European Union nations pledged to help Malawi address its economic hardships and pursue development objectives at a gathering on Wednesday morning in Lilongwe. Finance Minister Joseph Mwanamvekha requested immediate support for food shortages, fuel supplies, fertilizer access, currency stability and medicine imports. He told diplomats the administration seeks partnerships to speed economic progress and protect citizens.
British envoy Rebecca Fabrizi praised President Arthur Peter Mutharika's reform plans as steps toward stability and broader prosperity. She noted that partner countries already committed funds, with Britain providing $5.3 million, Norway $4.5 million, America $17.5 million and Japan $3.7 million. Additional resources are expected in the coming months.
The government intends to distribute K5 billion to each parliamentary district through local authorities as part of decentralization efforts. Officials also plan to boost foreign currency reserves and expand social safety programs. German and Norwegian ambassadors attended the breakfast meeting hosted by Fabrizi.
