Volume 2 October 2007 Annex 1 - page 2 Evaluation of the Commission’s Regional Support to SADC DRN-ADE-ECO-ECORYS-NCG INTRODUCTION This annex contains the data supporting the responses to the ten evaluation questions, which guided the Evaluation of the Commission’s support to the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The text of the ten evaluation questions, as approved during the Desk Phase, and around which the Evaluation was structured, is shown in the table on the next page. Accordingly, this Annex is divided into ten main sub-sections, each of which covers one Evaluation Question. The responses to the evaluation questions are based on a set of judgement criteria elaborated during the Evaluation’s Desk Phase. Each of these Judgement Criteria contains a number of Indicators, which contribute to addressing each judgement criterion. The indicators have been used to structure the data made available to the Evaluation Team during the Desk and Field Phases. Based on these data, responses have been formulated for each of the Evaluation Questions. These responses are contained in Chapter 6 of the Main Report. Supporting data on which this annex draws are to be found in: Annex 3: Intervention Logic Annex 5: List of Projects Annex 6: Background to the Region Annex 8: Desk Analysis of CSP/NIPs for the SADC Region Annex 9: Country and Sector Reports from the Field Visits In addition, Annex 7 contains a list of reference documents and documents which were consulted during the evaluation. It may be noted in particular that the information contained in Annex 9 is a result of those interviews carried out with the persons and institutions detailed in Annex 10 (List of persons met). Team members asked respondents for their views and, in order to allow for an as free and frank a discussion as possible, it was agreed that the remarks would be non-attributable. In addition, many of the points included in Annex 9 were made by several commentators – and hence, direct citing of individuals has mostly been avoided.

  • Malawi Has a Very Limited Transport System and It Is One of the Lowest in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Region
    SECTOR POSITION PAPER Malawi Office TRANSPORT 1. Current situation and major challenges of the sector: Malawi has a very limited transport system and it is one of the lowest in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region. As a result of all these problems, the country faces high transport costs (average cost in the region of US$7 per ton per km and Malawi with a cost of US$7 to US$10) rendering economic and social development difficult. However, there is an attempt to invest in aviation; rejuvenation of the rail subsector is also a target of the Government of Malawi as well as continued expansion of the roads subsector. The COVID-19 Pandemic is also severely affecting the sector. Many experts from development partners have had to return to their country of origin and the import of crucial materials especially for construction has proved to be more challenging as the movement of goods from country to country has slowed down. Malawi’s transport sector comprises of the following sub-sectors: a) Road sub-sector: According to the Ministry of Transport Joint Sector Review (2018) The main method of transportation is by road with 90% of goods and 70 % of passengers using this method of transportation for local and international destinations respectively. Classified road network comprises 15,451 km of which only 26% (2,317.7 km) is paved. b) Inland water transport extends from the northern to the southern region passing through the centre. Main ship ports are Monkey Bay in the south, which is also a ship assembling dock, Chipoka and Nkhota-kota in the central region, Nkhata Bay, and Chilumba in the northern region.
