The German government has given Malawi €45.3 million (about K37.3 billion), to be used in social security, improving health and private sector development in rural areas, among other sectors.

According to Head of the German delegation to the bilateral negotiation on development cooperation in Malawi, Alois Schneider, the sum comes as a result of the negations between the Government of Malawi. “The result of the negations between the Government of Malawi and our government is that Germany has committed €45.3 million to the republic of Malawi, leading to a total sum of €91.3 million in commitments since last government to government negotiations in 2017”, Schneider said.

In January, German Federal Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development, Gerd Muller, has said Berlin will looking into a partnership with Malawi towards boosting the country’s energy sector through bio-energy.
