About

The Department for International Development awarded a contract to IMC Worldwide Ltd for Education Support in Malawi (ESM).

The contract, valued at AUD 7,000,000, addresses incomplete primary school construction at approximately 48 sites, which has remained unfinished since 2010 due to the Government of Malawi's inability to pay contractors, stemming from institutional and bureaucratic constraints that undermined the pooled fund.

Much of the construction was tendered under DFID's previous Education Sector Support Programme (ESSP) and handed over to the Education Infrastructure Management Unit (EIMU) at the start of 2010 when the pool became operational and DFID's Programme Implementation Unit (PIU) closed.

The EIMU retained staff from DFID's PIU and therefore had strong technical capacity but was hampered by financial constraints of the Government of Malawi.
