Nice engages people on MW2063

National Initiative for Civic Education (Nice) Trust has asked community and religious leaders at Ulongwe in Balaka District to champion mindset change for the country to achieve Malawi 2063 (MW2063) goals.

Speaking on Thursday during the orientation of the MW2063 and mindset change at Ulongwe Resource Centre, Balaka district civic education officer Henry Zekariah said mindset change is the key enabler of MW2063; hence, the need for leaders to populariseit.

He said: “As influential leaders in your constituencies, you need to change people’s traditional way of thinking or doing things.

“Instead, encourage them to embark on modern farming, businesses and other undertakings that can generate income to transform Malawi as MW2063 pillars stipulate.”

Zekariah said Nice believes that it is possible for Malawi to achieve the aspirations of the development blueprint if people embrace mindset change.

Traditional Authority Kalembo thanked Nice for drilling them on MW2063 and mindset change.

“We have been acquainted with the MW2063 concept and we pledge to take the message to our people so that we transform the country,” she said.

Ulongwe Anglican Parish-in-charge the Reverend Father Wilfred Mtwana said he will use the pulpit and other platforms to preach about mindset change.

“I too believe that for Malawi to achieve its aspirations, there is need for citizens to embrace mindset change,” he said.

With funding from Malawi Government, Nice is orienting communities on mindset change to achieve MW2063, the country’s long-term development strategy.
