Scoping requirements and options for the creation of a Social Support Fund
The Malawi Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning and Development (MoFEPD), with the support of GIZ, commissioned CGA to conduct a study to explore opportunities for the creation of a Social Support Fund (SSF). Its purpose would be to provide social protection to people in extreme poverty through a joint funding mechanism between Government and non-Government stakeholders to and to support the Government's National Social Support Policy.
