LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Secretary to the President and Cabinet (SPC) Colleen Zamba has reiterated the need for the country to embrace digital skills to easily achieve the Malawi 2063 vision.
Zamba was speaking on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, in the Capital Lilongwe, when she presented certificates to over 110 Civil Servants who have undergone six months of Digital Skills Training at the Malawi School of Government (MSG) Kanengo Campus.
“When we launched the training, about 180 participants enrolled, but some dropped out along the way and others even dropped out after attending only one session.
“Allow me to congratulate 112 participants who endured and have completed the training. Surely your dedication has paid off. I hope and believe that you have all found the topics covered in the training useful in your day-to-day work. I believe you can use the collaborative tools learnt to like the Kobol Collection Tools and Google Docs among others,” said Zamba.
In her remarks, MSG Kanengo Campus’ Acting Executive Director Dr. Jessie Kabwira commended SPC Zamba for her effort in making sure that the Civil Service is ticking in different spheres.
She said certificates the SPC has presented to government workers will motivate them and help spread their wings and fly higher.
“Everything you have covered in this training should bear fruits. This country’s digital transformation needs coordinated efforts to achieve the Malawi 2063 Vision.” She added.
In April this year, SPS Zamba launched Digital Skills Training where she emphasized that the digital transformation vision for Malawi can only be achieved if the Civil Service dedicates efforts to make it happen.
This six-month Digital Skills Training was organized by the Malawi Government and other partners like the Tony Blair Institute (TBI).
