Minister of Information and Communication Technology Hon. Shadric Namalomba, MP, says the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government is ready to implement the Malawi 2063 national vision and has asked the National Planning Commission (NPC) to give them support in the realisation of the national vision.
Speaking today, Thursday, November 13 2025, in Lilongwe, when he met NPC Director General Mr. Fredrick Changaya and his team, Namalomba said the DPP government fully believes in the MW2063.
“The genesis of Malawi 2063 is the DPP, so it is our responsibility to ensure its realisation,” said Namalomba, adding: “The good thing is that the DPP manifesto is already aligned to the national vision, so it won’t be difficult for us to implement it.”
He said his ministry is particularly aware of the importance of digital technology and access to information in realising the Malawi 2063 vision, and that it will deploy all necessary strategies to ensure that Malawi’s transformation is anchored in information technology.
On his part, Changaya outlined several interventions outlined in the MW2063 First 10-Year Implementation Plan (MIP-1) whose implementation is in the hands of the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology.
He mentioned the Malawi Digital Economy Strategy, the Integrated Mindset Change Programme and the Access to Information Act as some of the instruments under the Ministry that are crucial in the realisation of the MW2063.
“We are living in the digital and knowledge age, and we can’t talk about transformation without ensuring that citizens have access to information technology and information,” said Changaya.

National Planning Commission (NPC) Director General, Mr. Fredrick Changaya, says Malawi should remain focused on its medium to long-term development goals as it addresses its prevailing economic challenges.
He was speaking on Thursday, October 30th, at the 2025 Economics Association of Malawi (ECAM) Annual Economic Conference, held at Sunbird Nkopola in Mangochi, under the theme “Beyond the Crises: Reshaping the Economy.”
Presenting on the sub-theme “Balancing Fiscal Discipline and Development Aspirations,” Changaya emphasised the importance of national vision and imagination in driving Malawi’s development.
He noted that without a clear vision and deliberate planning, the country risks remaining stagnant despite ongoing fiscal and policy reforms.
He also called for stronger use of evidence in shaping policies, stating that “as economists and policymakers, we must measure what truly matters. Decisions made without proper data and analysis risk misinforming national priorities and policies, leading to undermining growth efforts.”
Changaya urged the government and partners to make better use of available resources through greater coordination and focus on productive investments that directly support Malawi’s development goals.

On her part, Adda-Dontoh described NPC as a key institution to Malawi’s medium and long-term growth, saying the UN will continue collaborating with the commission as one way of ensuring sustainable development of the country.
