Management Development Centre

MDC commended for excellence!📌📌

The Management Development Centre (MDC), a professional development centre of the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (MUBAS), has been commended for designing and delivering professional development programmes that respond to the needs of modern-day leadership.

Bywell Chiwoni who is Managing Director of Heritage Insurance Brokers Limited gave the remarks when he presided over the MDC Executive Management and Leadership Certificate presentation ceremony at MUBAS Campus in Blantyre on 12 December, 2025.

Chiwoni said high quality human capital training is crucial to the economic development of the country.

“The progress of our nation relies significantly on the leadership in our institutions. Whether in government, business, civil society, or entrepreneurship, today’s leaders must navigate intricacy, drive innovation, and consistently uphold strong ethical demands. I therefore commend MDC for developing tailor-made programmes aimed at enhancing leadership skills across various professions in the country," he said.

He further said strong leadership skills open pathways to diverse professional growth and also contribute meaningfully to the development of organisations.

Chikondi Milanzi, one of the graduating participants said the six-month Executive Management and Leadership training has been an eye opener to her as it has provided her with more knowledge on leadership and management in the modern era.

“As a manager, sometimes you think you know everything but as the world keeps evolving, one also needs to acquire new management and leadership skills to keep in tune with demands of new business environment,” said Milanzi.

The training drew participants from both the public and private sector, and 19 participants received certificates after undergoing the six -month training.

Last week,on Thursday, October 23rd, 2026, we had the privilege of hosting a transformative Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activity at MUBAS. Organized by the Management Development Centre in conjunction with the School of Business and Economic Sciences (SOBES), the event focused on empowering local women entrepreneurs from Machinjiri.

We were thrilled to train a group of about 40 amazing women who run small businesses, equipping them with essential financial literacy skills to scale their ventures.

The event was graced by the presence of the Executive Dean of SOBES; Dr. Hanif, whose unwavering support for community initiatives and women's empowerment was a great inspiration to all.

A special thank you to our brilliant trainers:
Dr. Ella Kangaude, who inspired the participants with innovative business ideas and strategies. And Mr. Paul Nthara, who delved deep into the principles of financial literacy, providing them with the tools for sustainable growth.

Empowering women is empowering a nation. We are committed to fostering community development and driving economic change from the grassroots level.
