Earlier, President Chakwera also held bilateral talks with Tim Hanstand, CEO of the Chandler Foundation, for possible partnership with Malawi.
Hanstand said the Chandler Foundation has prioritized Malawi because of President Chakwera’s commitment to end corruption and his foundation was ready to support his agenda in all areas of development.
