This report presents the findings of a study on the dynamics of law enforcement in high-level corruption cases in Malawi. The research project, Learning from effective law enforcement, is the first systematic study of law enforcement efforts targeting high-level (grand) corruption in Africa, presenting case studies of Nigeria and Malawi. It aims at identifying both enabling and constraining factors for effective law enforcement. The focus on the specifics of enforcement practice is new and provides evidence that has been missing in anti-corruption research.
