The United Nations (UN) says it is saddened by Malawi’s poverty ranking and has argued that the country needs to change its strategies on development to achieve global goals.

The call follows a Human Development Index report on poverty levels that placed Malawi on 173 out of 188 countries in the world.

Seppo: Situation alarming.

Speaking to Malawi24, UN Resident Coordinator in Malawi Mia Seppo said it is important for the country to look at trends and root causes of challenges in the country.

“In 1995, Malawi was ranked at 157 out of 174 countries, in 2005 Malawi was at 165 against 177 country and in 2015 Malawi has been placed at 173 out of 188 countries, the only thing that has changed is the population with statistics showing that in 1995 the country had 10 million people, in 2005 the country had 13 million and in 2015 the country has over 17 million and expected to reach 43 million by 2050,” said Seppo.

Seppo further said that the gap between the rich and the poor has widened due to corruption because the money stolen drives inequality among Malawians.

UN member states last year agreed to implement Sustainable Development Goals that aims to end poverty in all forms.

  8. No matter. Even though if we would be at position one to lead the other countries in poverty, or position five hundred, it’s our country. If this organization has declared that position to us, they must have to take all their financial to give Malawi nation rather than giving us position of poverty. Masatana.

  54. By the end of this year I believe Malawi will be on position 187. Our leaders are only busy accumulating for their own wealth, they don’t mind about the country at large.

I agree with sepp we black people always destroy our future because we forget quite easily what will happen tomorrow, White person can steal and build company which can hire alot of workers for eliminating poverty while black person steals and build expensive house for rent sometimes outside of his country.

  112. And why do we have to pay more to make a phone call and access the net? Why are they milking us more than rich countries? Isn’t that exactly what the system wants, making rich countries richer, and poor ones poorer? What’s the surprise there, UN?

  124. If UN are saddened by Malawis poverty then they are unproffessional, undemocratic, unrealistic, outcasts, and vagabonds, coz these pple they hate a president who is visonary n well educated thats why they loved Joyce Banda , hated Bingu, and Now prof Peter n Mugabe they hate pple who draw their own stratagies to become independent n make welth when they see that they stop supporting the budget so that their strategies should face problems when been implemented, thats bad.

  133. But why Malawi is continuously being the poorest on the planet earth?? we mean all these yrs have gone without any change…its high time now Malawi needs to woke up!Lets think and do positively so as to achieve high goals.Cashgate is really lowering our standards,I like the slogan for UDF which they used during 2014 campaign ” DZUKA MALAWI DZUKA”
