Malawi: Strategic Country Gender Assessment (SCGA)
1 June 2003
Naomi Ngwira, Garton Kamchedzera, Linda Semu
This is a report of a strategic country gender assessment (SCGA) on Malawi. In 2001, the World Bank developed a country-wide gender strategy that called on all countries to undertake country gender assessments in recognition of the importance of gender in poverty reduction, economic growth and human well-being.
The Malawi SCGA presents a unique case of collaboration amongst Malawi’s development partners. The World Bank and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) have provided financial and technical assistance in the conceptualization and implementation of the country assessment. While responding to the Bank and the UNDP’s priorities, the Malawi SCGA addresses key areas for intervention by the Malawi Government and the Development Assistance on Group Gender (DAGG). The SCGA therefore provides an opportunity for partnership amongst various players, new program development, key messages to policy makers, as well as a chance to operationalize gender as a crosscutting issue.
