In his remarks, WFP Regional Director for Southern Africa Regional Bureau, Menghestab Haile indicated that the meeting\u2019s agenda focused on food security, climate change, achieving regional self-sufficiency, transforming agriculture to support women farmers, addressing youth employment in the agriculture sector, as well as climate-smart initiatives within the SADC region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue of food insecurity is not only affecting Malawi but is a concern within the entire SADC region. The meeting aimed at strategizing on how to progress in addressing such problems,\u201d said Haile.<\/p>\n

He added that WFP aims to mobilize resources and establish resilient food systems to reduce reliance on food handouts. \u201cWFP will continue its intensified effort in supporting the Malawian government to distribute relief to those most affected by hunger in the country.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Commissioner for Disaster in the Department of Disaster Management Affairs, Charles Kalemba, indicated that the meeting also focused on revamping and transforming agriculture through youth-friendly programs and exploring improved technologies to sustain the country\u2019s food systems during adversities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a need for enhanced agriculture systems, including mechanization and commercialization, to replace outdated farming methods for better agricultural productivity,\u201d said Kalemba.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, President Lazarus Chakwera was accompanied by the Secretary to the President and Cabinet Madame Colleen Zamba, Minister of Foreign Affairs Nancy Tembo, Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Dixie Kampani, and other government officials.<\/p>\n
