Malawi Barometer 2013: Chapter 8 Peace building and conflict resolution

Key points

• Overall, citizens scored the government 53% in terms of progress towards meeting the targets on peace building and conflict resolution in the SADC Gender Protocol.
• There is no SGDI score for this sector.
• The relative political and socio-economic instability the country experienced over the last two years before the swearing in of the incumbent President Joyce Banda in April 2012 could have influenced the score.
• The territorial wrangle over Lake Nyasa in Tanzania known as Lake Malawi in Malawi may have also influenced the score.
• Women citizens gave the country 52% compared to 53% given by men.
• Data for women’s representation and participation in this sector is not readily available hence there are still a lot of information gaps.
