On 7 September 2017

In 2007, Flanders and Malawi signed their first Memorandum of Understanding. This cooperation between both governments has, since then, evolved into a strong partnership aimed at improving food security in Malawi.
Together with H.E. Tedson Kalebe, Ambassador of Malawi, and many partners, we look back at past achievements and look at the challenges ahead for Malawi and Flanders' development cooperation.
