The Malawi country evaluation map was created to promote the knowledge and use of development project evaluations in Malawi. It presents 576 project evaluations from nine databases and a targeted Google search.

Malawi has very many evaluations of health, agricultural development and economic development interventions. Education, governance and public sector, and social protection all have a broad evidence base. These areas are ripe for summaries of lessons learned from these evaluations.

The primary function of the country evaluation map is to increase knowledge and accessibility of project evaluations of development projects in Malawi. This map can be used by policymakers and researchers alike to understand what development project evaluations have been done and where there is a need for more research.
