The Chief Executive Officer for the Malawi Millenium Development Dye Mawindo was recently briefing the minister of finance Joseph Mwanamvekha, revealing that Malawi has chosen Land and farm to market linkage constraints as the areas for possible funding in the second Millennium Challenge Corporation Compact.

According to Mawindo, the logistical arrangements for the second compact are scheduled to run for 36 months and that if MCC agrees to the project components, it will commence in 2022.

According to MCC’s 2019 scorecard, Malawi scored 65% on controlling corruption from 59% last year in 2018, owing to increased prosecution of Cashgate cases and commitment by the government on legal reforms in the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Malawi qualified for the second compact in September 2018 following the successful completion of the first compact on energy.
