The National Planning Commission
(NPC) is an independent public
institution with the main mandate of
developing evidence-based mediumand
long-term development plans
for Malawi, taking into account the
country’s resource potential and
comparative advantages. Further,
the NPC has the mandate to provide
oversight on the implementation of
the development plans, including
spearheading the formulation of
innovative and progressive flagship
projects that can accelerate
the country’s socio-economic
transformation. The NPC is, therefore,
a think tank where knowledge
and evidence generated is used to
develop policies, improve planning
and implementation of development
programmes.
The 2021 Annual Report (Report) is a
summarization of the activities which
NPC carried out during the Financial
Year 2020-2021; and is, as a matter
of statutory obligation, prepared
and submitted to the President and
Parliament on an annual basis. This
Report, therefore, presents some of
the major achievements that the NPC
has made during the year as well as
some main priorities for the current
year, 2021-2022.
