Page 8: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

The Government of Malawi is committed to creating a Public Sector that is vibrant, professional, transparent and fit for purpose in offering public services to Malawians which facilitate citizen's popular participation in the country's social economic development. To realise this, the Government under the leadership of His Excellency Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, President of the Republic of Malawi, launched the Public Sector Reforms Program on 11th February, 2015.

Cabinet approved two ground breaking policies: The Malawi National Public Sector Reforms Policy (MNPSRP) and Malawi Public Service Management Policy (MPSMP) on 28th February 2018 whose primary goal is to promote the creation of a results oriented, high performing public service by 2022 that facilitates positive transformation of the economy and the country's modernization.

The Communication Strategy for the Malawi Public Sector Reforms (2018-2022) provides a framework to coordinate and mainstream all efforts of Public Sector Reforms using different awareness and advocacy methods to complement the MNPSRP and MPSMP which support the country's development blue print, the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS) III over the next five years.

The success of this strategy hinges on the public servants themselves who are the primary targets including each and every Malawian who is a consumer of public goods and services. A reformed public service is a possibility but this can only be achieved if it starts from an individual point of view.

The image of the Public Sector in Malawi is also one that is viewed with mixed feelings and this is mostly attributed to a knowledge

gap among the general public. Therefore, the Communication Strategy will strive to close this gap by making sure that the populace is linked to relevant stakeholders and that it accesses the required information on what Government is undertaking in its efforts to provide public goods and services to Malawians.

It is my sincere hope that all public servants and stakeholders will support this Strategy and the Public Sector Reforms in order to improve service delivery by the Government of Malawi to its Citizens.

Lloyd A. MuharaCHIEF SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT

Page 10: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

The Communication Strategy for the Malawi Public Sector Reforms (2018-2022) has been developed through a rigorous and consultative process involving a number of stakeholders mainly from the Public Sector together with Civil Society Organisations, Non-Governmental Organisations, traditional leaders, Faith Based Organisations and the Media.

The strategy has been developed following the progress registered after the launch of the Public Sector Reforms by His Excellency the President of the Republic of Malawi, Professor Arthur Peter

thMutharika on 11 February, 2015 and seeks to facilitate Malawians' access to information regarding the reforms being undertaken in Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), Local Councils, Constitutional Bodies and Parastatals.

The Government of Malawi acknowledges the important role that information plays in the development of a country which also culminated into the passing of the Access to Information (ATI) Bill by Parliament in 2016. It is only through a well informed nation that the people are able to engage in popular participation of development activities that promote a country's social economic development.

This Strategy outlines internal and external communication channels that will be used in reaching out to different stakeholders and also categorizes the stakeholders into different groups where Public Servants are the primary targets in the Reforms Agenda. The general public has also been targeted in the strategy among several other stakeholders in order to ensure that they are aware of the reforms being undertaken. As consumers of public services, the general public should always be abreast of all reforms currently taking place in the seventeen (17) MDAs, thirty five (35) Local Councils and fifty four (54) Parastatals.

PREFACE

Page 11: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

The Reforms Communication Strategy also includes an Implementation Plan and Monitoring and Evaluation Framework that will help guide the Public Sector Reforms Management Unit (PSRMU) in the Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC) ensure the successful implementation of the strategy. Stakeholders supporting Public Sector Reforms should also use this strategy as a guide in communicating reforms taking place in the Public Sector.

The Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC) recognises the commitment of different stakeholders in supporting Public Sector Reforms which primarily include: Public Servants themselves, Development Partners, Civil Society Organisations, Traditional Leaders, Faith Based Organisations, Non-Governmental Organisations and the Media. I, therefore, call upon Malawian to continue helping the Malawi Government achieve its primary role of effectively providing essential services to its people.

1.0 Introductionth

On 28 February 2018, the Government of Malawi approved the Malawi National Public Sector Reforms Policy (MNPSRP).

Government's long-term vision for reforms is:

“A high performing, results oriented civil service by 2022 that facilitates positive transformation of the economy and the country's modernization.”

The Malawi National Public Sector Reforms Policy is the first one in the Government's history and is aimed at institutionalizing and enabling the Public Sector Reforms agenda so that it becomes part and parcel of the fabric of running government business. The policy provides for strategic direction for the effective design, implementation, management, monitoring and evaluation of public sector reforms that will create a capable, efficient, effective, professional and ethical public service and stimulate and promote sustainable socio-economic development as encapsulated in the current national development strategy (MGDS III).

Further, the Government of Malawi approved the Malawi Public Service Management Policy (MPSMP). The overall purpose of this policy is to address weaknesses and contradictions in policies that guide the operations of the public service; to address performance challenges in the public service and; the need to reposition the public service so that it can be a useful vehicle in delivering adequate and quality public services and in the realization of the MGDS III outcomes.

The Government of Malawi realizes that one of the critical strategies to effectively implement the two ground-breaking policies is to enhance communication and therefore has developed this

1

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Page 13: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

communication strategy as a way of implementing the two policies. The communication strategy will play a critical role in informing the public service actors on what needs to be done to achieve transformation and therefore the strategy shall enhance behavioural change among public servants and improve the image of the Malawi Government at national, regional and international levels. In addition this communication strategy will act as a tool to inform the public who are the users of public service about the reforms and progress being registered.

Ultimately the people of Malawi, the general public are the beneficiaries of this strategy.

2

Page 14: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

The Malawi National Public Sector Reforms Policy provides for among other things:

a. Alignment of government priorities in its medium term 5-year plan (The Malawi Growth and Development Strategy III) to the Architectural Framework of Ministries during the Five Year Plan period.

b. Proper alignment of sectoral policies and programmes with the MGDS III as well as enabling legislation.

The following priority areas that form the basis of the on-going reforms:

1. Public Service Management Reforms:

This includes reforms related to enactment or review

laws and policies as well as key programmes aimed at

improving the Public Sector Management and

governance and includes mind-set transformation.

2. Decentralisation Reforms:

These reforms are concerned with ensuring that the

local government devolution process is accelerated and

completed.

3. Institutional Restructuring Reforms:

These reforms are concerned with restructuring of

MDAs by setting up new institutions, reframing existing

institutions, and unbundling institutions where it is

deemed to necessary. 4. Recapitalization Reforms:

This will involve capital injection into strategic institutions or key Programmes through treasury funding, Joint Ventures, PPP frameworks or Foreign Direct Investments (FDI).

3

2.0 Policy Content

Page 15: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

5. Transformational Programming:This will involve putting in place Game Changing Transformative Programmes in various sectors and institutions.

These reforms are taking place in the Executive Branch of government mainly and will also take place in the Judicial and Legislative branches of government.

The Malawi Public Service Management Policy has the following eight (8) priority areas in line with the policy objectives namely:

1. Creating a shared understanding of the vision and responsibilities of the public service;

2. Alignment of the Public Service to the national development agenda and service delivery imperatives;

3. Development of an enabling institutional, policy and legislative framework for public service management;

4. Institutionalization of the public service guiding principles, values, ethos among all public servants in all public service institutions;

5. Improving the productivity of public servants and performance of the public service at all levels;

6. Improvement in public sector governance; 7. Strengthening of the human resource management

infrastructure and; 8. Continuous modernization of the public service.

As an immediate outcome of these two policy documents, government will undertake the review of the Public Service Act, The Malawi Public Service Regulations (MPSR) as well as the harmonization of the 8 Service Commissions among other things.

4

Page 16: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

The implementation of the Malawi National Public Sector Reforms Policy and the Malawi Public Service Management Policy will require a multi-sectoral approach under the leadership of the Office of the President and Cabinet. It will involve stakeholders in the Executive, Legislature, Judiciary, local councils, Statutory Corporations, and other Agencies. Other stakeholders outside Government are also expected to contribute to the implementation of this policy. These include the private sector, Non-Governmental Organizations, Civil Society Organisations, Faith Based Organisations, the media and users of public services.

5

Page 17: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

The Malawi Civil Service was once rated the best in Africa in the early post-independence years. This was in line with the Africa Public Service Charter, which emphasized on a Public service that is efficient, effective and results-oriented.

Over the years, service delivery by the Malawi Civil Service has been abating resulting in retarded development. The efficiency of government has a significant bearing on a country's competitiveness and economic growth. Inefficiencies in the delivery of services by the Public Sector have therefore impacted development of our country. Generally, the Public Service is perceived to be too bureaucratic with a negative attitude.

Efforts by previous administrations to overhaul the public service registered minimal success. The current reforms are meant to create a more vibrant and result oriented public service to improve the delivery of services to the public as evidence by government's approval of the two ground-breaking policies.

3.0 Institutional Background

6

Page 18: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

The communication strategy has been formulated in order to bring about understanding among public servants as primary stakeholders and the public as secondary stakeholders on the reforms government is undertaking to transform the public sector.

In this regard, Public Servants need to understand what is expected of them in performing of their new roles and functions and what they can expect from the on-going government reforms. It is therefore believed that the implementation of the communication strategy will eliminate confusion and misunderstanding among the public servants as the actors of the reform implementation and the general public as the beneficiaries of an effective, efficient, accountable and professional public service.

4.0 Why the Communication Strategy?

7

Page 19: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

The Communication Strategy outlines the approach that will be used to engage key stakeholders both internally and externally but with a focus on internal communication in line with the goal of the Malawi National Public Sector Reforms Policy.

The Communication Strategy summarises the overall communication objectives and establishes some general principles to which communications will be expected to adhere.

The Communication Strategy identifies the stakeholder groups as well as their corresponding communication needs. It also identifies key messages for the program, together with some specific deliverables and communication channels.

The strategy aligns itself with the main goal of the Malawi National Public Sector Reforms Policy which is to have a result oriented, high performing civil service that facilitates positive transformation of the economy and the country's modernisation by 2022 as outlined above.

5.0 Validation and Motivation

8

Page 20: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

The communication strategy has been developed according to the following principles:

1. Visibility and accessibility - key senior management, Public Relations Officers (PROs) and Corporate Affairs Managers should deliver the 'general awareness' messages to all public servants and be a link between their institution and the public.

2. Competency and professionalism - making use of a wide range of communication methods and channels in a rightful manner;

3. Relevancy and honesty - information will be up to date and consistent, and reflect the position accurately;

4. Timeliness, flexibility and appropriateness – information will be available when needed, and the right information given, using the right methods and to the right people and avoiding duplication;

5. Comprehensiveness and focused – communications will address all the issues on the particular issue to enable the desired change;

6. Clarity, directness and two-way – Use of plain language, clear short messages where possible to enable provision of feedback is essential so that audiences can ask questions and raise issues of concern.

6.0 Guiding Principles for this Communication Strategy

9

9.0 Specific Objectives

11

Page 23: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

This communication strategy has two communication mechanisms: the internal and external components.

10.1 Internal Communication Mechanism:The internal communication mechanism is aimed at developing a cohesive culture and empowering the public servants to make the right decisions and undertake decisive actions in line with the government's reforms goals. This communication strategy will mainly be driven towards internal communication approach targeting the key stakeholders who are the public servants primarily.

Internal communication mechanism is necessary for successful implementation of the government reforms, as it will achieve:

• A better understanding of reforms program and goals by public servants

• Higher productivity and increased purpose among public servants

• Valuable Feedback for PSRMU• Maintain a connection between PSRMU and all

government institutions.• Enhance a culture of open communication

within the government system.

10.2 External Communication Mechanism:External Communication mechanism will target the general public, media, NGOs, experts, legislators and all other potential stakeholders who are the main beneficiaries of an effective, efficient, professional and modern public service.

12

10.0 Communication Mechanisms

Page 24: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

External communications mechanisms shall achieve the following:

a. Facilitate cooperation and collaboration with the various stakeholders outside the formal government structure.

b. Ensure regular information flow from PSRMU to all the stakeholders.

c. Promote and enhance PSRMU credibility and demonstrate commitment of the government to the promotion of the welfare of Malawians.

In achieving these two mechanisms the following three methods will be used:

10.2.1 Stakeholder Outreach MethodTo increase participation or enlist stakeholders, the communication strategy will consider stakeholder outreach techniques:

1. Diversifying - the strategy is designed persuade the primary audience (public servants) to participate in the reforms process.

2. Broadening –the strategy wil l highlight the nature of the reforms and the benefits of the reforms at both individual and national level.

3. Deepening - the strategy is crafted to guide the beneficiaries on how best to part ic ipate , s tay involved and implement the reforms.

4. Targeted Messages – Messages will be developed for each audience to achieve the anticipated goals.

13

Page 25: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

For Public Servants, the targeted messages will need to address:a. Awareness –Communicating the reforms being

implemented by MDAs and what it means for Public Servants and the benefits;

b. Listening and understanding – Communicating how the reforms will affect various MDAs as well as progress on r e f o r m s i m p l e m e n t a t i o n , w h i c h i n c l u d e accomplishments and results to date; challenges and future plans.

c. Positive perception – Information that the Public Servants need to know at every stage of reforms implementation and to get involved.

d. Action – Information on the timelines involved; capacities needed.

e. Ownership – Public servants will be encouraged to have sense of ownership to ensure success at all levels.

For all stakeholders and beneficiaries, the key messages include:a. Identification and publication of government reforms

as well as services to the public that are being reformed and improved for the better.

b. The reforms being implemented by the MDAs and the 'best practice' environment that reflects the quality of the reforms and the public servants.

5. Ambassadorship/Championship - Identification of ambassadors with credibility is a critical part of outreach work. The ambassadors within each institution shall be trained to deliver the messages to specific audiences.

6. Outreach Channels - Below are communication channels that will be employed to reach out to the audience and increase participation.

10.2.2 Social Marketing MethodTo change individual behaviour (negative attitudes and or perceptions), the strategy shall consider social marketing as a methodology. This method will be used to target the behaviour change at an individual level.

Conventional social marketing methods are based on the understanding that two forces determine behaviour:

a. The degree to which an individual sees the proposed behaviour as beneficial and

b. The extent that the new behaviour will be supported by the current structures within the system.

Social Marketing is applied in this strategy because part of the communication approach is internal and is targeting individual behaviour change. Among other things the strategy through this method will therefore aim at attracting more public servants to change attitude towards government reforms as well as encouraging participation in the undertaking of the reforms and taking ownership of the same.

10.2.3 Media Relations MethodMedia Relations method shall be employed to inform or persuade a broader public. The media draws attention to the issue at hand through newspapers, magazines, television, radio and the Internet. Perhaps more than any other communications method employed, media relations will be considered highly especially in targeting the external as a secondary target group. As the Internet usage is

16

Page 28: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

rapidly increasing, it will be explored to ensure reliable and effective communication flow. In additionstrong relationships will be built and maintained with reporters and editors and will seek to establish PSRMU as a credible source of information.

17

Page 29: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

Collecting feedback and measuring the effectiveness of communication efforts validates that messages are received and understood by the stakeholders. This allows the Government to assess whether the development and deployment strategies are effective in achieving policy goals. In addition, feedback from stakeholders will help Government to assess the timeliness and appropriateness of messages, improve communications by updating the communications strategy to incorporate what was discovered during the feedback process, and assist in identifying key deployment issues, stakeholder concerns, and possible resolutions.

To ensure success of the communication strategy, feedback from stakeholders, mechanisms will be put in place to support two-way communication, stakeholder engagement, and communication effectiveness.

Mechanisms to collect feedback to measure performance will be both formal and informal. Formal mechanisms may include surveys, a suggestion box, or focus group sessions/ listening groups. Floor representatives may also be appointed to collect feedback. Informal mechanisms may consist of in-person discussions and e-mails.

11.1 Key Indicators for The Communication Strategy

a. Public awareness and increased knowledge of the government reforms

b. Increased participation of the public servants in the reforms process

c. Behavioural/attitude change among public servants

11.0 Review Procedures

18

Page 30: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

d. Greater publicity within and outside the government system

11.2 I n s t i t u t i o n a l F r a m e w o r k / implementation Arrangements

For effective execution of the communication Strategy, PSRMU shall identify government PROs and communication officers to enhance internal communication capacity and information flow. In addition, relevant stakeholders (primary target) will be involved at the stage of message development. Further, relevant stakeholders will be looped in at t h e s t a g e o f i n fo r m a t i o n d i s s e m i n a t i o n (editors/journalists/experts/legislators/PROs)

11.3 Communication Strategy Matrix A Matrix was developed for the Public Sector Reforms Communiation Strategy highlighting the aactivities to be implemented in order to acheive the specific objectives of the strategy. The Matix also includes the target audience, key message, channel, time frame and responsible person/office to implement the actvities. (Annex 1)

11.4 Work Plan and Tentative BudgetThe attached Communication Strategy Work Plan and Budget (Annex 2(a) and 2(b)) have been developed summarising the various activities. The Work Plan and total budget of K70, 113,126.15 are for a period of two years (the 2018/19 Financial Year and 2019/20 Financial Year) after which the strategy should be reviewed and a new work plan and budget be developed to suit the situation on ground.

19

Page 31: COMMUNICATION STRATEGY FOR THE MALAWI PUBLIC …

The PSRMU will endeavour to keep the Work Plan under review.

11.5 Monitoring and Evaluation Framework A comprehensive Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Framework has also been developed to facilitate the smooth implementation of the Communication Strategy. A baseline has been included in the M&E Framework from where progress can be compared (Annex 3).

11.6 Communications Feedback MatrixSpecific measures to review effectiveness will be developed and deployed in the Communications Feedback Matrix (Annex 4).

These will include reviewing:

a. The PSRMU – the extent to which the Unit is content with the communications strategy;

b. Public Servants – the extent to which they are aware of the PSRMU and the reforms being implemented, how it is being taken forward and its benefits; and

c. Public/ other Stakeholders - the level to which they are conversant with government reforms and its benefits and to enable them to provide feedback.
