Locations

Malawi

Malawi’s development agenda centres on closing infrastructure deficits in energy, transport and irrigation to support agricultural productivity and economic diversification. Investment in power generation and transmission seeks to address chronic electricity shortages that limit industrial growth, while road and trade corridor upgrades aim to enhance regional connectivity. Given constrained public finances and exposure to climate risks, Malawi relies heavily on concessional financing and development partners. Continued reforms to strengthen public investment management and regulatory frameworks are key to improving infrastructure delivery and long-term resilience.
