Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Malawians are set to witness the first ever Private Sector Labs following the directive President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera has issued to the Presidential Delivery Unit (PDU).<\/p>\n

Chakwera has directed that PDU, in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Malawi Investment Trade Centre (MITC) should conduct these labs in June 2022.<\/p>\n

A statement from the Presidential Press Secretary, Anthony Kasunda, says the President recognizes that private sector growth is a key driver of his agenda of job creation, wealth creation and food security; hence, the decision to have these labs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn most contexts, including Malawi, private sector faces challenges as recognized by the President when he said \u2018if you are a private sector player and are facing political, or legislative, or administrative obstacles that are hindering the operations of your business sector, I urge you to report such obstacles to my Delivery Unit so that I can see to it that they are addressed with speed.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of the President\u2019s commitment to private sector growth, these labs will be a platform to convene high-level exchanges to jointly identify and address bottlenecks impeding the operations and expansion of the private sector in Malawi,\u201d reads the statement.<\/p>\n

Kasunda adds that Chakwera will launch the labs and that stakeholders in the private sector are invited to complete a form provided at the MITC website for them to attend.<\/p>\n
