REBA Case Study Brief Number 5: Input Subsidy Programme, Malawi

The Input Subsidy Program (ISP) in Malawi is a fertilizer and maize seed subsidy program covering the entire country. It has operated so far for two years 2005/06 and 2006/07, and is a successor to earlier input subsidy schemes such as the Targeted Input Program (TIP) (2000-04) and Starter Pack (1998-00). ISP is funded by the Government of Malawi and implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, as well as by the public fertilizer distribution agencies the Agricultural Development and Marketing Corporation (ADMARC) and the Smallholder Farmer Fertilizer Revolving Fund of Malawi (SFFRFM).
