On 7th May 2025, the CSR Afrobarometer Malawi team engaged with development partners to share key findings from the Afrobarometer Round 10 survey and explore potential areas of collaboration. The meeting, held at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Lilongwe, brought together representatives from various diplomatic missions, including the American Embassy, British High Commission, European Union, Embassy of Ireland, Embassy of Iceland, Japanese Embassy, GIZ, and the host, the Norwegian Embassy.

As part of Afrobarometer’s effort to disseminate research findings to donor communities, the session provided valuable insights into citizens' perspectives on national development and governance issues—critical information for development partners in shaping their support strategies.

In his remarks, the Director of CSR, Mr. Joseph Chunga, emphasized the importance of sharing these findings and offering development partners an opportunity to engage with researchers for clarifications that could inform their work. The presentation covered key topics, including justice and rule of law, corruption, food shortages, agricultural input programs, and the political landscape. Development partners praised the team for delivering timely and relevant insights to aid their planning processes.

The CSR Afrobarometer team comprised Director and Principal Investigator for Afrobarometer studies in Malawi, Mr. Joseph Chunga, alongside Professor Happy Kayuni, Associate Professor Maxton Tsoka, Dr. Tiyesere Chikapa Jamali, and Mr. Witness Tapani Alfonso. Additionally, the team shared academic outputs derived from the Round 10 survey, further enriching the discussion.
