Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>National Planning Commission (NPC) has emphasized the need to take a leading role in dissemination information about Malawi\u2019s long-term development blueprint \u2013 Malawi 2063 (MW2063).<\/p>\n

NPC Director of Knowledge and Learning, Dr Joseph Nagoli, said active or passive participation of Malawians in the implementation of the MW2063 will depend on the messages that journalists will disseminate through their various media channels.<\/p>\n

Nagoli made the remarks during a training workshop for journalists and editor, which took place at the Capital Hotel on Friday. During the workshop, the NPC Director of Knowledge and Learning took journalists through the Malawi Secondary Cities Plan and Motivation on Positive Media Reporting on Malawi.<\/p>\n

He explained that Malawi has selected several places across the country to develop them as secondary cities which will be known for their particular economic activities such as agriculture, tourism, transport and trade among others.<\/p>\n

Dr Nagoli further briefed the participants on MIP-1, hinting on progress made so far and key challenges amid its implementation process. In his remarks, the Director of Information in the Ministry of Information and Digitalization, Chikumbutso Mtumodzi, said \u201cyou need to fully sensitise communities on these plans through success stories and positive reporting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MW2063 emphasizes on the spirit of hard work, patriotism, self-reliance, integrity and discipline,\u201d said Mtumodzi, adding that if the citizens are well informed about government\u2019s national development plans, which he said was the duty of journalists, the former would actively participate in the plans\u2019 implementation process.<\/p>\n

On his part, Director of Planning in the Ministry of Economic Planning and Development, John Banda, said since journalists play a big role in mindset change, they need to partner with government in implementing its development initiatives.<\/p>\n

Banda pledged his ministry\u2019s support to NPC, which is championing the MW2063 through the annual budgets and other forms of assistance. United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) representative, Shigeki Komatsubara, under whose auspices the workshop was organised, touted journalists and the media as \u201ccapable of changing the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like the earlier speakers, Komatsubara urged the journalists to report positively on the \u201csmall but positive differences some Malawians are making in the country\u201d, saying those small changes can change the whole country.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can change this country,\u201d he told the journalists.<\/p>\n

Malawi launched MW2063 on January 19, 2021. The development agenda aims to transform the country into a wealthy and self-reliant industrialised upper middle-income country by 2063 when Malawi will clock exactly 100 years since she attained her self-rule. The First 10-year Implementation Plan aims at attaining lower middle-income status and realising Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.<\/p>\n
