The British government through Department for International Development (DFID) has committed K22.7 billion to address food shortage in the country.
The aid comes at a time when Malawi has been hit with food shortages following persistent dry spells due to El-Nino weather.
Following reports of hunger in the country, President Peter Mutharika declared a state of national disaster in order to appeal to the donor community on the international level and within Malawi.
Reacting on the call of help, DFID has disclosed that it will pump MK22.7 billion in efforts to avert the hunger in the country.
During a meeting with Mutharika at Kamuzu palace in Lilongwe, DFID Permanent Secretary Mark Lowcock pledged more support from Britain.
On his part, Mutharika applauded the commitment from Britain arguing that it has landed at a right time as nearly half of the population is under food shortage.
“Her Majesty’s government has contributed immensely to Malawi’s journey towards the attainment of most of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in this country. My government is in the process of localizing the SDGs, through the Malawi Growth Development Strategy (MGDS) III for 2016-2020,” said Mutharika.
Britain remains one of the biggest and trusted bilateral development partners to Malawi. The partnership is manifested in the DFID Operational Plan for 2011-2016, which focuses on areas such as education, health, HIV/AIDS, water sanitation, governance, security, climate change and credit support facilities.
An earlier version of this story showed that DFID had committed to give Malawi K50 billion. However, the correct amount is K22.7 billion hence this story has been updated.

Handouts. Focus on agriculture such as irrigation. Impower people along the lake to use irrigation as one means of farming.
This money will benefit few individuals knowing that this government is very corrupt. It’s a waste funding them.

we are requesting DFID not to pay this donation to Malawi government because all malawians they trust this people they all cashgate dealers.

We can not mentally develop in any way if we turn our own made poverty as a beging Industry. What do we not have that make donors sympathise with us all the time? Every president of our time ends up a professor. Our politicians turn out as millionaires and above the law. We hike fees at Unima., yet we feed pur children on donated chinese tasteless rice. Numereous to mention…. A million prophets, Pastors, graduates etc. but remain deprived mentally. Before we thought was our colonialists then Kamuzu one party system and today we say opposition, on blackouts monkeys…God has rreally forbidden us.
Mubeso zimenezo poti nde khalidwe lanu,

Cash gate bwana tisachedwe
Zabedwa kale izi, malawi anali kale tangosala mbava zokhazokha
Ndarama kuzigwilisa ntchito molongosoka anthu akuvutika
Its my prayer that the donated money has to be used for the intended purpose rather than filling in into their pockets; coz God watches.
Half is for Bosses to feed full their pockets Mukapsa ndithu.
It’s for Peter and his friends
i hope the best way to distribute this money is to give every family k1 billion so that they can use themself because this government and its leaders they will put all in their Big holes pockets . Kkkkkkk its their behaviour , next year , the President will Advertise this hunger vacancy again mark my word.
If u are poor everyone takes advantage. We are being used as a begging tool 4rm donors. Now the cash is in, its not for campaign, its for hunger disaster. Lets calculate population in Malawi less than 20000000pple divide by Mk50bn. Mwaona anthu aja mumakwapula mwezi watha azungu awapatsa chakudya.
Nthawi imene andale anaba cashget peter kulibe ndiye musamangotokota yanu yausiilu APA ngati peter anayamba wakubelani nde ndiukape umenewo
The govt should give a detailed explanation as to how they will utilise the money. No secrets here. Tenders must be transparent as well. No nepotism. The poor should see the assistance not your new 4 by 4s.
Its trick when comes to tenders. The price for the maize is going to be x2 by service provide. And they wil be lot of allowances for seminars on how to distribute the food. Just calculate Malawi population. Its less than 20million divide by mk50bn. Of which they wil be transport. They wil be silly expenditure just to try to balance books. Of which this money by December it wil be gone.
Taphani samyo 20milion into 50billion kkkkkkk.
Its straight 4ward that everyone must have 1m mk food packeg. Then the rest is for adminstration of agriculture to invest for next year plan. Its comon sense that 20million pple X 1mil mk is 20billion then 30billion extra should be used for investment 4 future disaster not campaign.
One thousand million =one billion.
That money is just for fifty thousand people if they can get a million each.
Nanga atagawa k600.000 munthu aliyense singakwanebe kod ??
Zithera nthumba mwa anthu zimenezo osauka akufa ndinjala
Thumbs up to the bits ,i hope the aid will be used prudently . Its my prayer that this time around malawians should not hear of misappropriation of the donor aid .
All who opposing dis move,absolutely nt Malawian!!! why cnt they happy dat atlist de Government is getng somthng out of nothng??? u r de same people dat Government nt dng enough to get donors back!!! nw one of prominant donor cm for a rescue!! u r nt happy r u human? or u dnt think about ur country??? let me adverse u in dis way!!! when ever donation cms frm outside dnt think much about ruling part think about nation!!! i hate such coment we cnt progress,am nt a politician but its ma personal view,thax sindnatyole nkhwani!!!
We are happy that the donor have throw in money for food not political campaign. 30mk billion for seminary how to distribute maize.
1>>wati We Shud Congratulate Govt?? 4 Wat Work?? Let Them Be Congratulated When Malawi’s Citizen Can Have Xomthng To Eat!! 2>>ndalama Zonsezo Jst 4 3ree?? Ambuye Alowererepo Plz,,,znt Ths The Payment Of Gay Mariage? Or Wina Akwiye Kma Ndanenabe
