The new  Irish Ambassador-designate to Malawi. Kate Brady, has reaffirmed Ireland ’s commitment to supporting Malawi’s development goals, particularly in food systems transformation and social protection.

Speaking after presenting her Letters of Credence to President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera at Kamuzu Palace, Ambassador Brady highlighted Ireland’s long-standing involvement in Malawi’s national social protection system, dating back to 2013.

“We have been engaged in social protection for over a decade, and our approach has always centred on innovation. We are currently conducting research on how social protection can support people displaced by  disaster and how climate finance can be used to help those most vulnerable,” said Ambassador Brady.
