Output to Purpose Annual Review: Tikambirane Programme, DFID Malawi
Requested by: S Matenje, DFID Malawi, 2008
Project documents: terms of reference | report

The Tikambirane Programme, launched in 2003, is DFID’s main governance programme in Malawi. It works towards accountable and responsive governance with components focused on gender equality, strengthening parliament and electoral systems and addressing media bias.

The 2008 Output to Purpose Annual Review (OPR) of the programme confirmed the broadly positive direction of the previous review, and found progress occurring across most programme components, although to varying extents. Achievements for 2007 – 2008 include high quality contribution to the Election Task Force which has made DFID an indispensable donor ahead of 2009 elections. The start up of direct financial aid to parliament in support of the strategic plan, and of a curriculum on budget issues for journalism students under the Canadian International Development Agency Programme on Economic Governance (CIDA PEG) Project, demonstrates a focus on sustainability and long term strategic thinking.
