Chakwera said his government, will invest between 15 and 20 percent of the national budget in multiple effect ministries such as Education, Health, Labour and Youth, as a way of ensuring that the youth realize their potential, skills and contribute positively to agenda 2063.

Speaking during his departure at Kamuzu International Airport in Lilongwe, Chakwera said human capital remains key for Malawi to attain Sustainable Development Goals (DDGs).

Chakwera said with human capital, Malawi can be turned into an inclusively wealthy and industrialized nation.

Said the President: “When you are talking about Malawi 2063, so we become an inclusively wealthy industrialised, self reliant nation, and when you are talking about SDGs 2030, these things can’t really happen without human capital development. You will notice that our vision is youth centric, and so the young people will need to be educated, stay healthy and have innovative minds that are capable of creating that future.”

Chakwera said healthy and well nurtured youths are the engine for social and economic development growth.
