promotes good governance. The MPRS also mainstreams key cross cutting issues such as HIV/AIDS, gender, environment, and science and technology. Higher education institutions will introduce programmes in non-traditional subjects such as science and technology, gender, food security, human rights, biodiversity and HIV/AIDS, among others. This will involve the establishment of adequate research centres that would be addressing emergent development issues, providing grants to graduate students so that they participate in teaching undergraduate courses and as research assistants (pag. 55).
