Scottish External Affairs Minister Linda Fabiani on Friday said that her country was committed to increasing aid to Malawi to fight rampant poverty in the country.
Spelling this out in Lilongwe, Fabiani said her Scottish government would spend 2.26 million pounds sterling to aid Malawi’s development projects this year alone.
"The aid focuses on projects that foster economic growth and help Malawi grow and prosper," she said.
The funding includes financing work to improve land management and provide renewable sources of energy in villages, to build on work with street children and orphans and to help vulnerable people affected with IV/AIDS.
Malawi and Scotland signed partnership agreement in 2005.
