Malawi State President Dr Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera has arrived safely in Dar es Salaam for Africa Human Capital Heads of State Summit.
Writing on his official Facebook Page, President Chakwera said the meeting was so important especially coming at a time when the country is going through global challenges.
“The First Lady and I have arrived safely in Dar es Salaam for the Africa Human Capital Heads of State Summit convened under the theme ‘Accelerating Africa’s Economic Growth: Boosting Youth Productivity by Improving Learning and Skill’”
Chakwera added “The summit has come at an appropriate time for Malawi in view of the overlapping local and global challenges of the past few years that have constrained growth of human capital and further complicated our recovery efforts,”
He said these challenges comprise Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Eastern Europe, rising inflation, disrupted global supply chains and natural disasters induced by climate change.
“We are here to deepen engagement with other stakeholders and unlock sustainable investments towards the triad of Education, Health and Skills in line with our aspirations in the Malawi Vision 2063 under Enabler #5, Human Capital Development,” he said.
