Malawi National Guidelines

The Government of Malawi has been working with its development partners to bring about economic growth and alleviate poverty in the country. One of the recent initiatives is the Shire River Basin Management Program. The program is a flagship World Bank financed activity for Malawi, given the importance of the Shire River Basin in the economy of Malawi.

The overall Program Development Objective of the Shire River Basin Management Program (SRBMP) is to increase sustainable social, economic and environmental benefits by effectively and collaboratively planning, developing and managing the Shire River Basin’s natural resources. The SRBMP will have an initial duration of 15 years.
