For a long time Malawi has been operating without direct budgetary support following the withdrawal of donors in 2013.
This has brought challenges to Malawi such as shortage of essential drugs in hospitals as well as fuel.
Just a few days ago Malawi President Dr Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera witnessed
the signing of a grant agreement of $137 million which signified reinstatement of investor confidence in the economy and opens a new chapter in the enactment of serious policy reforms for restoring the short-term macroeconomic stability and medium-term growth.
This grant is so important because several times the president has repeatedly said under his tutelage Malawi should sustain donor and investor confidence in building a new Malawi
There is need for the private sector to support the Government since it is the engine of building the national economy.
