Abstract:
This article uses contemporary Malawian proverbs about gender as a window on connections between structural violence, culture, and AIDS in Malawi. Malawi's colonial and post-colonial history forms the backdrop for considerations of Malawi's changing sexual landscape. The author argues that Malawi's legacy of structural violence, particularly the colonial introduction of male labour migration and massive gender inequalities, irrevocably altered Malawian gender roles. Any attempt to explain Malawi's high rate of AIDS must therefore consider how structural violence became entwined with cultural norms in the production of a competitive sexual economy based on multiple concurrent partner and transactional sex.

Abstract:
AbstractIn late 2009 two Malawians, a man and a transgender woman, united in an engagement ceremony. Police charged both under Malawi's anti-sodomy provisions. The case captured the nation's attention and drew scrutiny from foreign governments and human rights organizations. Several western nations threatened to withdraw aid unless the prosecution was discontinued. Nevertheless, the defendants were convicted and sentenced. Following a visit from the UN secretary general, Malawi's president pardoned the couple, but emphasized that the “two gay boys” had offended Malawi and its people. This article examines this case (R v Soko and Kachepa) and its impact on Malawi's LGBT rights movement. Using Thomas Stoddard's “rule-shifting, culture-shifting” paradigm, it considers the efficacy of international and domestic advocacy efforts and concludes that aid conditionality is, in many ways, counter productive. Conversely, multi-dimensional domestic advocacy is a promising strategy to change the relevant law and public attitudes associated with the Malawian LGBT community.

Abstract:
The arrival of China in Malawi has been characterised by a growing sense of uncertainty among academics who have expressed concern over the intentions of the superpower in the country. There are fears that China would like to extend its influence to Malawi as part of a broader push to increase its influence in global politics and economics. That push is in part exercised through the media. This study analyses the perception of Malawian journalists on news media reports of Chinese activities in Malawi. It uses content analysis to understand how the mediascape had changed from 2001-2007 when China had not yet established diplomatic relations with Malawi, and the period from January 2008-2020 in which diplomatic relations with China have existed. The article examines the shifts in journalistic representations of China in Malawi and develops prompts and probes from which journalist interviews were conducted. From the content analysis, it appears that from 2001-2007, Malawian media, especially The Daily Times, was very negative about China, uncritically reproducing Western representations of China. This changed after January 2008 when the press leaned towards an acknowledgement of Chinese activities. Through interviews journalists have indicated that the Chinese government offers certain opportunities such as exchange visits to journalists, making it difficult for them to bite the hand that feeds them. This ‘soft power’ is backed up by the repressive power of the Malawian government that uses intimidation to force journalists to report in their favour, thereby helping to create a positive image for China in Malawi. Journalists report that the significant shifts in journalistic representations of China have been mirrored by changes in the conceptualisation of journalistic roles in Malawi’s mediascape.

Abstract:
Background: Antenatal care has been identified as pivotal to improving maternal and child health in Malawi. Though Malawian women consistently seek antenatal care, they rarely do so during their first trimester. The purpose of this study was to identify barriers to antenatal care uptake among Malawian women. This article adds to the literature by identifying common sociocultural barriers and their impact on ANC attendance. Methods: Two large tertiary care hospitals in the central and southern regions of Malawi were selected as study sites. Twenty pregnant mothers and eight health workers were recruited and interviewed. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed to identify themes. Posters in health facilities were also analyzed. Results: Results revealed many contributors to delayed antenatal attendance among Malawian mothers including: attitudes toward pregnancy, hospital inefficiencies, ANC promotion at the health facilities/communities, and spousal/significant other involvement all contributed to delayed antenatal attendance among urban Malawian women. Conclusions: Incorporating spouses/significant others in antenatal care activities, providing a consistent message in promotion materials used with the women and addressing the inefficiencies within the health system could be targets to improve early antenatal attendance in Malawi.

Abstract:
AbstractThe 1994 Malawian Constitution is unique in that it, among other things, recognizes administrative justice as a fundamental right and articulates the notion of constitutional supremacy. This right and the idea of constitutional supremacy have important implications for Malawi's administrative law, which was hitherto based on the common law inherited from Britain. This article highlights the difficulties that Malawian courts have faced in reconciling the right to administrative justice as protected under the new constitution with the common law. In doing so, it offers some insights into what the constitutionalization of administrative justice means for Malawian administrative law. It is argued that the constitution has altered the basis and grounds for judicial review so fundamentally that the Malawian legal system's marriage to the English common law can be regarded as having irretrievably broken down as far as administrative law is concerned.

Abstract:
Francis Moto is a Malawian writer who has published poetry both in vernacular (Chichewa) and in English. His poetry in English appears in a collection titled Gazing at the Setting Sun published in 1994, the year Malawians voted Dr Hastings Kamuzu Banda and his Malawi Congress Party (MCP) out of power. Besides recording the suffering of Malawians during the autocratic leadership of the first post-independence president, Dr Banda, and remembering the author's childhood experiences, the poetry also celebrates Malawi's political transformation from one party rule to multiparty democracy in the early 1990s. In the poems, Moto also looks to the future with a sense of hope for a better society where human rights and the rule of law will be respected. This article analyses Moto's poems with the aim of celebrating his successes as a poet. This is done by focusing on his more successful poems in terms of style. It is argued in this article that the success of some of Moto's poems in Gazing at the Setting Sun depends on his allusions to and evocations of dictatorship and political change in Malawi. These evocations and allusions depend on his imagery and choice of words and expressions. In the analysis of the poems, close reading with a particular focus on style is done. The discussion is in two parts. The first part discusses Moto's poems that allude to the dictatorial reign of Dr Banda in Malawi and the second part provides a discussion of Moto's imagery in relation to his evocation of political change.

Abstract:
Macadamia is an essential commodity crop in Malawi. The nuts are a lucrative commodity and are used for household consumption, income generation among farming families and as a foreign exchange earning crop at country-level. Macadamia production in Malawi has increased significantly in recent years. Malawi is the seventh top producer of macadamia nuts valued at £23.5 million, with a global market share of 3%. In 2018, the country was the fourth-largest exporter of macadamia nuts that were valued at £18.2 million. The majority (90%) of this crop was grown by large commercial estates with smallholder’s production only contributing about 10% of the total crop production. However, the smallholder sector is vital for the future growth of the macadamia sector in the country. Further, Malawian smallholders consider macadamia production as a low-input crop with large returns per unit area (£10.7 kg−1 ha−1), and it thus a lucrative commodity with high potential for poverty reduction and wealth creation among these farming families. This paper, therefore, explores: (i) the historical and current trends in macadamia nut production in Malawi; (ii) analyses the country’s macadamia value chain focusing on smallholder farmer contributions; and (iii) discusses the constraints of smallholder macadamia production in Malawi for informed policymaking. We conclude that the synthesis of the Malawian macadamia sub-sector provides an understanding of the vital contributions of macadamia to Malawi’s economic growth and improvement of livelihoods.

Abstract:
In Malawi, 41% of women aged 15 to 49 report ever experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). Although there is evidence of the pervasiveness of IPV in Malawian society, the context in which it occurs and how women respond is not well described. The purpose of this study was to describe experiences of IPV of rural Malawian women. In-depth interviews were conducted with 55 rural Malawian women aged 21 to 75 years ( M = 39) as part of a larger, mixed-methods study. This qualitative thematic analysis highlights husbands’ IPV against wives and women’s actions to protect themselves and their children, and to thrive despite the violence. Our use of a postcolonial feminist perspective led us to acknowledge Malawian women’s acts of resistance in the midst of the harsh realities of IPV and gender inequality. We contend women’s resilience and resistance against oppression within intimate relationships are critical tools in the process of reducing IPV. Structural interventions that (a) address the multiple distal and proximal factors affecting IPV, (b) are tailored to and owned by local populations, and (c) involve both men and women as architects and active participants, we believe, hold the greatest promise for reducing IPV in Malawi.

Abstract:This article explores state/NGO/funder relations in Africa through an ethnographic case study of Malawi’s Readmission Policy. The Policy, which banned the permanent expulsion of pregnant girls from school in 1993, underwent a formal, government-led review in 2016. By focusing attention on the daily work of “middle figures”—the mid-level civil servants, NGO representatives, and consultants who participated in the policy reform process—this article shows how state disempowerment in Malawi was not wholesale, even as aid funding for development policymaking bypassed government. Rather, government actors deployed key strategies, including time (mis)management, to reclaim moral authority over Malawian schools.

In this article, we look at the history of charismatic churches in Malawi with a particular focus on some of the early charismatic churches. We first define what charismatic churches are. Secondly, we explore and explain the tremendous charismatic revival, tracing it from the time of its penetration in Malawi, its spread and also its survival on Malawian soil. The article also briefly focuses on the decisive role of women in the establishment of some of the early charismatic churches in Malawi. These include the Living Waters Church, Calvary Family Church, Glad Tidings Church and the Agape Church, among others, before some conclusions for the making of Malawian society are drawn.

Benjamin, Laura. "HIV infection and stroke in Malawian adults." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2014. http://livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/16133/.

Full text
Abstract:
There is an increased incidence of young people with stroke (age ≤45years) in Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) endemic countries; this has been largely attributed to hypertension. However, hospital based surveys in countries like Malawi and South Africa have shown that the prevalence of hypertension in these young people is lower than expected, but HIV infection is substantially higher, implicating HIV as a risk factor. For many years a link between HIV and stroke has been postulated, but the relationship is uncertain. Whilst HIV may be a risk factor for stroke directly through mechanisms linked with HIV-associated vasculopathy, or indirectly through opportunistic infections, the drugs that treat HIV infection may also increase the risk of stroke because of their metabolic effects. Many studies, almost all retrospective, have failed to separate the direct effect of HIV infection from the indirect effects, including combined antiretroviral therapy, on cerebrovascular risk. HIV infection increases the risk of stroke mimics such as intracranial toxoplasma infection. The Recognition of Stroke in the Emergency Room (ROSIER) score is commonly used to screen for a stroke and triage patients for computer tomography (CT) of the brain. However, the accuracy of the ROSIER score and CT brain to reliably differentiate a stroke diagnosis from those with a stroke mimic in people with HIV infection is uncertain. I found that the ROSIER score and CT brain imaging had poor diagnostic accuracy in an HIV positive population. Therefore, in my thesis, every patient with an acute neurological symptom was fully assessed for a stroke as part of the screening process and confirmation was by magnetic resonance brain imaging. I subsequently investigated the risk factors and aetiology of stroke through a prospective case-control study in an HIV endemic country. Through this work, I showed that HIV infection is associated with cerebrovascular disease. Although hypertension was the leading risk factor in the population overall, HIV infection and its treatment was the second most important, and the most important in younger patients. Unexpectedly, I found that starting combined antiretroviral therapy in a subgroup of people living with HIV infection independently increased the risk of stroke. In this cohort, ischaemic stroke was the predominant stroke type and opportunistic infections only accounted for less than a third of these cases. The heterogeneity of HIV stroke with respect to risk factors for stroke, the degree of immunosuppression and HIV activity, and prior or current opportunistic infection has made it difficult to generalise epidemiological findings in some studies to populations at large. My study, to some extent unravels some of this ambiguity. I speculate that HIV related strokes evolves through the introduction of cART and then transitions into an aging population, accelerating atherosclerotic stroke and potentially contributing to an anticipated stroke epidemic in countries like Malawi.

Abstract:
Background: Concerns have been well documented about women either dying or developing severe morbidities from prolonged and obstructed labour. These concerns have noted that maternity care during labour has not been of a sufficient standard to improve the outcome for women giving birth in Malawi. This ‘failure to save’ women remains, despite assertions that obstructed and prolonged labour can be prevented through appropriate decision making during the progress and management of labour. Midwives in Malawi form the majority of maternity healthcare workers and an important aspect of their decision-making role is to assess the progress of labour when caring for women in labour. To date, there has been limited exploration of either midwifery decision making during labour or the contextual factors that influence midwives’ decision making. The aim of this study was to explore how Malawian midwives make decisions during the first stage of labour in a hospital setting and to identify the contextual factors that influence their decision making. Design and Method: Using a qualitative ethnographic research approach, 27 participant observations, 26 follow-up interviews and document reviews comprised the data collection. Nine Malawian nurse-midwives who worked at a tertiary (n=5) and a secondary referral hospital (n=4), with a mixture of qualifications and experiences, participated. Each nurse midwife was observed three times with subsequent follow-up interviews. Interviews were conducted in a vernacular language, audio-taped, transcribed, translated into English and back translated into vernacular language. Qualitative data analysis software, NVivo 10, was used to assist with data management for the analysis. All data was analysed using the principle of theme and category formation. Findings: Three major themes were identified - contextual factors influencing midwifery decision making - the role of cue acquisition - the role of the partograph during care of women in the first stage of labour. Integration of the themes has led to the development of a proposed conceptual model of ‘supporting normality’ during the first stage of labour, which suggests that the midwives strived to make decisions during the care of women in labour with the aim of supporting the normal physiological processes of labour. The first theme illustrates that for Malawian midwives, decision making is a complex and contextually dependent undertaking. In everyday practice, decision making was influenced by multiple and competing factors but the midwives developed strategies to manage and control the context of their practice and facilitate decision making. The role of cue acquisition comprised a six-stage subprocess illustrating the ways in which midwives utilise assessment data to reason and make decisions during the care of women in labour. These processes involved the midwives building a case for each woman’s labour progression by piecing together segments of information they obtained. This process was striking when there was uncertainty in a woman’s progress of labour as they used deductive thinking by cross-checking data obtained across the labour progression span. There was a constant forward and backward moving of thought processes supported by actions that uncovered real case-building evidence for informing decisions about whether to intervene or not. The model further indicates the role of the partograph, which alerted midwives to the presence of progress or non-progress of labour. Although the partograph acted as an adjunct to the midwives’ decision making that could indicate opportunities for early intervention in labour if labour appeared not to be progressing, the midwives were sometimes cautious about its interpretation. This thesis has expanded on current theoretical knowledge of decision making by elaborating on the processes midwives employ to make decisions as they care for women in labour. It also illuminates the impact of contextual factors on decision making, and elucidates various strategies midwives use to advance their professional role. The emerging conceptual model provides implications for future midwifery practice, education and policy both in Malawi and worldwide.

Abstract:
Malawi lost a significant proportion of its most experienced and qualified nurses to international migration between 2000 and 2005. The lure of overseas life and poor conditions of service at home caused an unprecedented wave of migration. This thesis is about the experiences and motivations of nurses who left Malawi, and of those who stayed behind. Using a qualitative biographical method to examine their experiences along a timeline of key life events, I develop a comprehensive picture of nurse migration. The findings show that nurses’ decisions and experiences have been shaped by demographic and political shifts and by a strong culture of family. Population growth has increased competition for higher education and caused a palpable shift in motives for becoming a nurse. Prospective students now see nurse training as a means to a guaranteed career, or to a marketable qualification which can lead to alternative employment. Working conditions have not improved despite numerous government initiatives, and nurses are still leaving for greener pastures. Many now move to Malawian Non-Governmental Organisations, but before 2005 nurses were able to take advantage of the United Kingdom’s (UK) active recruitment strategy. Most were motivated by the prospect of educational opportunities and the financial survival of their families, who often encouraged them because of the status accorded to migration. Whilst nurses in the UK were pleased with their lifestyle improvements, they found it challenging to integrate into society and the workplace. Many also found it difficult to achieve their educational and financial goals, and the stigma of returning to Malawi empty-handed led them to extend their stay. The enduring high status of migration and its unparalleled benefits mean that the desire to migrate is still strong amongst nurses, and many believe that the recent decline in migration is attributable only to tighter UK immigration restrictions.

Abstract:
Multi-drug resistant (MDR) Streptococcus pneumoniae are a major public health concern worldwide. In Malawi a resource poor country, even the simplest antimicrobials remain a precious commodity. Given the limited number of antimicrobials available for the management of MDR invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) measures need to be implemented to limit the spread of resistance. In order to design such measures it is essential that we gain a better understanding of the evolution of antimicrobial resistance in this setting. The purpose of this thesis was to assess the molecular basis and mode of dissemination of antimicrobial resistance in S. pneumoniae with the aim of identifying a biomarker of antimicrobial resistance that could be used to design a diagnostic PCR to assist epidemiological surveillance of antimicrobial resistance and inform treatment policy. Malawi introduced the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in 2011. To provide baseline data to assess the impact of PCV13 all invasive pneumococci isolated from children admitted to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, Malawi 2004-2006 were serotyped and subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The data suggested PCV13 will not provide protection against 61% of penicillin resistant pneumococci and if serotype replacement occurs following the introduction of PCV13, the incidence of penicillin resistant IPD could therefore increase Over 130 resistant and susceptible pneumococcal isolates from carriage and invasive disease were subjected to whole genome sequencing. The employment of an in vitro and in silco analytical approach established that S. pneumoniae employs a diverse array of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, the dissemination of which is likely to be driven by high antimicrobial consumption. A relatively high incidence of antimicrobial resistant was observed in serotype 1 pneumococci, the most common cause of IPD in Malawi. This serotype is not usually associated with resistance in other geographic locations, the short duration of serotype 1 carriage is assumed to limit the chance it has to acquire resistance mechanisms via recombination. Interestingly the resistance mechanisms employed by serotype 1 had been acquired through multiple recombination events. Recombination was evidenced to contribute to >90% of the variation in the serotype 1 genomes. To allow the identification of resistance biomarkers free from any preconceptions about which genes are involved in resistance, multiple antimicrobial resistant lineages were generated in vitro. Isolates were sequenced at several time points as resistance developed. Comparison of the resistant isolates to the wild type isolates identified single nucleotide polymorphisms in 46 genes, 40 of these genes have not previously been implicated in antimicrobial resistance. The role of these genes in resistance warrants further investigation. The analysis suggests that rather than a single biomarker future research needs to identify multiple biomarkers; the dynamic nature of this organism means that it can adopt one of many routes to antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract:
Proponents of socially and culturally oriented mathematics education have argued that teaching approaches which value and connect with the learner's prior knowledge and everyday experience are more likely to promote active, meaningful, relevant and liberatory learning than approaches which rely on transmission and abstract presentation of mathematical content. In Malawi, proposals to reform the outdated secondary mathematics curriculum have been made with the aim of aligning mathematics instruction with the social and political changes in the current Malawian society. Using a case study approach, this study investigated the extent to which everyday experiences could be used as a vehicle for changing the learning and teaching of secondary mathematics in Malawi. The study was collaborative, taking place over a period of five months in severely overcrowded and poorly resourced classes in two schools. It involved three mathematics teachers in a cycle of planning and teaching mathematics lessons based on the use of everyday experiences, and observation of and reflection on these lessons, in order to document the effects of using everyday experiences on student learning and teachers' teaching practices. The data was collected through student questionnaires; classroom observations and fieldnotes; interviews and reflective meetings with teachers; and informal meetings with key education officials in Malawi. Mathematics examination results from students involved in this study and a corresponding group from the previous year were collected. A reflective and critical approach was adopted in the interpretation and discussion of the data. Teachers' participation in this study resulted in heightened awareness of their teaching roles and the value of linking school mathematics with everyday experience. The study also shows that students found mathematics interesting and important to learn despite their lack of success in it. In addition, the study documented a number of constraints to change in mathematics instruction such as teachers' focus on mathematics content and examination requirements, and students' resistance to inquiry learning. It also recorded possibilities and barriers to collaboration both between teachers and researchers, and teachers themselves. The findings of this study are timely since they could serve to inform the reform of the Malawian secondary mathematics curriculum currently being undertaken, which began without a critical examination of the classroom conditions necessary to accommodate a socio-politically relevant mathematics education.

Abstract:
The aim and purpose of this report is to describe how the domestic tobacco industry is affectingsustainable development in Malawi. This is done by describing the environmental and socio-economic effects ofthe cultivation and selling of tobacco leaves. Together with an outlook on the future developments of the industry,this information is used to describe how the Malawian tobacco industry corresponds to sustainable developmentand how it can be changed to improve sustainability in the country. The report is based on a literature study andtwo interviews. Theories on sustainable development and developmental concepts form the theoreticalbackground for the report. The conclusion of the report is that the situation regarding the Malawian tobaccoindustry is a complex one, where direct economic benefits are the main motive, but various socio-economic andenvironmental effects combine to make the situation unsustainable in a number of aspects. The suggestion of thisreport is to turn away from the current high dependence on tobacco to a more diversified agriculture, wheredifferent types of food crops substitute tobacco as the main source of income, while at the same time providingmore food in a country where poverty and malnutrition are problematic issues.

Full text
Abstract:
This project explores the dialectic between the identities which social essayist literacy traditions encourage and novice writers' view of such identities (Lillis, 2001) as novices transition to university education in a Malawian university. To do this, the study adopts the view of academic writing as social semiosis with identity implications (Ivanič, 1998). This position is predicated on the view that saying something is a performative act which hails a social being (Gee, 1996). Therefore, in asking novice writers to write in a certain way, the academy implicitly asks them to take on new discoursal identities. The study examines the dialectic that ensues from this. Such dialectic is largely examined from an Ubuntu perspective which stipulates that selfhood is brought about in interaction with and because of the "other" (cf., Swanson, 2007, 2009). To achieve this, the study adopts "ethnography as method" (Lillis, 2008) or "talk around text". Novice academic texts were analysed to isolate the identity positions which they performatively enacted. Then, in a discourse based interview set up (Hyland, 2012a), participants were given an opportunity to explicate why as well as how they created the positions identified. The emerging data from these talks were then analysed using Bamberg's (1997) model of interactive positioning to explore further how these novices perceive themselves in light of the emerging positions in their written texts. The findings of this study point to academic writing as a "stage managed form of interaction" (Thompson, 2001) in which what goes into the essay is hardly determined by the individual writer. The study's findings highlight that the contents of most novice essays are determined by "the reader/assessor" (Ivanič, 1998) and the impressions novices want to create for this authoritative "other". Novice writers' attempts to performatively take up authoritative positions in their writing are however hampered by both a lack of knowledge of academic writing conventions as well as a reverence for secondary discourse. This makes their writing to be either "voiceless" or mildly assertive. They thus struggle to dialogically assert themselves as authoritative since authoritativeness in academic writing is contingent on the "other". This is something novice academic writers in Malawi struggle to negotiate.

Abstract:
The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019 marked a turning point in the delivery of education globally. The exponential rise in positive cases months later left the majority of higher education institutions in the developing world awe-stricken as they had inadequate or no infrastructure to enable them to switch to emergency delivery modes. Universities in Malawi were equally affected and had to re-organise themselves to explore alternative modes of continuing with teaching and learning in the face of the contagion. This paper applies the five-stage model to examine a capacity building programme for teaching staff on emergency education in the Covid-19 era at the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences. The study was largely qualitative and data collection involved a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews. Whilst most staff members initially held negative perceptions, the situation gradually changed as positive sentiments became widespread. The perceptual shift could essentially be attributed to intensive training on the e-learning platform, Moodle, as well as simultaneous acquisition of supporting infrastructure. Apparent increase in academic autonomy, which ostensibly arose from the urgent search for innovative education methodologies, further influenced favourable dispositions among the staff. In harmony with the five-stage model, there was progression of development among the teaching staff from low to high order skills although close supervision was critical during the first sessions of the training. Application of the model in the Malawian context would, however, be more effective if synchronous and asynchronous methods are integrated to help address challenges relating to internet connectivity and ICT resource constraints. Additionally, sufficient time would be required to facilitate the development of high-order thinking skills in the later stages of the model.

Abstract:
Malawi has made significant progress in improving nutrition outcomes in the past decades. Despite this, the rates of stunting and anaemia remain high and overweight and obesity amongst women is rising. Malawi remains one of the most committed countries to nutrition, ranking 3rd out of 45 African countries on the Hunger and Nutrition Commitment Index, but effective implementation of policies is still challenging. Progress is being inhibited by a lack of dedicated budget lines for nutrition at district level, over reliance on external donors, poor coordination and competing priorities for limited resources within sectoral budgets. The pandemic, climate change and the Ukraine war have disrupted food systems, increased prices of fuel, fertilizer, and food, and caused loss of harvest and livelihoods, threatening to reverse decades of progress. Positive and coordinated action is needed to increase financial commitment to food and nutrition security, ensure nutrition is prioritised in the nation’s economic and development agenda, and continue Malawi’s progress to reducing malnutrition.
