Export Development Fund (EDF), in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade and Industry, Afreximbank, and ARISE Integrated Industrial Platforms, recently hosted a Business Roundtable Discussion focused on advancing Malawi’s export manufacturing sector to stimulate economic growth and development. The event provided a collaborative platform for business leaders and policymakers to share insights, discuss challenges, and identify actionable strategies for boosting export manufacturing, particularly through the utilization of special economic zones (SEZs).

Export Development Fund (EDF) recently attended the first ever Malawi Mining Investment Forum held in Lilongwe. The event provided a good platform for players in the mining sector to meet and discuss issues affecting the growth of the sector.

Focused on fostering a structured market for gold and gemstones in Malawi, EDF's presence at the forum underscored its commitment to supporting investments and initiatives that aim to uplift the mining sector.

The Export Development Fund (EDF) has reaffirmed its commitment to promote responsible mining and environmental management especially in areas where gold mining activities are taking place across the country. The commitment was made in Dwangwa, Nkhotakota during a tree planting exercise organised by the Fund.

Chief Finance Officer for EDF Moffat Musukwa said EDF recognizes the environmental challenges posed by the gold mining activities hence the emphasis on the importance of sustainable practices that preserve nature.
