This paper gives a comparative Malawian perspective on the debate on the impact of PRSP processes in the region, especially their intended objectives and impact. In particular it maps out a civil society perspective on the way forward in the face of growing and worsening levels of poverty. It draws heavily on recent history to underline two simple facts. First, every country's political culture draws heavily on its past and second, in Malawi we have a laudable history of resistance.
The paper provides a brief overview of some of the experiences and general attitudes of stakeholders in Malawi. It includes an overview of the political environment in the country, and hints at the possibility of civil society advocating and influencing some positive changes through shifts in the policy environment within requisite sectors. It also provides an overview of some more technical issues considered in various tracking efforts, and of the feedback process needed to ensure that the work has impact on future budget allocations and policy decisions.
