Do you know the strategic focus areas of the #AfricaHub?Today, we kickstart a 3 month campaign, highlighting our initiatives, illustrating the #powerofcollectiveaction and seeking to strengthen civic freedoms. Stay tuned for captivating content and inspiring testimonials.

It is therefore my plea to all stakeholders, to support the changes being made, to ensure that we achieve the transformation that we basically need. I can assure you that the reorganisation and restructuring process, will be made in good faith and within the legal framework.

@HonChinsinga Honourable Minister. Thank you for the information. This is greatly appreciated. However, my question is why does the govt want to institutionalise these committees instead of Ward Development Committeee which is the appropriate jurisdiction of councillors?

Fellow Malawians, I would like to inform you that it is my zeal and that of the Malawi Government, to champion transformation from the grassroots level. This is in line with the country's aspirations contained in the Malawi 2063.

@josephpowell @BarackObama @opengovpart Great observations Joe! I like and agree with the conclusion as well, working towards a new version of democracy that is resilient ..

This week is 10 years since @BarackObama launched @opengovpart - it's been a rollercoaster ride with incredible bright spots and impact, despite a tough decade for democracy. Today, it's worth celebrating the amazing, resilient #opengov community #OGP10 opengovpartnership.org/stories/10-les…
