Two Steps Forward, One Step Back: The Limits of Foreign Aid on Malawi's Democratic Consolidation

Author

  • Danielle Resnick

Abstract

Since the era of one-party rule, Malawi's relationship with the donor community has proved erratic and contentious. During the second term of Malawi's current president, Bingu wa Mutharika, this trend has continued apace, with important implications for the consolidation of the country's nascent democracy. Donors providing democracy aid have assisted with the conduct of elections and improved the technical capacity of parliamentarians.
