Malawi

The End Learning Poverty for All in Africa (ELPAf) campaign was officially launched in Malawi on 20 June 2025. Malawi becomes the second country after Zambia to launch the campaign that seeks to address the continent’s challenges of foundational learning. With approximately 9 out of 10 children in Sub-Saharan Africa unable to read proficiently by age 10, this bold initiative represents the continent's most urgent call to action to address the learning crisis, which is depriving millions of children of their potential.

This is a preliminary statement that reflects the AUEOM’s assessment of the 2019 Tripartite Elections up to the close of polling on 21 May 2019. A final report of the AUEOM’s overall assessment of the entire process will be released within a reasonable time.
