Notice Information

Notice Title

DFID 7139 Education Support in Malawi (ESM) - Contract

Notice Description

Since 2010 primary school construction at approximately 48 sites remains incomplete due to the inability of Government of Malawi (GoM) to pay contractors because of institutional and bureaucratic constraints which undermined the success of the pooled fund. Much of the construction was tendered under DFID's previous Education Sector Support Programme (ESSP) and handed over to Education Infrastructure Management Unit (EIMU) at the start of 2010 when the pool became operational and DFID's Programme Implementation Unit (PIU) closed. The EIMU retained staff from DFID's PIU and therefore had strong technical capacity but was hampered by financial constraints of GoM.
