The Chakwera-led government has waged an unapologetic war on corruption as a threat to Malawi's national security and development goals. The approach is rooted in systemic reforms to block leakage, increase transparency, and restore public trust.
Efforts include revamping institutions like the ACB, reforming the legal framework, and launching asset recovery and declaration initiatives.
Problems to be solved

Lack of transparency in public procurement and budgeting
Opportunities to unlock
Established Anti-Corruption Courts to expedite corruption cases
Amended the Corrupt Practices Act to distinguish between theft and corruption for swifter justice
Increased funding to the Anti Corruption Bureau to support operations and build capacity in prosecution
