A ccording to the mission’s Country Development Cooperation Strategy, the goal of USAID/Malawi is to improve Malawians’ quality of life. We have three Development Objectives that will help us reach this goal: Social Development Improved. Sustainable Livelihoods Increased. Citizen Rights and Responsibilities Exercised.

This collection of stories shows what happens when those Development Objectives are realized in real people’s lives. In these pages, you’ll meet parents who are making their families healthier, children who have fallen in love with reading, and farmers who are producing more and better crops thanks to the diligent work of USAID/Malawi and our implementing partners.

These are the people on whose behalf USAID/Malawi works every day. These stories convey what USAID stands for and achieves in Malawi. As the lives of Malawians improve through development action, communicating this progress in individual lives is proof of a better world. It is our intention with this collection to inspire development colleagues and Malawian citizenry with hope for the future of the warm heart of Africa.
