United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) has described Malawi’s regulatory framework on PPP investment as one of the best in Africa.

This accolade was conferred by UNECA’s Economic Affairs Officer, Anthony Monganeli Mehlwana, during a presentation at the PPPC Investors Conference in Lilongwe.

Mehlwana stressed the need for concerted efforts to overcome PPP challenges.

He also observed that private sector investment in Africa’s infrastructure reached a five-year peak of $19 billion in 2020, representing a 23% increase since 2016, despite persistent challenges.
