Friendship with a Purpose: Malawi and Scotland for Sustainable Development (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789996060663)

Poverty and underdevelopment continue to present a profound challenge globally. The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals suggest that "Partnership for the Goals" will be key to success. This booklet explores the innovative people-to-people partnership developed by Malawi and Scotland during the 21st century. It identifies distinctive features of this international collaboration:

- The priority of the relational

- The mobilisation of civil society

- Government in synergy with people

- A reciprocal partnership for development

This is a model that invites emulation and challenges Malawians and Scots to be ambitious as they work together for sustainable development.
