The Malawi Social Action Fund (MASAF),
which began implementation in 1996, was proposed by the
Government of Malawi as a quick-disbursing poverty
alleviation facility that would be based on and respond to
the needs and demands of the country's poor rural
communities. The country's experience with self-help
projects and programs to date had not been notably
successful this project was intended to herald a paradigm
shift in this respect. It was designed to promote a change
in the way all development actors, including, and perhaps,
especially, the government, would work with other
stakeholders. Communities were required to contribute up to
20 percent of total sub-project costs, in the form of cash,
or labor or materials. Participation was therefore a key
factor in the designing of the project. The Information,
Education, and Communication (IEC) component was primarily
intended as a tool to generate support for and disseminate
information about the project. However, it evolved and was
shaped, as were the rest of the project and its actors, by
the dynamics of project implementation. |
