Project Details:-
The Digital Malawi Program Phase I: Malawi Digital Foundations Project targets three core enablers of digital development: (a) Digital Ecosystem: strengthening the laws, regulations, and institutional and human capacity needed to promote ICT infrastructure investment, market competitiveness, digital engagement, job creation, and innovation; (b) Digital Connectivity: promoting affordable, high quality Internet access for all citizens by incentivizing private sector network infrastructure development and service provision nationwide; and (c) Digital Platforms and Services: building the technical capacity, institutions, and IT infrastructure for the Government to deliver services to citizens and conduct its own business digitally.The project utilizes a ‘Cascade Approach’ to maximize private investment and the impact of public investment. The project places significant emphasis on creating a conducive enabling environment to encourage private sector investment in infrastructure and services. Public financing will only be utilized to meet public needs and to address market failures—providing incentives for private sector investment through PPPs rather than creating competing public infrastructure or services. Finally,the increase in digital skills, digital businesses, and new digital public service offerings is expected to drive demand for private investment in connectivity and complementary digital services and applications.
