| Abstract: | The National Physical Development Plan of Malawi is an attempt to integrate socioeconomic planning and development with physical or spatial planning. This first volume contains the Policy Plan, which deals with the spatial, geographical or physical planning aspects of sectoral development policies. Following the Introduction (section 1), section 2 deals with spatial/locational strategies for productive activities (agriculture, industry and tourism), employment and population. Section 3 is concerned with strategies for rural and urban settlements and service centres. Section 4 deals with the following aspects of infrastructure: transportation as it relates to intersettlement functional linkages; and the provision of health and educational facilities, water, and electricity supplies in relation to the distribution of population and productive activities. Section 5 deals with the major competing demands on land for agriculture, forestry, national parks and other nature reserves, human settlements and infrastructure. Section 6 contains recommendations on the institutional mechanisms and framework to be provided in order to effect the policies recommended in the Plan. The section also defines the responsibilities of and actions to be taken by government ministries, departments and statutory organizations. |
