A Cost-Benefit Analysis of National Resource Management in Malawi
13 July 2021

Despite being endowed with substantial minerals, gemstones, and waterbodies, Malawi’s mining and fisheries sectors have been unable to fully take advantage of these resources for wealth creation. The analysis highlights two large-scale projects that could increase the value generated by mining and fisheries: Artisanal and small-scale mining ‘landing centers’; and the Chipoka Port Fisheries Project. These projects would contribute towards Malawi’s wealth creation and industrialization goals, for example improving the share of mining from 0.8% of GDP in 2020 to 10% in 2030 and increasing the value-addition from forestry, livestock, fishing from MWK 406,000 million to MWK 600,000 million by 2030.
