If we can take a look critically W.Bank is not missing the point, besides that these are just some of the points raised by the world bank,and i will even try to add some of the crucial points ommited from the above list,not neccessarilly bad to the government but those people who were given a chance to let people know about this vital TIP did not want to include them all on this list. However, some knowledgeable members from various angles totally different from that of government are working on it.we should really give thanks to world bank by letting… Read more »

Apparently, the World Bank, and its likes, will never be satisfied until all of us Malawians, or Africans for that matter, are always on our knees begging. Begging for resources and knowledge from them. What does Ms. Chuhan-Pole think of the numerous farm subsidies in the US and other rich countries? You can criticize some of our structural deficiencies. But leave our subsidies, like FISP alone. Don’t touch them. May be visiting consultants should step out of their Range Rovers, sometimes, and ask the subsistence farmer in the village about his/her opinions. And economics textbooks do not always tell the… Read more »

The biggest problem people deliberately ignore in this country is overpopulation! This country needs tough laws with regards to having a child like the ones imposed in china in the seventies! One family one child policy! It sounds inhumane but interesting next 10 years this country will not have any resources to support thus population. Most people are unemployed already, the employed are heavily taxed to cater for the majority poor. All these things fisp etc are very much linked to overpopulation.

‘…the subsidy programme has failed to reduce household poverty due to its ernomous flaws in its design’…well should this be the case, which is likely, then, the answer is not the bla bla bla above. the answer is to help the govt ‘design it better’…Times often advices from these big western institutions are mostly empty as they are more of academic than practical.

World Bank has clear partisan business interests. Their advice should be taken with a pinch of salt. it is like a gold digger – when she says “you are handsome, you look sexy, admirable” or if she is too available to make you feel big, TAKE CARE OF YOUR WALLET.
