Invest in Malawi

Malawi is a country destined to rise. With the vast untapped economic opportunities prevalent, there is a strong political will to see the country transform from a low-income country to a middle-income country. This transformation drive is enshrined in the Malawi Vision 2063 which prioritises agriculture and agricultural productivity, industrialisation which is based on mineral resources and urbanisation which includes tourism. The vision has several enablers, key among them is infrastructure. This entails both road, energy, rail and water ways including ICT infrastructure

Mining
Malawi has potential for several mineral resources. The occurrence of these resources and their location can be accessed upon request from the Ministry of Mining or through the Malawi Consulate General

Infrastructure (road, rail and energy)
Most infrastructure projects fall with the public goods category and are promoted under the Public Private Partnership framework. Malawi offers several roads, rail and energy projects which can be implanted either under PPP or as an Independent Power Producer in case of energy.

To facilitate investment inflows, the country has spent and continues to spend significant efforts to undertake private sector reforms in various sectors. The aim is to ensure that the investment climate is conducive for private sector players, both domestic or foreign to find it simpler to pursue economic opportunities available in Malawi. To this regard, Malawi presents streamlined processes to register and do business. In addition, Malawi’s youthful population offers skills, talents and the needed energy that most economic sectors demand. Its labour force is widely recognised to be affordable, trainable, and possessing an incredible positive attitude towards work.
