SCOTLAND’S CIVIC LINKS WITH MALAWI CONSTITUENCY MAPPING: HOLYROOD UPDATED APRIL 2021

A briefing by the Scotland Malawi Partnership on the distribution of the 1,225 Scotland-Malawi links it represents, across Holyrood regions and constituencies

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Each year more than 109,000 Scots are involved in a civic link with Malawi. The Scotland Malawi Partnership exists as a politically neutral and non-governmental membership networking helping to coordinate, represent and support the work of 1,225 organisations and key individuals linked with Malawi across Scotland. To do this, and to maintain all-party support for its members’ work with Malawi, the Scotland Malawi Partnership helps its members connect with their local MSP and MP, and to brief MSPs and Scottish MPs on Malawi links in their constituency. Every single constituency of Scotland has a number of civic Malawi partnerships and SMP members. This latest report, updated in April 2021, gives a handful of examples of Malawi links in each of Scotland’s 73 Holyrood constituencies and 8 regions. The partnerships contained in this report are just a fraction of all the Malawi links across Scotland. Full details can be found at www.scotland-malawipartnership.org.

ALL-PARTY FOREWORD

Nicola Sturgeon MSP, Leader, Scottish National Party and First Minister of Scotland: "The links between Scotland and Malawi are strong and enduring. Even in this past year, which has presented us with difficulties we could scarcely have imagined, our friendship continues to grow. The work that the Scotland Malawi Partnership and the many organisations the length and breadth of Scotland do to support and nurture these links is extremely welcome and I am proud that the Scottish Government can continue to fund these efforts. I hope this report inspires many more communities to take an interest in the relationship between Scotland and Malawi, so we can sustain it for many years to come."

Douglas Ross MP, Leader, Scottish Conservative Party: “I am delighted to welcome the publication of this report. The links between Scotland and Malawi are deep, and it’s right we celebrate them. This report stands as a testimony to that – highlighting the civic partnerships which exist across each Holyrood constituency and region. At heart, this is about friendship. Not just between governments, but between two peoples. Each year thousands of Scots and Malawians stand side-by-side and work together to achieve common goals. We should be proud of these bonds and I congratulate the Scotland Malawi Partnership for everything they do to further this cause. The Scottish Conservatives are deeply committed to strengthening Scotland’s partnership with Malawi for the benefit of both our countries.”

Anas Sarwar MSP, Leader, Scottish Labour Party: “Our links with Malawi continue to thrive and flourish, and are a testament to the efforts of those who have worked hard to maintain this enduring friendship. The community of over 300,000 Scots and Malawians has helped deliver benefits and real change where it’s needed - across communities, in trade, business, medicine, education and tourism. We should be proud of our work together and continue to build on the unity between our two nations.”

Willie Rennie MSP, Leader, Scottish Liberal Democrats: "It is truly impressive that over one thousand Scottish organisations and key individuals have active links with Malawi. Through education, communication and engagement we are forging a lasting relationship with this fascinating and creative country at the heart of Africa. Together Scotland and Malawi can grow and prosper together. I am particularly pleased to see the deep links with schools in my constituency including my old primary school of Strathmiglo."

Patrick Harvie MSP, Co-Leader, Scottish Green Party: “I am delighted to see Scotland’s long-standing friendship with Malawi continue to grow from strength to strength. More and more communities the length and breadth of Scotland are now involved in the people-to-people partnerships. As this report highlights, almost every section of Scottish civic life is now involved with Malawi in some way, with record numbers of community groups, schools, universities and hospitals actively engaged. This represents the best of Scottish internationalism, which will contribute to sustainable development and to global challenges such as equality and human rights. I congratulate the Scotland Malawi Partnership for its work coordinating.”

SCOTLAND AND MALAWI BY NUMBERS

SCOTLAND’S LINKS WITH MALAWI

Connecting SMP Members with their local MP: “there are Malawi links in The Scotland Malawi Partnership is politically neutral and non- every single constituency governmental. However, in helping coordinate, represent and support our members’ work with Malawi, it is important we connect effectively of Scotland” with the governments and parliaments of Scotland, the UK and Malawi. We help to build and maintain strong all-party parliamentary support for Scotland’s friendship with Malawi in all three parliaments and are always keen to help connect Members of Parliament with SMP members in their constituency.

To this end, we publish details of how Scotland’s links with Malawi are spread across Scotland and are excited to report that there are Malawi links in every single Holyrood constituency and region. This document gives examples of Malawi links, constituency by constituency, in order to help our members connect with their local MSP, and to keep MSPs briefed on local links with Malawi. The links contained in this report are just a fraction of all the Malawi links across Scotland.

About the Scotland Malawi Partnership The Scotland Malawi Partnership (SMP) is the national civil society network coordinating, representing and supporting the people-to-people links between our two nations. We represent a community of 109,000 Scots with active links to Malawi.

We have more than 1,225 member organisations and key individuals, including half of Scotland’s local authorities, every Scottish university and most of its colleges, 251 primary and secondary schools, dozens of different churches and faith-based groups, hospitals, businesses, charities and NGOs, and a wide range of grass-root community-based organisations. Our work permeates almost all aspects of Scottish civil society.

We exist to inspire the people and organisations of Scotland to be involved with Malawi in an informed, coordinated and effective way for the benefit of both nations. We do this by providing a forum where ideas, activities and information can be shared on our website, through our online mapping tool and through regular forums, training events and stakeholder meetings.

“Almost half of all Scots Put simply, there is no comparable bilateral relationship anywhere in the world. It is admired and emulated across the personally know someone with a globe. link to Malawi”

Scale and Impact of Malawi links: In July 2018, to mark the visit of the President of Malawi, the University of Edinburgh published updated research which found that an estimated:

• 109,000+ Scots are actively involved in links with Malawi; • 208,000+ Malawians are actively involved in links with Scotland; • SMP members contribute more than £49 million in finance and in-kind inputs to their Malawi links.

A separate 2018 paper, by a University of Glasgow researcher, working from a randomly selected sample of 449 Scots, found that: • 45% of Scots personally know someone actively involved in a link with Malawi; • 75% of Scots are in favour of links with Malawi (56% “strongly” in favour); and • Less than 1.5% are opposed to this work.
