in 1996. Malawi, with a population of 13 million, is a low
income country with one of the lowest per capita incomes in
Sub-Saharan Africa. Malawi continues to face a variety of
social, economic, political and administrative challenges
including high inflation, low salaries/pensions of public
officials, chronic resource shortages, dearth of public
goods and services, unethical individual behavior, and
kinship and nepotism. As a result of these factors,
corruption remains a major problem in Malawi. In response to
these challenges, Malawi has introduced a number of
initiatives aimed at promoting good governance and fighting
endemic corruption. In May 2004, President Bingu Wa
Mutharika, immediately after taking office adopted a zero
tolerance stance on corruption. This was subsequently
formalized into a declaration on zero tolerance on
corruption in February 2007. MASAF projects'
commendable work in identifying governance and
