Governance for Solutions (GfS) (Malawi):  USAID's Governance for Solutions works through local coalitions drawn from the government, the private sector, and civil society to identify governance bottlenecks that inhibit effective delivery of public services. The activity seeks to improve efficient use of public resources and the protection of public goods such as forests and fisheries. The activity will help identify groups or institutions that are effectively addressing these challenges, learn from these experiences, devise interventions that build on success, and adapt programming for further improvement. Socializing approaches through community media and experience sharing and scaling these ideas beyond the core intervention area via the Ministry of Local Government enables the program to strengthen community resilience and achieve national impact. Governance for Solutions chooses service-delivery constraints derived from USAID cross-sectoral priorities. Health, education, agriculture, and natural resource management are the focal sectors, with public services staffing (such as teachers) and financial management as challenges across sectors. For instance, Governance for Solutions will facilitate enforcement of fishing policies to control misuse of mosquito nets meant to curb malaria. In natural resources, a key goal is reducing illegal charcoal production. With private-sector strengthening in mind, the program also seeks to build local partnerships for service delivery between district authorities and businesses..Governance for Solutions contributes to Malawi's Integrated Country Strategy's Goal 1: Democratic and Accountable Governance. Development Objective 1 of USAID's country strategy seeks to improve public sector effectiveness and accountability at the national and decentralized levels. Gender equity and youth engagement are crucial cross-cutting enablers of these goals.

Local Government Accountability and Performance (LGAP) (Malawi):  This activity supports the Government of Malawi's decentralization reforms by strengthening its capacity to plan, finance, manage, and deliver services in priority sectors (particularly health, education, and economic growth), while also deepening citizen engagement. With USAID's support, in 2019 the Government of Malawi conducted a nationwide performance assessment that established a firm connection between the capacity of local governments to implement core functions and the quality of services delivered at the district level. The same year, with support from the UK, LGAP expanded from an initial eight districts to cover all of Malawi's 28 districts. Today, the project is improving human resource and public financial management practices nationwide to increase local government accountability and service delivery. In FY 2020, bolstered by increased commitment from the newly elected Government of Malawi, LGAP will provide technical assistance for implementation of the public sector reform policy aimed at harmonizing legislation and policies while strengthening human resource and financial management systems. LGAP will also continue to improve the central government's audit and inspection functions of local government performance. These efforts are essential to ensure that both the Government of Malawi and U.S. government resources are being used effectively to promote Malawi's development and journey to self-reliance. Good Governance is a priority under Objectives 2.2 and 3.1 of the Joint Strategic Plan and Goal 3 of the Joint Regional Strategy. The National Security Strategy lists improved governance as a way to support economic growth and reduce illegal immigration and vulnerability to extremists.

Early Grade Reading Activity (EGRA) Impact Evaluation (IE) (Malawi):  .USAID/Malawi's Early Grade Reading Activity Impact Evaluation (EGRAIE) has two distinct objectives. One is to assess the impact and the effectiveness of the Early Grade Reading Activity (EGRA) and the other is to perform National Reading Assessments to assess the level at which all standard 2 and 4 students are reading against the nationally set reading benchmarks. The EGRAIE will collect, analyze, and report the endline data on EGRA interventions and control schools to provide an impact analysis of EGRA reading interventions on the reading skills of students in standards 2 and 4. Activity results will validate the effect of EGRA on students' reading abilities in communities where USAID is providing education, health, environment, and agriculture interventions (called "full integration districts") as well as in other EGRA districts ("partial: or "non" integration districts) where USAID/Malawi is not implementing its full package of activities.. Objectives for Malawi: This activity, implemented by School to School International, provides expert technical assistance to the MoEST to develop a comprehensive implementation plan for the National Reading Program. This program incorporates the four main components of the National Reading Strategy: instruction, assessment, teacher preparation, and family and community participation.

Strengthening Early Grade Reading in Malawi (SEGREM) (Malawi):  The Malawi education system has very low learning outcomes on national reading assessments for primary students. Low quality curriculum materials are a key contributing factor. The SEGREM activity supports the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology in the implementation of the National Reading Program through the production of relevant, quality teaching and learning materials. The activity developed the language and literacy instructional materials for Standards 1 to 4 Chichewa and English, including teacher guides, student textbooks, syllabi, and supplementary readers that will reach 3,409,817 standard 1-4 learners enrolled across the 5,603 primary schools in Malawi. SEGREM will refine and expand English and Chichewa teaching and learning materials for Standards 1-4, such as curriculum pacing guides, age-appropriate supplementary student reading materials, and open-source and student books for private market sale. These tasks address two of the deficiencies attributed to children's failure to read in Malawi: inappropriate pedagogy and outdated materials. .Implemented by the Malawi Institute of Education, a Government of Malawi (GoM) parastatal, it is the only entity responsible for curriculum development for Malawian primary and secondary schools and Teacher's Training Colleges. SEGREM staff are qualified curriculum development specialists with the skills to develop curriculum materials, and, benefit from USAID's technical assistance. The SEGREM activity increases access to quality reading materials in schools and at home which in turn will improve students' reading ability and learning outcomes. It works through existing government structures, hence supporting the U.S. Foreign Policy priority of ensuring self-reliance and the U.S. Government Basic Education Strategy.... Objectives for Malawi: Implemented by the Malawi Institute of Education, a parastatal organization, SEGREM reviews, revises, and creates reading materials and textbooks for the National Reading Program.
