Malawi: USA to give Malawi "substantial aid" to fight corruption

Malawi is to receive substantial aid from the United States of America to fight corruption and improve fiscal accountability. The board of directors of the Millennium Challenge Corporation has approved Malawi's threshold programme concept paper, allowing it to receive the funding. The American government expects Malawi to fight corruption and improve fiscal management before the country qualifies for full Millennium Challenge Account assistance of 15bn dollars.
