Standard Bank has contributed K66 million towards the Parastatal Board Members Orientation Programme, reaffirming the bank’s dedication to strengthening governance, leadership, and accountability within Malawi’s public sector.
The sponsorship will support the induction of board members across various statutory corporations, equipping them with enhanced governance capabilities and a deeper understanding of their strategic roles in advancing national development.
“Strong governance is a critical enabler of sustainable economic growth,” said Tamanda Ng’ombe, Head of Brand and Marketing.
“Our support for this orientation reflects our purpose of driving Malawi’s growth and underscores our commitment to partnering with government institutions in building effective and future‑ready leadership,” she added.
The orientation programme is designed to impart best practices in corporate governance, oversight, and strategic decision-making, contributing to improved management of public resources and enhanced institutional performance.
Standard Bank’s investment demonstrates its unwavering commitment to initiatives that promote good governance, institutional strengthening, and long-term economic development in Malawi.
Various heads of parastatals are in attendance at the Mangochi forum, and include newly appointed Director General of MBC Mr Brian Banda.
Officially opening the forum, Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet Stewart Ligomeka commended Standard Bank Plc for its contribution and continued partnership with the government to promote national growth.
