The United Nations(UN) Resident Coordinator in Rebecca Adda-Dontoh,has reiterated the UN’s steadfast support for Malawi’s development ambitions as outlined in the Malawi 2063 vision.
The Malawi 2063 agenda aspires to transform the country into a wealthy, self-reliant, and industrialized upper-middle-income nation by the year 2063.
During a visit to South Lunzu Health Centre and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) warehouses in Limbe on Saturday, Adda-Dontoh emphasized the UN’s long-term commitment to the country.
“The UN is here to stay, and we are committed to supporting Malawi in achieving its development goals by 2063,” she told journalists.
She explained that her visit to South Lunzu Health Centre was meant to gain a deeper understanding of the WFP’s ongoing initiatives, particularly those contributing to the Human Capital Development pillar of the Malawi 2063 vision.
“You cannot achieve human capital development if people are unwell. That is why the WFP is tackling malnutrition in Malawi,” she said.
Earlier in the week, both local and international journalists toured several WFP-supported initiatives, including the WFP warehouse and South Lunzu Clinic in Blantyre, Mwanga Health Centre in Phalombe, farming communities in Nsanje, food-insecure families and maize distribution beneficiaries in Chikwawa, and school meals programs at Kaunda LEA Primary School in Kasungu North East.
