President Joyce Banda has called for a mindset change, saying her administration can no longer afford to run government business as usual.

The President made the call when she opened the 2013 Annual Conference for the Economics Association of Malawi (Ecama) at Nkopola Lodge in Mangochi on Thursday.

The conference is being held under the theme Achieving Efficiency in the Economy.

“I have introduced Ministerial Delivery Meetings to have first-hand information on the progress and challenges the public service is facing. It was evident in the meetings that the ministries have not been talking to each other,” said President Banda.

She suggested a review of national development blueprints such as the Vision 2020 and develop a National Master Plan that can be implemented by any administration that comes into power without necessarily changing the development pillars.

“We need to brand our national development agenda so that we can fairly compete in the global economy,” she said.
