Malawi to use voter cards for fertilizer subsidy

LILONGWE (Reuters) - Malawi said on Monday it would use voter registration cards to identify beneficiaries for fertiliser subsidies to help fight fraud, a move human rights activists said could leave thousands out.

This year 1.6 million people are earmarked to benefit from the seed and fertiliser subsidy programme compared with 1.2 million people last year.
