Nankhumwa: Guest of honor at Joint Review
The Malawi Government is preparing to develop an automated business registration system at the Registrar of Business Names Offices in Blantyre.
The assignment will be financed by the World Bank as part of the US$95-million Agricultural Commercialization (AGCOM) project.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development is, meanwhile, inviting sealed bids from eligible bidders for designing, supplying, Installing and commissioning of the Business Registration System (MBRS) within an implementation period of 6 months.
“Bidding will be conducted through international competitive procurement using Request for Bids (RFB) as specified in the World Bank’s procurement regulations of July 2016 revised in November 2017 and is open to all eligible bidders as defined in the procurement regulations,” states the Ministry.
Bidders are required to pay a non-refundable fee of MWK40, 000 or USD$50 payable by cash or direct deposit to purchase bidding document in English to be sent by courier or email.
The deadline for submission of bids is January 17, 2020.
In another development, the Ministry is expected to hold its 12th Joint Sector Review (JSR) workshop at Crossroads Hotel in Lilongwe.
The JSR will be conducted under the theme of ‘Creating a sustainable and resilient Malawi through irrigation, water and sanitation.’
In a statement, Principal Secretary in the Ministry, Grey Nyandule Phiri says the JSR provides a platform and mechanism for harmonization and improved sector policy dialogue and coherence.
Phiri says: “The annual review is aimed at reaching a common view among key stakeholders on important achievements in the sector in the preceding year, key implementation challenges, and progress against strategic policies.”
“Achieving consensus on priorities is a key in informing the future plans and budgets which provides focus for development partner support.”
Phiri further says the JSR has been organized to assess progress towards the achievement of the agreed headline indictor for the irrigation, water and sanitation sector.
He says the review will bring together pertinent issues hindering irrigation, water and sanitation development with the view to making recommendations for institutional and policy reforms to feed into the medium term planning and budgeting exercises.
Annual sector performance report for 2018/19 financial year will form the basis for the assessment and discussions at the event.
Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development Kondwani Nankhumwa (MP) is expected to be the guest of honour.

Rehabilitation:
The establishment of a stable and self-sustaining ecosystem, but not necessarily the one that existed before mining began. In many cases, complete restoration may be impossible, but successful remediation, reclamation, and rehabilitation can result in the timely establishment of a functional ecosystem.

Remediation:
The cleanup of the contaminated area to safe levels by removing or isolating contaminants. At mine sites, remediation often consists of isolating contaminated material in pre-existing tailings storage facilities, capping tailings and waste rock stockpiles with clean topsoil, and collecting and treating any contaminated mine water if necessary.
