Action Plan 3
Malawi’s second action plan advanced key government anti-corruption reforms by increasing transparency around public contracts, beneficial ownership, and natural resources. Progress centered on strengthening laws and institutions expected to open government to citizens in the longer term. During implementation, Malawi formed its National Steering Committee and Technical Working Groups.
Malawi has made considerable progress in advancing public procurement by strengthening its legal frameworks, digitizing the process, and linking this data to beneficial ownership information.

Despite positive steps taken on international, regional and national levels to promote strategies for women’s economic empowerment and inclusion, evidence still suggests that women are being excluded from public procurement processes.
