Abstract
The Malawi Social Action Fund (MASAF) is
a quick-disbursing facility which routes money directly to
communities. One of the main emphases of the project is to
improve and strengthen the capacity of beneficiary
communities to identify, prioritize, supervise, monitor,
maintain and operate projects. Community contracting is an
intrinsic part of this process. The participatory assessment
of local stakeholder perspectives of community contracting
included identifying: (i) key characteristics of the
community contracting component, (ii) strengths and
weaknesses of the approach, and; (iii) specific issues,
constraints, and possible solutions.
