The Ministry of Gender, Children, Disability and Social Welfare has called for tangible results from its partnership with World Vision Malawi as the two institutions seek to strengthen social protection programmes for vulnerable communities.
Minister Mary Navicha made the call in Lilongwe during the signing of a three-year memorandum of understanding between the ministry and the humanitarian organisation.
The partnership focuses on improving support for women, children, persons with disabilities and older people, groups that can face barriers to accessing essential services and economic opportunities.
The agreement highlights the importance of cooperation between government and development partners in addressing poverty and improving the welfare of vulnerable households.
However, the impact of the partnership will depend on how effectively the agreed programmes are implemented, how resources are allocated and whether intended beneficiaries receive meaningful support.
Why it matters: Strong social protection programmes can help vulnerable families access essential services and improve their quality of life.
