The Malawi ICT policy and plan development process is based on a methodology developed by the United Nations Economic Commission for African (UNECA) within the framework of the Africa Information Society Initiative (AISI). The process is aimed at four key outputs, namely: the Framework, Policy, Plan and Structures.

The draft Malawi National ICT Policy framework document, the first output of this process coordinated by the Interim ICT Committee, was completed in 2002. Under the coordination of the Department of Information Systems Management and Technology Services (DISTMS), the draft ICT Policy Framework document was presented to the Malawi National ICT Committee for adoption in August 2002.

The Committee adopted the draft Framework Document with modifications and made a number of observations and recommendations on the Way Forward for this process. The National ICT Committee agreed that country-wide consultations on the draft Malawi National ICT Policy framework document be conducted with key stakeholders to;

a)    Solicit their feedback and final input to the document before the Policy is drafted;

b)    Enable stakeholders to enrich the document and;

c)    Stimulate national ownership of the Malawi National ICT Policy Framework document.

The Report on Country-wide Consultations for an Integrated Socio-Economic and ICT Policy and Plan Development Framework for Malawi presents feedback, comments and recommendations from the national stakeholders consultation process on the Malawi National ICT Policy framework document.
