There is a hot debate on whether Malawi should legalize industrial hemp, also known as industrial Cannabis, for purposes of improving exports and domestic earnings.

The government of Malawi has admitted the country is facing serious security lapses, which are threatening the safety and wellbeing of most citizens and compromising business environments.

During the past years, Malawi has experienced a spate of increased criminal activities, with many cases of murder, and armed robberies in banks, supermarkets, residential areas, and of late, religious premises like churches. The government has described the cases as unusual.

Investing, growing, and benefiting together; that has become a victory song for thousands of ultra-poor Malawian women who are achieving economic gains through  a self-help initiative called Village Savings and Loans.
