Stefan Leiderer et al. are employed, in addition to others, such as capacity or the distribution of responsibilities. The third shortcoming is the subject of a large body of literature that lays out conceptual and/or normative frameworks for PRS implementation, decentralisation and PFM respectively. These documents are often very sophisticated but equally often fail to acknowledge the specific contextual conditions within a particular country and to adapt the proposed strategies to this particular situation. In order to avoid this shortcoming, this study consists of a detailed case study on the interrelations of PRS implementation, decentralisation, and PFM in a particular developing country (Malawi). However, general conclusions that apply to other developing countries going through similar processes are carefully drawn from this case study. There are two reasons for examining these shortcomings. First, the study seeks to contribute to the current debate in international development cooperation. Second, by arriving at a better understanding of the issues under research, it aims at informing about relevant problems for decision-makers from the government and donor side. Research design The case study approach is used as overall design for this study as mentioned in the main text. As the interrelations between PRS implementation, decentralisation and PFM are very complex, the best results can be gained by studying a particular case in detail. Nevertheless, the overall aim of this study is to identify typical challenges and to arrive at careful generalisations, which could apply to similar processes in other developing countries as well. See Chapter 4 for the reasons why Malawi was selected as a case and how the two districts for the fieldwork were identified. The research project was divided into three broad phases: the preparation of the preliminary report in Bonn (14 weeks), fieldwork in Malawi (11 weeks) and finalisation of the report in Bonn (4 weeks). The second phase in Malawi can be subdivided into the periods in Lilongwe, in the districts, for data analysis and again in Lilongwe for the presentation and discussion of preliminary findings (see Table A1). 160 German Development Institute
