Development Matters

Malawi is a small country with
great but unrealised potential.

Following a golden era in the 1970s, successive governments have struggled to deliver sustained economic growth and prosperity. In Development Matters: Malawi at the Crossroads, Harvard and Oxford University educated economist Taz Chaponda explores the following questions. Can Malawi achieve meaningful development in our lifetime or shall it remain at the bottom of the global development tables? Why has political pluralism failed to deliver social progress, and who is driving the development agenda? As Malawi turns fifty, the author provides a clear agenda for the future.
