Torres started her mission in January 2018 and her last day of work in Malawi is 12th November 2021.<\/p>\n<p>She has since expressed gratitude for the great cooperation between the Government of Malawi and the UN System that has resulted in multiple areas of work where results are visible from food security, disaster response, COVID-19 response, climate action to elections, gender education, human rights, and the governance agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am delighted to see Malawi\u2019s vision to become a middle-income country by 2063 and the robust partnerships created with the national institutions, the civil society and the Development Partners,\u201d said Torres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe UN is fully engaged to ensure we leave no one behind in accelerating efforts to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in Malawi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added that enhancing multisectoral approaches in line with the recently launched Malawi 2063 First 10-Year Implementation Plan (MIP-1) would be essential to undertake transformative initiatives and consolidate gains on climate action, agro-industry transformation, urbanization and pushing for the digital agenda.<\/p>\n<p>The UN representative also pointed out that \u201cIn this regard, strong and dedicated investments in human capital development, particularly on women and youth empowerment, the public sector reforms, and the creation of an enabling environment to expand private sector investment, are key to success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith stronger determination, commitment, concerted efforts, and a whole-of-society approach, it is possible to achieve the SDGs in Malawi.
