Malawi - Technical Assistance Loan Project
UMA Engineering Ltd., Calgary, Canada | AGRA Earth & Environmental, Calgary, Canada
The First Technical Assistance Project supports the related structural adjustment loan which is being submitted separately. It aims at assisting the Government in achieving its goals of attaining self-sufficiency in meat and dairy products, in developing its agro-based industries in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the Malawi Development Corporation and in carrying out its structural adjustment program. Specifically, the proposed two-year project, will finance around 70 months of consultant services: (a) to study the development prospects and price incentives in the livestock, meat and dairy industries; (b) to review the Malawi Development Corporation's present and projected financial position, its management structure, and its operating guidelines; (c) to help strengthen MDC's export marketing capabilities; and (d) for other, currently unidentified studies, needed to carry out the structural adjustment program. As a result of the project, Malawai plans to expand its investments in livestock and to significantly improve the financial and economic performance of one of its most important parastatals, the Malawi Development Corporation. Both studies, if successfully carried out, will assist the Government in its program of economic recovery.
