Malawi's Gender, Children, Disability and Social Welfare Minister Mary Navicha emphasized the necessity of sustained financial backing for the Malawi Council for Disability Affairs during the launch of the organization's annual Flag Week at Parliament in Lilongwe. She contributed K1 million while describing disability inclusion as a governmental obligation rather than charitable work, asserting that adequate funding remains essential for the council to fulfill its responsibilities and enable disabled citizens to participate in national development planning.

Vice President Jane Ansah addressed attendees by highlighting persistent systemic obstacles that prevent millions of Malawians with disabilities from engaging in economic, social and political activities. She advocated for proactive disability programming throughout all phases of policy creation and execution. President Arthur Peter Mutharika pledged K5 million toward the initiative, while Ansah contributed K2.5 million.

The fundraising campaign aims to strengthen disability rights advocacy, broaden service access and promote greater citizen involvement in Malawi's developmental efforts.
