The National Planning Commission (NPC) has highlighted Chakwera as an overall champion of the Malawi 20163.
The recognition cites president Chakwera as a remarkable strategist in long-term development plans and implementation efforts Malawi has ever had in her democratic dispensation.
Among other highlighted areas where the incumbent Malawi leader has shown distinctive approach include alignment of national budget to the Malawi 2063 vision, formulation of pillars and enablers of the Malawi 2063 vision as well as the ability to strategically marshal resources for projects started by his predecessors.
During his campaign period, Chakwera bemoaned the tendency of government administrations abandoning national projects that had been started by predecessor administrations, a political culture that he identified as cancerous and awful to the country’s long-term development potency.
