One cannot adequately discuss physical planning without reference to these fields not just because of their close relationship but also because planning is a young profession having emerged only in the 1900s. Prior to that surveyors, architects and engineers did ‘town’ planning and indeed at one-point health officers in developing countries like Malawi took centre stage in town planning to promote public health, rather than to also promote, as we now do, equity, environment, order and beauty. These concepts are explained to reduce the conceptual confusions both in the planning field but also other fields where attempts are made to use these concepts. For example, a commentary in one government document meant to review the Ministry of Lands, Physical Planning and Surveys, noted that ‘the review team failed to understand the difference between an urban centre and a planning area.’ In a consultancy report on urban environmental management for Salima Town, a statement is made to the effect that ‘medium density areas include traditional housing areas.’ One daily newspaper once quoted Mayor for Blantyre City as complaining of the magnitude of slums and a picture of Mbayani squatter area was displayed on top of the story. Such confusions are more serious among members of the general public who see a bus station as synonymous to a bus depot. Some concepts in this Glossary may not be applicable in Malawi. However, since our country is donor dependent, concepts widely used in major donor countries are included to avoid conceptual confusions and ensure a uniform definition when dealing with those countries. For example, what constitutes good governance to the President of Malawi such as distribution of cash at public rallies might mean corruption in Europe. I hope this Glossary of Planning Concepts in Malawi will be useful to students and teachers of geography and planning in schools, colleges and universities, and to planners in diverse fields and to journalists. Devolution of planning to district (rural and urban) means that different meanings can be attached to otherwise the same concept. It is my hope that local authorities or assemblies will also find the glossary useful in the management of their areas. In short the Glossary has the following: • Concepts used in Malawi • Concepts used in other countries which should be known to planners in Malawi • Concepts used in fields allied to planning such as land administration, estate management, surveying, architecture • Concepts used in the teaching of geography and demography, the basic subjects of future planners in Malawi • Concepts used in development planning and economic development which planners use to explain spatial differentiation In trying to make the necessary professional definitions, I attempted to consult widely among colleagues on particular topics and in specific disciplines. Detailed footnotes are provided for most of the concepts for those who wish to read further. The responsibility for any error or confusion, in a bid to make the concepts as clear as necessary for the Malawi user, remains my own. Mtafu Almiton Zeleza-Manda - Chintheche - MALAWI - 27th September 2004 Mtafu Almiton Zeleza Manda 3 Urban Planning Concepts ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I thank all who helped in the production of this Glossary especially in the definition of the concepts for the guidance they offered. The following however deserve special mention: My colleagues at SCDP for their encouragement on the project and for making several suggestions on how best to have the final print. I also thank DED-Malawi Office for their sponsorship that covered 90% of the printing costs. This assistance was made possible by the instrumental role played by the DED Resident Representative in Malawi, Mrs Friederike Pommerehne and the Planning Advisor at Decentralisation Secretariat, Mr Claus Kruse. I am very grateful for their interest in this work because without it the Glossary should have taken yet more months in manuscript form. I also thank Mrs Lucy Chipeta of Chancellor College and my brother Levy for taking their time to read through the Glossary and suggesting several changes to improve it. Mtafu Almiton Zeleza Manda 4 Urban Planning Concepts DEDICATION I dedicate this book to my late father Singleton Chinguwa Zeleza Manda, whose wisdom and belief in education for personal and societal advancement, I strongly cherish. He passed away in the early hours of Saturday, 17th January 2004 and was laid to rest on 18th January 2004 at Nkhata Bay. He was only 72. Mtafu Almiton Zeleza Manda 5 Urban Planning Concepts ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mr Manda studied at the University of Malawi ‘s Chancellor College where he graduated with a BSoc Sc majoring in Geography and Demography. He did post graduate diplomas in Population and Sustainable Development at the Botswana University and, in Housing and Urban Development at the Netherlands Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies. He also has a Master of Science Degree in Urban Development Planning from the University of London. His involvement in the Malawi labour movement in the early 1990’s helped him publish the first ever book on labour relations by a unionist in the country: The State and the Labour Movement in Malawi (2000). With Ngeyi Kanyongolo and Prof. Clement Ng'ong’ola, he published the “Malawi’ chapter in Public Sector Labour Relations in Southern Africa edited by Evance Kalula and Lovemore Madhuku (1997). He is also contributor of the ‘Malawi’ chapter in The International Manual of Planning Practice (2001) published by Isocarp. He has worked as a planner in Physical Planning Department where he served as principal planner before leaving to join the SCDP as Programme Planner responsible for planning and estate management in town assemblies benefiting from the programme. He was the first physical planner in Malawi to register a planning consultancy firm, Alma Consultants. In 2002 he served as adjunct lecturer in Human Geography at the Mzuzu University. He is presently finalising two other works, Politics and Planning in Malawi, and Trade Unionists, Opportunists and Confusionists: Malawi Trade Unionism, 1992-2004. He is presently, 2004 to 2005, the Honorary Secretary of Malawi Institute of Physical Planners (MIPP) Mtafu Almiton Zeleza Manda 6 Urban Planning Concepts A Abortion Rate: in demography, the frequency of abortion in a population during a given period usually, one year.1 Abortion ratio: frequency of abortions in relation to the number of live births during a specified period (See ratio) Absolute humidity: the amount or weight of water vapour in a mass (volume) of air expressed as grams of water per kilogram of air, or per cubic meter of air 2 (see relative humidity) Absolute cost advantage: when one region (A) can produce products (X and Y) at real absolute lower costs than another (B), it is said that region A has absolute cost advantage over B. However since prices for X may be higher than for Y, region A may be better off specialising in Y, even though A can produce both X and Y more cheaply than B. (see comparative advantage)3 Absolute poverty: an imaginary international poverty line that has no regard to national boundaries and is independent of national per capita income used to describe the proportion of a country’s population and actual number living below a specified minimum level of income. The World Bank first introduced the poverty datum line in 1985 for cross country comparisons and aggregation. A household with income below $370 was classified as ‘poor,’ while one below $275 was classified as ‘extremely poor.’ Both were ‘absolutely poor’ in terms of purchasing power parity 4 (see also poverty).

  • Chapter 7 Solar Power Generation Planning
    CHAPTER 7 SOLAR POWER GENERATION PLANNING Chapter 7 Solar Power Generation Planning The electrification method based on the extension of distribution lines is known as on-grid electrification, while the method that utilizes photovoltaic solar power is known as off-grid electrification. In this chapter, results of the survey on the status of electrification by photovoltaic solar power in Malawi and the state of implementation of photovoltaic power projects funded by foreign countries are discussed. 7.1 The state of Solar Power in Malawi At present photovoltaic energy systems are used in Malawi in many rural sites far from the distribution line. PV residential systems are mostly owned by tobacco farmers, and PV systems for public facilities can be found at many hospitals, post offices, telephone exchange offices, etc. Photovoltaic energy in Malawi has enough potential for development with regard to environmental issues and also reflects a satisfactory degree of established technology. If the problem of the expense of photovoltaic could be solved, it is expected that this technology would spread throughout Malawi and contribute to overall electrification. Some specific knowledge is required to maintain PV systems although not as much as other systems. Furthermore, PV systems can generate electricity whenever solar irradiation is available. Most PV systems in Malawi are Solar Home Systems (SHS) as stand-alone type, being installed in areas far from the grid and where electricity generation by other methods (for example mini hydro) is not possible. There are also systems that are only installed temporarily until other electrification methods become available. The main components of a SHS are the Solar Panel, Battery and Battery Charge Controller (Fig.

  • The Structure of Sexual Networks and the Spread of HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa: Evidence from Likoma Island (Malawi)
    The structure of sexual networks and the spread of HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa: evidence from Likoma island (Malawi) Stéphane Helleringer Hans-Peter Kohler Department of Sociology Population Studies Center University of Pennsylvania It is widely believed that the HIV epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is driven by transmission during unprotected heterosexual intercourse. In particular, infection with HIV in SSA is thought to be fueled by repeated contacts with sex workers or other highly sexually active group, and subsequently diffused to the general population through links of marriage or other stable types of partnerships. Such a theoretical model of sexual mixing has informed many policy simulations of interventions to stem the spread of the disease (see Oster 2005). However, empirical evidence for this diffusion process (i.e. from a group of highly active individuals to a low activity “periphery”) is somewhat scarce as epidemiological studies have generally reported weaker than expected relations between measures of such sexual behavior and risk/prevalence of HIV infection. At the individual level, differences in the rate of sexual partner acquisition only marginally predict an increased risk of infection for both prevalent (e.g. Gregson et al. 2002) and incident cases (e.g. Quigley et al. 2000). Similarly, at the population level, several comparative studies of the factors of HIV infection have found that differences in the prevalence of risky behaviors (high rate of partner change, contacts with sex workers etc.) could not explain the “uneven spread” of HIV across regions of SSA (Boerma et al. 2003). These discrepancies between indicators of sexual activity and prevalence/risk of HIV have been primarily attributed to two factors: reporting bias and differential mortality of HIV- infected individuals.

  • Malawi Country Operational Plan 2017 Strategic Direction Summary
    Malawi Country Operational Plan 2017 Strategic Direction Summary April 26, 2017 1 1.0 Goal Statement While there has been significant progress in the fight against HIV, Malawi still has 980,000 people living with HIV (PLHIV), including 350,000 undiagnosed. The Malawi Population-Based HIV Impact Assessment (MPHIA) showed significant progress toward the globally endorsed targets of 90-90-90. The number of new adult infections each year continues to decline (28,000/year in 2016), coinciding with an increase in ART coverage. With the number of annual HIV-related deaths reduced to 27,000/year in 2016, Malawi continues making progress toward epidemic control. However, MPHIA also highlights a disproportionately high HIV incidence among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) with point estimates for HIV incidence 8 times higher among females aged 15-24 than males. Therefore, the overarching goal of COP17 is to interrupt HIV transmission by reducing incidence among AGYW through testing and treatment of potential sexual partners (men 15-40) and primary prevention (e.g., expansion of DREAMS and AGYW targeted interventions), thereby interrupting the lifecycle of HIV transmission and accelerating progress to epidemic control. The 1st 90 remains the greatest challenge and requires a number of key strategy shifts: Targeting testing and treatment strategies: Increased focus on targeting men and youth with the most efficient testing modalities (e.g., index case testing) and treatment strategies (e.g., same-day ART initiation) to achieve saturation across all age and gender bands in scale-up districts by the end of FY18. Increasing focus in five “acceleration” districts: Per the MPHIA, the epidemic is most intense in population-dense regions of Southern Malawi, especially Blantyre; therefore, PEPFAR will focus on Blantyre and four other high burden, scale up districts (deemed “acceleration” districts) that include 70% of the national gap to saturation.

  • TOURISM INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES in MALAWI 1 1.0. BUSINESS OVERVIEW 1.1. Economic Context Malawi Is an Agriculturally-Based
    TOURISM INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN MALAWI 1.0. BUSINESS OVERVIEW 1.1. Economic Context Malawi is an agriculturally-based economy. In 2003, total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) amounted to some US$1.8 billion at current prices. Currently, real GDP is growing at around 4 percent per annum. In 2005 the agricultural sector accounted for an estimated 37 percent of the total GDP. The next largest sectors are distribution, with 20.8 percent; manufacturing, 10.9 percent; financial and professional services, 9.1 percent; and producers of government services, 8.2 percent. The economic prospects in Malawi are mixed. In the past, the country has relied too heavily on agriculture for economic development, and the majority of Malawians are still engaged in small-scale agriculture. Public sector spending to boost consumption of local goods is also highly dependent on revenues from the agricultural sector, as well as donor funded infrastructure developments. However, given the relatively positive regional dynamics, as well as the gradual emergence of non-traditional industries such as mining, telecommunications and tourism expansion, the Government anticipates that the economy will grow by an average of 5.5 percent per annum from 2005-2008. 1.2. Population and Labour Force In 2004, Malawi’s population was estimated at 11.2 million, and is currently growing at a rate of approximately over two percent per annum. The majority of the population continues to live in rural areas (84 percent in 2003), with almost 80 percent of the economically active population employed in the primary sector, specifically agriculture. The overall population density is approximately 94 persons per km2.
