UNITED NATIONS IN MALAWI: SIX DECADES OF PARTNERSHIP AND A VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE PROGRESS
This year, Malawi and the United Nations mark a historic milestone: 60 years of partnership focused on building a more resilient, inclusive, and prosperous nation. Since 1964, just months after gaining independence, Malawi joined the global community through the United Nations, embarking on a shared mission to tackle the country’s most pressing development challenges. As we celebrate this six-decade-long collaboration, Malawi and the UN reflect on remarkable progress across areas such as health, education, governance, food security, and climate resilience, and look toward a future rich with possibility.Key Achievements and InitiativesThe United Nations’ journey with Malawi has been defined by a commitment to people-centered development, rooted in global development agendas. Over the years, the UN has played an instrumental role in strengthening Malawi’s healthcare system. For example, through joint efforts in immunization, over 90% of Malawian children under one year old are now routinely immunized, protecting young lives from preventable diseases and setting them on a path to a healthier future. Alongside these efforts, the UN and Malawi have made substantial gains in the fight against HIV. New infections have dropped by over 70% since 2010, and HIV treatment coverage has reached more than 90%, highlighting the nation’s progress toward achieving the health and wellness goals outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Legal identity, a right often overlooked, is one of Malawi’s most transformative achievements, made possible with UN support. Through the national registration initiative, over 12.5 million Malawians now have legal identification, making Malawi the first country in Sub-Saharan Africa to achieve the SDG 16.9 target on providing legal identity for all. This system has not only expanded access to healthcare and social services but has also strengthened the economic inclusion of marginalized communities, reinforcing the government’s ability to reach and support its citizens effectively. A Celebration of Unity and Inclusive ProgressThis year’s UN Day celebrations held at the Malingunde Resource Centre for Visually Impaired students underscored the theme “Building Tomorrow Today: Youth, Climate, and Prosperity in Malawi.” Attended by the guest of honour, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Honourable Nancy Tembo, MP, along with valued development partners, government officials, civil society leaders, the private sector, young people and community members, the event highlighted Malawi’s dedication to inclusive development. The choice of Malingunde, a learning center supporting students with visual impairments, was symbolic. It emphasized the UN's belief that inclusive education and support for people with disabilities are essential to Malawi’s vision for sustainable growth.The event featured inspiring speeches, performances, tree planting, and an intergenerational dialogue, demonstrating how UN Day is not just about marking a historical date but also about fostering hope and tangible change. One particular highlight was the commitment from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Honourable Nancy Tembo, MP, who reinforced Malawi’s dedication to advancing the “Pact for the Future”—a vision to create a world that is inclusive, equitable and sustainable. Minister Tembo emphasized the government's focus on supporting youth-led climate action, social innovation, and resilience-building initiatives, aligning with the Pact's goals to address the environmental and economic challenges that affect communities across Malawi. This commitment speaks to Malawi's ongoing efforts to ensure that young people, as leaders, are empowered to drive progress in their communities, demonstrating a collective pledge to leave no one behind. Empowering Youth and Promoting Sustainable Development In recent years, Malawi has faced increasing food insecurity challenges, largely exacerbated by climate change. Last year alone, acute food insecurity rose by an alarming 131%, but with UN assistance, food support reached 2.5 million people, helping to alleviate hunger in communities facing economic hardship. In response to these and other challenges, the UN’s new Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for 2024-2028 prioritizes climate adaptation and environmental protection. It emphasizes a dual approach of both immediate relief and sustainable, long-term development. This framework aligns closely with Malawi 2063, the country’s national vision for a middle-income, self-reliant and resilient nation.Through this framework, young people are positioned as the primary drivers of change. Recognizing that 80% of Malawi’s population is under 35 years old, the UN calls on youth to lead in shaping a resilient, climate-conscious future. Young Malawians are already innovating in green technology, advocating for climate-friendly practices, and actively participating in community-building initiatives. By equipping youth with resources, education and platforms, the UN envisions a future where Malawi’s youth can fully leverage their potential to address climate issues and drive sustainable economic development.Beyond climate action, the UN is actively supporting initiatives aimed at strengthening good governance, fostering human rights, and building peace. For example, joint programs like Afikepo, PROSPER, and the Joint Programme on Girls’ Education aim to build resilience, promote gender equality, and ensure that children, particularly girls, have access to quality education. Malawi’s commitment to these principles has also extended to the global stage. Since 1994, Malawian peacekeepers have served in conflict zones across the world reflecting Malawi’s dedication to global peace and security. Unity for Sustainable ProgressAs the United Nations looks ahead to its next chapter in Malawi, it is calling on a broad coalition of partners, including the government, civil society, the private sector, development partners and young people, to join forces in promoting sustainable development and addressing key challenges. The pressing issues Malawi faces—from the immediate and long-term impacts of climate change to the ongoing needs in health, education, and economic stagnation—require a united front and a commitment to meaningful, enduring change.As UN Resident Coordinator Rebecca Adda-Dontoh remarked at the UN Day celebration, this 60-year partnership is a journey not only of challenges overcome but of a shared commitment to a vision where every Malawian can thrive. As the UN and Malawi continue this journey together, our combined efforts demonstrate the power of unity and the enduring impact of a partnership focused on sustainable, equitable and inclusive progress for all.With a renewed vision and a steadfast dedication to the country’s future, the UN remains committed to supporting Malawi’s journey toward a brighter, more prosperous and resilient tomorrow.

In response, President Chakwera expressed heartfelt gratitude for the UN's unwavering support in advancing Malawi's development aspirations. He underscored the practical significance of the partnership forged, rooted in shared values and a common vision for progress. "In embracing the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework, we reaffirm our dedication to the well-being and prosperity of all Malawians," affirmed President Chakwera. "Our partnership with the UN is not merely symbolic but practical, underscored by our joint commitment to translating policies into tangible outcomes." The President outlined Malawi's strategic priorities, stressing the imperative of inclusive economic growth and sustainable development across key sectors such as agriculture, mining, trade and tourism. He further confirmed the alignment of the Cooperation Framework priorities with the government's own development priorities, emphasizing the synergy between the two agendas in driving progress for Malawi. His words echoed a sense of urgency, emphasizing the need for concerted efforts to address the nation's multifaceted challenges. With mutual determination and a shared vision for progress, the meeting concluded on a note of optimism. Both parties pledged to work hand in hand, leveraging the UNSDCF as a guiding framework to propel Malawi towards a brighter and more prosperous future.

Multistakeholder Dialogue Paves the Way for Malawi's SDG Rescue Plan
On the eve of the global SDG Summit, the Government of Malawi convened stakeholders from civil society, the private sector, academia, the media, and development partners for an inclusive dialogue aimed at mobilising broad based support for its “SDG Rescue Plan.”
Malawi has confronted an array of challenges that imperil its progress towards the SDGs. Cyclones, pandemics, and conflicts have rolled back hard-won gains achieved in critical areas like poverty alleviation, food security, healthcare, education, water resource management and economic growth. The nation's path to achieving the SDGs by 2030 is at risk and demands urgent corrective action.
The 2022 Voluntary National Review report found that Malawi's progress towards the SDGs has reached a critical juncture, with only 18 percent on target, 41 percent making moderate progress and a concerning 41 percent falling behind.
Recognizing the urgency to put Malawi back on a path to inclusive, sustainable growth and development, the Government, with the support of UNDP, carried out an SDG Push Diagnostic which produced an integrated SDG Insights Report that helped to determine SDG interlinkages that revealed how actions directed towards one SDG can impact others.
As a result, the Integrated SDG Insights Report has helped Malawi to uncover how SDG interactions can help the country to achieve the 2030 Agenda while navigating trade-offs.
Facing high stakes and formidable challenges, Malawi has set ambitious targets to accelerate achievement of the SDGs in this decade of action. Malawi has identified 5 priority areas with high multiplier effects for investment and policy change that will help secure maximum progress across the SDGs. The areas that will be prioritised are women's empowerment, job creation, sustainable industrialization, resilient urban planning, institution building, and good governance.
Through strategic investment in these 5 areas, the Government hopes to reduce national poverty from 50.7% to 35.3% by 2027 and further to 26% by 2030. The Government also hopes to reduce inequality levels by increasing the growth rate of household expenditure or income per capita from 1.27% to 6.7 % by 2027 and 10% by 2030.
During the multistakeholder dialogue, Ms. Rebecca Adda-Dontoh, UN Resident Coordinator for Malawi, stressed the immense potential inherent in collaboration among stakeholders. "In unity," she declared, "we find strength. Together, we can overcome even the most formidable challenges and translate our commitment into tangible SDG progress."
For her part, Malawi’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon. Nancy Tembo, echoed the call for unified action to drive SDG realization. She passionately proclaimed, "Let's make our seats at the table seats of progress and be the change we want to see. We are the architects of our destiny, and together, we shall build a more prosperous and equitable Malawi."
The dialogue provided a platform for all stakeholders to explore how they can contribute to SDG advancement. In terms of policy advocacy, Government officials were urged to utilize their positions to advocate for policies and legislation aligned with the SDGs.
Private sector leaders were encouraged to invest in sustainable and socially responsible business practices. Other stakeholders including CSO, Youth, Accademia and Communities were also encouraged to actively participate in SDG implementation.
This multistakeholder dialogue served as a prelude to the forthcoming SDG summit, scheduled for later this month. The summit is expected to provide an expanded platform for in-depth discussions and commitments aimed at advancing the SDG agenda in Malawi. Insights and priorities gleaned from this dialogue will play a central role in shaping the discussions and driving action during the summit.
As Malawi continues its journey towards SDG realization, these collaborative endeavours are poised to ensure inclusivity, leaving no one behind, and propelling the nation toward a more sustainable and equitable future. The introduction of the "SDG Rescue Plan" marks a resolute step in this direction, demonstrating Malawi's steadfast commitment to surmount challenges and secure a prosperous future for all its citizens.

PAVING THE PATH TO PROGRESS: MALAWI GOVERNMENT AND UNITED NATIONS UNITE TO CHART THE WAY TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
In a momentous occasion that echoed commitment and hope, the Government of Malawi and the United Nations in Malawi have come together to seal a transformative commitment through the signing of the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2024-2028.
The significance of this historical juncture was underscored by the Resident Coordinator of the United Nations in Malawi, Rebecca Adda-Dontoh. "The signing of a Cooperation Framework represents a bold new commitment to strengthen partnerships to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and national development priorities," she proclaimed. This pact represents a beacon of renewed hope, embodying our collective pledge to positively transform the lives of people in Malawi while safeguarding the planet for generations to come.
Challenges such as climate-induced disasters, health crises, and geopolitical conflicts have not deterred Malawi from its unwavering resolve to achieve the SDGs by 2030 and the goals set forth in Malawi 2063, the country’s long-term development blueprint. The UNSDCF 2024-2028 aims to reinvigorate the country's development trajectory, leveraging six pivotal transitions spanning food systems, energy access, digital connectivity, education, jobs, and climate change to spur accelerated action towards Agenda 2030.
Imbued with principles of inclusivity, human rights, gender equality, resilience, sustainability, and accountability at its core, the framework stands as a testament to a joint commitment to the people of Malawi. The Government of Malawi and the United Nations pledge to work hand in hand, ensuring transparency and accountability in delivering on the ambitions of the Cooperation Framework.
"The signing of the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework for Malawi 2024-2028 marks a new beginning, infusing our nation with a sense of renewed hope and possibility for meaningful transformation in the years ahead," remarked Colleen Zamba, Secretary to the President and Cabinet, as she addressed the gathering at Capital Hill in Lilongwe. "We recognize the significant journey ahead, a collective effort aimed at uplifting the lives and aspirations of all Malawians. I wholeheartedly reaffirm the government’s unwavering commitment to this Cooperation Framework."
Zamba continued, emphasizing the collaborative spirit that shaped this visionary roadmap. "It's essential to acknowledge the extensive collaboration between the Government of Malawi and the UN Country Team, whose dedication over the past year has brought forth this ambitious yet achievable roadmap. Aligned with our national blueprint, Malawi 2063, and medium-term development plans, this framework stands as a testament to our shared commitment toward sustainable development and progress."
This partnership, which envisages investment of US$1.7 billion over five years, is poised to bring about profound transformation across four priority areas: sustainable, diversified, and inclusive economic growth; strengthened institutional governance; sustainable investments in human capital development; and climate change adaptation alongside environmental sustainability.
Approximately $600 million has already been allocated within the framework, a testament to the substantial contribution expected in crucial sectors like education, health, and climate change adaptation, as highlighted by UN representative in Malawi, Rebecca Adda-Dontoh.
The signing of the UNSDCF 2024-2028 stands as a pivotal milestone in Malawi's pursuit of sustainable development. It signifies a resolute step towards realizing a brighter, inclusive, and prosperous future for all people in Malawi.

Coordination Saves Lives: UN Resident Coordinator's Office Leading the Way in Cyclone Freddy Response
"We have lost everything. Our house was destroyed, and we have no food or water. We are desperate for help." - Mary Phiri, Resident of Phalombe District & Cyclone Freddy survivor.
In the aftermath of Tropical Cyclone Freddy's devastating impact on Malawi, the strength of leadership and collaborative efforts has become paramount in rebuilding shattered lives. We highlight the stories of resilience and the indispensable role played by the coordination in mobilising UN Agencies and the international community to support the government to respond to this calamity.
The fury of Tropical Cyclone Freddy spared very few, leaving thousands of Malawians in the southern districts without hope for food security this year. The prevailing sentiment among many Malawians is poignantly captured by Mary Phiri, who, like so many others, witnessed all of their life possessions being washed away by the ravaging flood waters of the cyclone.
Amidst the widespread devastation, the agricultural sector suffered the most significant blow, with crops and livestock decimated by the heavy rains. The government estimates that over 50,000 hectares of farmland have been destroyed, posing a severe threat to food security in the affected areas.
But the impact goes beyond agriculture. The cyclone has also dealt a severe blow to infrastructure and the economy. Roads and bridges have been damaged, hindering transportation and access to markets. Businesses have been disrupted, affecting local economies and livelihoods. The rebuilding process will require concerted efforts and support to revive the economic activities that sustain communities.
Furthermore, the health sector has not been spared. Malawi was already grappling with a cholera outbreak, and the cyclone exacerbated the situation. Access to clean water and sanitation facilities became even more dire. Efforts to provide safe water supply, hygiene promotion, and disease prevention measures require to be intensified to prevent further health crises and protect vulnerable communities.
In response to this humanitarian crisis, the UN Country Team, under the leadership of Resident Coordinator, Rebecca Adda-Dontoh, rallied 60 UN agencies and non-governmental organizations to deliver life-saving assistance to affected communities. Their collective efforts have played a crucial role in providing immediate support and paving the way for long-term recovery.
"In the weeks since this tragedy struck, I have been absolutely inspired by the many people who have helped their neighbours and fellow Malawians impacted by Tropical Cyclone Freddy. In support of these incredible communities and the government-led response, we have provided life-saving assistance. However, much more remains to be done." - Rebecca Adda-Dontoh, UN Resident Coordinator in Malawi.
Recognizing the urgency, the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERP) swiftly released US$5.5 million to support the humanitarian response in Malawi. These funds have been instrumental in providing emergency shelter, food, and medical assistance to the most vulnerable. However, the journey towards recovery is far from over.
Education has been severely disrupted, with hundreds of schools damaged or converted into temporary shelters. UN Malawi, in collaboration with local partners, is working tirelessly to ensure that nearly 1.3 million affected children receive the support they need to continue their education.
The UN Malawi has been a vital lifeline, utilizing helicopters to reach isolated communities that were completely cut off by the cyclone. Their Home-Grown School Feeding interventions, supported by the European Union, provide sustained access to nutritious meals for over 38,000 children in Chikwawa, Nsanje, Phalombe, and Zomba Districts.
Furthermore, UN agencies are working collaboratively to provide essential protection services. Through awareness programmes on the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse, child rights education, gender-based violence, and early child marriage, they have reached at least 24,200 individuals, including nearly 11,700 children.
UN Malawi showcased unwavering dedication in supporting those affected by Cyclone Freddy through the provision of crucial shelter and protection services. The primary focus was to ensure that individuals impacted by the disaster had access to secure and safe shelter, offering them a haven from the chaos and uncertainty. Concurrently, comprehensive protection measures were implemented to safeguard the rights and well-being of vulnerable individuals, including raising awareness about critical issues such as sexual exploitation and abuse, child rights, gender-based violence, and early child marriage. These interventions had a direct and transformative impact on the lives of thousands, providing immediate relief, a sense of security, and the essential support needed to rebuild and move forward.
Amidst these challenging circumstances, the UNRCO in close collaboration with OCHA, is at the forefront of coordination efforts, ensuring that assistance reaches those most in need. The office has facilitated the collaboration of various UN agencies, non-governmental organizations, and development partners, emphasizing the value of coordination, including in emergency situations.
The Malawian government, in conjunction with humanitarian partners, has conducted a comprehensive Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA). This assessment provides valuable insights into the extent of the damage caused by Cyclone Freddy and serves as a blueprint for long-term recovery. It underscores the importance of building back better and creating more resilient communities that can withstand future disasters.
The path to recovery and rehabilitation will undoubtedly be a long one, but the resilience and determination of the Malawian people are unwavering. However, together we can rebuild shattered communities, overcome this disaster, and forge a path toward a more resilient future.

Bold, Bankable, and Breaking Barriers
In a celebration of resilience and innovation, more than 500 women entrepreneurs convened in Malawi’s largest cities in April 2025 for the Bold and Bankable event- a collaboration between NBS Bank and UN Women Malawi. This event, part of a three-city series, highlighted the leadership of women in business while addressing the systemic barriers that hinder their growth.Under the theme, #AccelerateAction for the 2025 International Women’s Day, the events were more than just celebration of women in business; they served as a call for action. Keynote speakers, including NBS Bank CEO Temwani Simwaka and UN Women Representative Letty Chiwara, emphasized the pressing need for financial reforms to unlock women’s economic potential.The event showcased inspiring success stories, such as the Machisosa Women’s Cooperative in Lilongwe, which transformed an MWK 26,000 loan into a flourishing soybean enterprise, uplifting 15,000 women in their community. Another standout was Kwanza Cocoa, owned by Wezi Mzumara, Malawi’s only craft-chocolate maker, who is not only establishing a business but also empowering women by providing cocoa seedlings and opportunities.“This is not charity—it’s strategy,” asserted Chiwara. “When you empower a woman’s business, you change the destiny of her family, her community, and ultimately, this nation.”However, despite these achievements, challenges remain. Women entrepreneurs continue to encounter limited access to credit, markets, and training. Many expressed their frustrations regarding inflexible loan conditions that do not correspond with agricultural cycles. The interactive "table chats" at the event provided actionable insights. Women advocated for customized financial products, including flexible repayment schedules linked to harvests, as well as digital tools aimed at reaching rural entrepreneurs. The necessity for capacity-building programs to enhance business skills was highlighted, along with the need for grants, rather than solely loans, to assist women-led enterprises in expanding. NBS Bank acknowledged this. "We are dedicated to breaking down barriers," stated Simwaka. "This feedback will inform our future actions." She said. The Bold and Bankable initiative did not end with speeches and networking, it sparked momentum. In the aftermath of the events, NBS and UN Women are collaborating to develop strategies for gender-responsive banking solutions, particularly for women in rural areas who are often left behind. Simultaneously, media coverage amplified the voices of women entrepreneurs, pushing the conversation to a national level. As the last event ended, one question remained in the atmosphere: Will Malawi’s financial sector rise to meet the challenge? The women have spoken, their voices clear and their demands undeniable—access, equity, and opportunity.

Movement Makers: The Resilience and Leadership of Women Driving Change
The sun casts a warm glow over the dusty paths of Mwangolera Village in Karonga, located in northern Malawi, as Mercy Ndhlovie heads to yet another community meeting. Five years prior, she would have walked these same paths with her gaze lowered, just another overlooked woman in a system designed to silence her. Today, she strides with assurance—serving as a community leader, advocate, and a living example of the strength women can wield when equipped with the necessary tools to assert their voices.Ndhlovie's journey mirrors that of many women in Malawi and beyond, raised with the belief that their worth is insignificant in society. "We were taught that men made the decisions, owned the land, and led the communities. Women simply endured." she states. The turning point arrived in 2019 when Ndhlovie participated in a workshop organized by UN Women's Women Empowerment Programme (WEP). Supported by the Norwegian government, this initiative operated across six districts in Malawi to address the fundamental causes of gender inequality through leadership training, economic empowerment, and advocacy."Those trainings felt like awakening from a prolonged slumber," Ndhlovie reflects. For the first time, she became aware of her rights—to safety, economic independence, and participation in decision-making. More significantly, she realized she was not alone; numerous women in Karonga were experiencing the same awakening.As the WEP training sessions advanced, a remarkable change unfolded in Karonga. The women began to implement their newfound knowledge. Ndhlovie and her peers started to question the absence of women in their village development committees. They confronted local leaders regarding unjust land inheritance practices. They established savings groups to pool resources for small business ventures. With the backing of UN Women and a local partner, the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace (CCJP), they began to witness tangible results.By the end of the WEP program in 2020, the women of Karonga found themselves at a crucial crossroads. Would their advancements diminish in the absence of external assistance? In response, Ndhlovie and thirty other women made a courageous choice: they would continue their efforts independently. They subsequently established a group named Women Economic Platform (WEP), after the original project. The group brought women together by sharing personal stories in trusted spaces—like markets and wells—then turned these gatherings into advocacy hubs. They rotated leadership roles in meetings to keep everyone engaged, connected savings groups with to leadership skills transfer and mentored women. What started as a small assembly of determined women has evolved into a robust collective movement of 131 members advocating for change, convening monthly, and entirely funded by member contributions of 500 Malawi Kwacha each.The effects have been transformative. In local councils where women were previously marginalized, they now hold half of the leadership roles, a result of a deliberate 50/50 national policy that the group championed. "Now, if a man is the chairperson, a woman must serve as the vice-chair," Ndhlovie explains. "This was unimaginable in the past."Their advocacy has led to significant systemic changes. For instance, WEP members uncovered that local contracts in their area were routinely awarded to male contractors through non-transparent processes at the district council. As a collective, they demanded accountability through advocacy meetings with council leaders. Today, women-owned businesses are successfully competing for these local council opportunities.Most notably, the group has effectively challenged long-standing norms regarding land ownership. In Karonga District, patriarchal customs have historically placed women at a disadvantage, fostering a culture that denies them the right to inherit property, including land. The WEP movement has been instrumental in challenging these injustices by intervening in land and property disputes. In communities where such customs previously barred women from inheriting property, the movement now ensures that widows and daughters can rightfully claim their inheritance.The impact extends beyond policy reforms. Chief Mwangolera, one of the few female chiefs in Karonga, has emerged as a formidable advocate for women's empowerment. "In the past, women wouldn’t even voice their opinions in meetings," she observes. "Now they are actively participating." She said. It is noteworthy that three-quarters of the members of the Women Empowerment Platform occupy various roles within their communities and localities. In 2025, five WEP members are set to contest as councillors in the general elections in Malawi, particularly in the Mwangolera region. As Ndhlovie observes the latest group of women arriving for their monthly meeting, her expression brightens. "We're just getting started," she remarks. This simple yet impactful statement encapsulates the core of UN Women's mission—supporting women's movements that are effecting change in Malawi and creating a lasting impact for future generations.

Smallholder tea association taking lead in sustaining youth empowerment initiatives in Malawi
Msuwadzi Tea Association, one of the members of the National Tea Growers Association (NSTGA), is located in Thyolo District in the Southern Region of Malawi. It is one of the 2 associations and 1 cooperative in the District who with a commitment to support youth within their communities to enhance their employability and venture into entrepreneurship through vocational skills development. The Association has taken the initiative of using its own funds to provide apprenticeship for the beneficiaries of the ILO project called Accelerating the elimination of child labour in global supply chains in Africa (ACCEL Africa) which is funded by the Government of Netherlands. From 2018-2024 in Malawi the ACCEL Africa project focused on tea supply chain in Mulanje and Thyolo; and coffee supply chain in Ntchisi, Mzimba and Chitipa Districts. Youth empowerment through vocational skills 3-months training in various trades is one of the key intervention areas which has been implemented in collaboration with TEVETA, District Councils (including the following offices: Labour, Youth, Community Development, and Social Welfare). This has led to 282 youth successfully graduating, of which 132 youth (98 male, 34 female) were from tea growing districts. “The program was good as it empowered our youth who also received start up toolkits. The Association has engaged a Tailor, who is also from the community, to train the 3 female beneficiaries to improve their skills further as the period for project support was only for three months” Said Mr. Harrison Maulidi, the Chairperson of the Association. The Association is making the payment amounting to MWK200,000 (approximately 114 USD, at MWK1751/USD) for a period of 3 months for the apprenticeship services the Tailor is providing to the girls, and the working space at their center (office). The materials being used are the start up toolkits the project gave the beneficiaries and the cloths brought by customers. As the Association is taking its role in ensuring that the skills of beneficiaries are improving, parents were also engaged to take part in the initiative by providing food for lunch during the apprenticeship period. The beneficiaries—Margret Moses (20), Thokozani Tambala (21), and Chinsisi Westoni (20)—share a similar background marked by significant livelihood challenges. They experienced periods without food, were forced to drop out of school due to financial hardship, and relied on informal piece work to survive. Thanks to the support provided by the project and the association, they are now filled with hope. With new skills and opportunities, these young women are on a path to realizing their dreams of becoming designers and achieving financial independence. The Chairperson of the NSTGA, Mr. Jones Muhilima mentioned “we were involved in all the processes including identification of the beneficiaries. Even without support, we continue to monitor the beneficiaries and provide any necessary support we can. Some of the beneficiaries have also found employment, and others are doing own businesses”. Msuwadzi Tea Association plans to continue supporting youth within the community and utilise the project beneficiaries to train others. The ACCEL Africa project used the associations and cooperatives which exists within the communities, through the Districts Councils, to support the youth and livelihoods empowerment. As such, there is great sense of ownership among these structures which leads to them taking own initiatives to continue supporting the youth. This is sustainable good practice which is sustainable.

Why Investing in Malawi’s Women Farmers Pays Off
Before the start of the Agriculture Sector Wide Approach Support Project (ASWAP-SP II), agriculture was primarily a means of survival. "Now, it has transformed into a business, and we are in charge," says Esnart Vula, chairperson of the Mpherere Cooperative from central Malawi, her voice filling with pride.Esnart’s experience exemplifies the impact of ASWAP-SP II, which is being implemented by UN Women in collaboration with the Malawi Government, with financial backing from the World Bank. From 2018 to 2023, this initiative empowered thousands of women smallholder farmers, effectively narrowing the gender productivity gap and transforming agricultural practices in the area.Founded in 2013, Mpherere Cooperative faced challenges for several years in making a meaningful impact. By 2020, its operations had diminished, and its members- mostly women-were struggling to meet their families' food requirements. However, the situation changed dramatically when UN Women intervened through ASWAP-SP II.Currently, the cooperative boasts 176 members, 102 of whom are women, paving the way not only food security, and contribution to economic growth but leadership of women in agriculture. Esnart Vula, a 34-year-old mother of three and farmer, leads the group, "UN Women provided us with more than just tools and training; they offered us a vision," she remarks. "They demonstrated that farming could extend beyond mere subsistence; it could serve as a pathway to a brighter future for our families and communities. “she said. Thanks to the project, the cooperative has gained access to cutting-edge agricultural technologies, gender-sensitive extension services, and essential market connections. They now supply potatoes and vegetables to one of Malawi’s largest hotels and sell legumes to a prominent oil manufacturing company.UN Women’s initiatives addressed longstanding gender disparities, empowering women to assume leadership roles in agriculture. Esnart’s role as chairperson stands as a powerful testament to this social and economic transformation, the resilience and power of women. The project also fostered gender equality within households through the Household Approach methodology. By training extension officers and facilitating gender dialogue sessions, UN Women promoted collaborative decision-making and planning between men and women. “Now I can contribute on how our household money is spent. Before, my husband said our culture didn’t allow me, as a woman, to have a say” said Gome Levison Banda, a farmer from Mzimba.The achievements of the Mpherere Cooperative exemplify the extensive and transformative impact of ASWAP-SP II in women’s lives. Between September 2020 and June 2023, UN Women engaged with 117,074 farmers, including 67,694 women, across ten different value chains including maize, soybeans, groundnuts, and livestock. These farmers collectively produced over 2,561 metric tons of crops, resulting in sales amounting to MWK 353,362,281 (USD 207,860). Additionally, UN Women facilitated connections for farmers to formal markets, including those in seed and cooking oil processing. Through training in value addition, packaging, and negotiation skills, the project empowered those women farmers to compete effectively in lucrative markets. ASWAP-SP II has established a benchmark for gender-transformative agricultural development. By tackling both economic and social obstacles, UN Women has demonstrated that investing in the empowerment of women in agriculture transforms lives and accelerates the country’s economic growth.

Unlocking Potential: Growth Accelerator Cohort 10 Puts Women at the Centre of Malawi’s Innovation Economy
On April 1, 2025, UNDP Malawi, with support from the German Development Cooperation through the German Development Bank (KfW) and the Royal Norwegian Embassy, joined partners in launching a bold new chapter for inclusive economic development with the launch of the Growth Accelerator (GA) Cohort 10, dedicated exclusively to women in entrepreneurship.Held in Lilongwe, the double launch of GA Cohorts 9 (Digital Entrepreneurship) and 10 (Women in Entrepreneurship) was a powerful display of innovation, ambition, and partnership, placing women and technology at the heart of Malawi’s transformation journey.Cohort 10 was launched under the theme “Women in Entrepreneurship: Accelerating Women-Owned Sustainable Investments Through Cross-Sector Innovations.”In line with the UNDP Country Office Gender Equality Strategy, a key thematic priority area is enhancing economic empowerment through private sector engagement on gender equality. This dedicated cohort is designed to dismantle the barriers that have long hindered women’s access to entrepreneurial resources, funding, and business development support. It serves as a practical response to the gendered financing gap, reaffirming UNDP’s commitment to gender equality and inclusive growth.“Women’s participation in entrepreneurship is vital not only for achieving gender equality but also for fostering economic resilience. This cohort is designed to support women-led businesses across critical sectors of the economy. By empowering women entrepreneurs, we are fostering inclusivity and strengthening the backbone of our society," said UNDP Resident Representative Ms. Fenella Frost during her keynote address at the launch. She stressed the strategic importance of such investments, noting: “Small and Medium Enterprises face a series of challenges, such as high borrowing costs. We hope that the accelerator provides a low-cost financing option to propel business growth.”Speaking at the launch, German Ambassador to Malawi Ms. Ute König highlighted the financial support available through the programme, in alignment with Malawi’s long-term development agenda, Malawi 2063.“So, through the accelerator, successful entrepreneurs will get a good package of training, of mentorship, and they will be able to also get finance. They can get up to $ 40,000 as grants if their business idea succeeds," she said. Launched in 2018 as a partnership between UNDP and the Royal Norwegian Embassy, the programme offers this financing with support from the German Development Bank (KfW). Since then, the Growth Accelerator has supported over 97 entrepreneurs across eight cohorts, creating more than 761 jobs and reaching over 54,000 people along key value chains.Cohort 10 supports women-led businesses that are post-revenue and poised for scale. Through a blend of six-month business advisory services, tailored mentorship, and access to co-financing of up to USD 40,000, the programme nurtures ventures with the potential to contribute to Malawi’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and societal transformation.At least 50% of the business ownership must be held by a woman or women, and the businesses must demonstrate innovation and a capacity for impact across various sectors, including agribusiness, digital innovation, energy, education, and healthcare.This year’s event also celebrated the voices and impact of previous GA beneficiaries. The audience heard from Rachel Kumwenda, founder of Drone Link, who underscored how earlier GA cohorts had unlocked both investor confidence and growth potential for her venture."Before GA, I had the dream but not the wings. Today, I fly drones for a living—and employ other young women to do the same," said Rachel, drawing a standing ovation.Also present during the launch was the United Nations Women Representative for Malawi, Letty Chawara, reinforcing the collective commitment of the UN family to advancing gender equality through innovation and entrepreneurship.At a glance: Growth Accelerator Cohort 10Target: Women-owned (50%+) post-revenue businessesSupport: Up to USD 40,000 in co-financing, 6 months of advisory and mentorshipSectors: Open to all; focus on SDG-aligned impactPartners: Landell Mills, Imani Development, University Innovation Pod (UNIPOD), Renew Capital, German Development Cooperation (KfW), Royal Norwegian EmbassyUNDP’s message is clear: when women lead, economies grow.

Malawi Peace and Unity Commission Signs Landmark MoU with CMD to Strengthen Peacebuilding Efforts
Lilongwe, 17 April 2025 – The Malawi Peace and Unity Commission (MPUC) convened a breakfast meeting today in Lilongwe, during which a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed with the Centre for Multiparty Democracy (CMD). The event provided an opportunity to highlight key milestones achieved since the Commission’s establishment, engage stakeholders in meaningful dialogue on peacebuilding, and reflect on progress made under the SDG Acceleration Fund (SDG-AF) Project.The meeting brought together representatives from the government, development partners, civil society, and faith-based organisations committed to sustaining peace in Malawi.The agreement paves the way for enhanced coordination in political dialogue, civic education, insider mediation, and joint efforts to prevent and resolve political disputes, including electoral related disputes as we go towards September, 2025 elections.Rev. Dr. Zacc Kawalala, Vice Chairperson of the MPUC, reinforced the importance of collaboration:“The MoU signed today between the Malawi Peace and Unity Commission and the Centre for Multiparty Democracy symbolises the collaborative nature of peacebuilding work envisaged by the Peace and Unity Act, 2022. Realising sustainable peace, unity, and security requires joint efforts of all players in the peacebuilding ecosystem and systematic coordination of those efforts.”Dr. Elias Chakwera, Chairperson of CMD, said:“This partnership signals our unified vision for a peaceful and democratic Malawi. CMD remains committed to fostering a political culture that values dialogue over division. Working alongside the Commission, we aim to contribute to a peaceful environment where every citizen and every party has a place at the table.”Since its establishment in November 2023, the Commission has been working towards establishing a fully-functional Secretariat, developed strategic operational documents, established District Peace and Unity Committees (DPUCs) in Nsanje, Thyolo, Machinga and Nkhotakota, and strengthened partnerships with community actors.Rev. Dr Zacc Kawalala highlighted the Commission’s journey and collaboration with key actors:“What has been showcased today are the achievements that the Commission has registered in the past one year and five months. These mainly constitute achievements towards laying a foundation for the Commission’s work. The support rendered by development partners has been instrumental, and we look forward to even greater collaboration in our mission to promote peace and unity across the country”.He emphasised that the challenges ahead, particularly with the upcoming 2025 general elections, require even stronger partnerships.“The task ahead of us in 2025 requires more support from development partners and joint efforts by all players. The Commission also commits to collaborating with other actors to realise its vision of a country with enduring peace and unity for robust political stability and socio-economic development”.UN Resident Coordinator Rebecca Adda-Dontoh underscored the importance of sustaining peace through continuous engagement and inclusivity: “Peace is not a one-time achievement but a continuous process. We must create platforms for ongoing dialogue and negotiation, adapting to changing contexts and emerging challenges like the current context, where elections are an emotive process. How do we ensure political contestation does not degenerate into violent conflict?”The breakfast meeting reaffirmed that peacebuilding in Malawi is a shared responsibility, and the Commission called on all stakeholders—citizens, political leaders, and partners—to remain engaged and supportive as it expands its structures and deepens its work nationwide.The Malawi Peace and Unity Commission acknowledges with gratitude the invaluable support provided by the Embassy of Ireland and the United Nations Joint SDG-AF Fund. Their contributions have been pivotal in enabling the Commission to achieve key milestones, including the establishment of operational structures, the development of strategic frameworks, and the strengthening of local peace mechanisms. This support continues to play a crucial role in advancing the Commission’s mission to build and sustain peace throughout Malawi.

UN MALAWI CELEBRATES 60 YEARS OF PARTNERSHIP AND PROGRESS: BUILDING A BRIGHTER FUTURE TOGETHER
24 October 2024, Lilongwe – The United Nations today celebrates 60 years of partnership with the Government and people of Malawi, reflecting on a journey of shared commitment to sustainable development, peace, and prosperity. Since joining the UN in 1964, just months after independence, Malawi has worked closely with the UN to address critical national challenges, in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the other global commitments before the SDGs. This enduring partnership has contributed to improvements in health, education, governance, food security, and climate resilience.Over the past six decades, the UN has supported Malawi in tackling some of its most pressing issues, including poverty, food insecurity, and public health challenges. In 2023 alone, Malawi faced a 131 percent increase in acute food insecurity, the UN provided food assistance to 2.5 million people, helping to alleviate hunger and suffering. At the same time, Malawi achieved over 90 percent routine immunization coverage for children under one year, reduced by more than 70% new HIV infections, from 2010 to 2023, and substantially increased coverage of HIV treatment to over 90% of people living with HIV, ensuring the future health and well-being of its youngest citizens.Through UN support, Malawi has been able to provide digital legal identity to 12.5 million people 16+years and it is the first country in Sub Saharan African to achieve SDG 16 target 9 providing legal identity to all. By providing millions with formal identification, this system enhances access to medical and social services, improves economic opportunities, and fosters social inclusion for all citizens. The UN has also contributed to strengthening learning in Malawi, particularly at foundational level, with nearly 90 per cent of primary school aged children enrolled in school.Reflecting on the UN’s long-standing partnership with Malawi, UN Resident Coordinator Rebecca Adda-Dontoh stated: "For 60 years, the United Nations has stood alongside Malawi in its pursuit of economic transformation, sustainable development, resilience, sustaining peace and communities and progress. From responding to natural disasters to promoting public health, education, and a national peace architecture, our partnership has been instrumental in addressing challenges and seizing opportunities. As we look to the future, we remain steadfast in our commitment to support Malawi in building a more inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous society.”“As we celebrate this milestone, we recognize that the future of Malawi lies in the hands of its people, especially the youth. Today’s youth are not just the beneficiaries of development, but the drivers of change. As climate change continues to pose significant risks to the nation’s agriculture, livelihoods, and communities, the role of young people in climate action has never been more critical.”Under the new United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for 2024-2028, young people are central to our agenda. The framework emphasizes strategic pillars aimed at promoting sustainable, diversified, and inclusive growth; strengthening institutional governance; ensuring sustainable investments in human capital development; and adapting to climate change, reversing environmental degradation, and supporting energy transformation.The UN calls on Malawi’s youth to take a leading role in building a more resilient and prosperous future. Whether through innovation in green technologies, entrepreneurship, peacebuilding or community-led climate initiatives, young people have the power to transform their communities and the nation at large. By embracing sustainable practices and promoting inclusive development, the youth can help ensure that no one is left behind in Malawi’s journey towards prosperity.Together, with the energy and dedication of Malawi’s youth, and in partnership with the Government, civil society, academia, the media, development partners and the private sector, the UN stands ready to step up its support in addressing the challenges ahead. We must unite our efforts to ensure a better, more sustainable future for all people in Malawi.

The United Nations and Humanitarian Partners appeal for US$136.5 million to assist people affected by El Niño-induced Drought in Malawi
Lilongwe, 24 July – The United Nations (UN), in collaboration with the Government of Malawi, has launched a Flash Appeal to address the devastating impacts of El Niño-induced drought currently affecting the country. The appeal requires US$136.5 million to provide life-saving assistance, including food to 4.7 million most vulnerable people.On 23 March this year, President Lazarus Chakwera declared a state of disaster in 23 out of 28 districts due to inadequate rains and prolonged dry spells that have severely damaged crops and food production. The Government estimates that around 44 per cent of the national maize crop area has been severely impacted. Additionally, other vital crops such as rice, soya beans, cowpeas and groundnuts have suffered significant damage, while over 80 per cent of the population depends on agriculture for their livelihoods. The preliminary assessment of the impact of El Niño, referenced in the state of disaster declaration, indicated that nearly 2 million farming families, representing over 9 million people, have been experiencing substantial losses in agricultural production.Meanwhile, the food security situation in the country is precarious, with 4.2 million people projected to face acute food insecurity between May and September this year, according to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification analysis. With the impacts of the drought, these people will struggle to meet their basic food needs. Rebecca Adda-Dontoh, the UN Resident Coordinator, highlighted the critical nature of the situation, stating, “The severity of this drought calls for immediate and coordinated action. This Flash Appeal is designed to support the national response efforts, addressing urgent needs and filling critical gaps to ensure comprehensive relief. We must act swiftly to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe and support the people of Malawi in this time of crisis.”The Flash Appeal aims to complement the National El Niño-induced prolonged dry spells and Floods Response Appeal launched by the Government of Malawi in April 2024. It seeks to build upon national initiatives and address areas not covered by the national plan, ensuring that the response is comprehensive and effective.The priority for this appeal is food assistance, which requires approximately $50.7 million to support food procurement, distribution and cash transfers to the most vulnerable people. The funds will be crucial in providing immediate relief and preventing further deterioration of the food and nutrition security situation in the country.The UN and partners call on the international community and donors to support this Flash Appeal and stand with the people of Malawi.
