Speaking Note – Welcome the President of Malawi to Scotland

Welcome

On behalf of the Scottish Government and the People of Scotland I am delighted to welcome His Excellency Professor Peter Arthur Mutharika and the Firstly Lady to Scotland.

The Scottish Government is privileged to host this visit to Scotland by the President and the First Lady. We hope that over the next four days the President and his party will gain a greater understanding of the myriad connections that exist between our countries at every level, personal, organisational and governmental.

David Livingstone Link

As the President will know the link between our countries stretches back to the times of David Livingstone. He was a truly global citizen, embodying a thirst for education and knowledge combined with inventiveness, enterprise and a capacity for endurance.

Scotland aims to be a good global citizen and this is why we have an international development programme. Though our international development strategy we look to foster and encourage, through support for Scottish civil society, traditional core values in Scotland of fairness, equality and global solidarity.

Approach to International Development

Scotland has an approach to international development that is unique in world terms. Our approach recognises that one of the legacies of Scotland’s history exploration, trade, and missionary work in Malawi is a ready-made network of links to the country’s government, professions, and society - and in particular its health and education systems. By working through these pre-existing links, we bring about development outcomes that achieve a disproportionate impact to the modest sums of money invested.

The Scottish Government remains committed to working in partnership with the Government of Malawi on poverty alleviation and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Refreshed Cooperation Agreement

In 2005, the Governments of Scotland and Malawi signed a historic agreement that committed both our two countries to working together to share experience and skills for our mutual benefit. Since then, we have made great strides in the areas of Health, Education, Sustainable Economic Development and Civic Governance.

During this visit we hope to sign a new Global Goals Agreement that will refresh our commitment to this collaboration, ensuring that both governments can best reflect the priorities of the new Sustainable Development Goals.

We will continue to build on this work in the coming years.

The Minister could reflect on his visits to Malawi.

Current work with University of Glasgow and the College of Medicine

The Scottish Government has been working with the University of Glasgow and the College of Medicine for a numbers of years now.

We were keen to be part of the Blantyre - Blantyre Clinical laboratory project at College of Medicine, Blantyre. This is a £2 million collaborative project bringing funding from the Scottish Government, the Wellcome Trust & World Bank together to fully equip and establish an accredited clinical research laboratory that will bring educational & health benefits to the people of both Malawi and Scotland.

Announcements

Dental School

I am pleased to be able to announce to the President £60,000 worth of funding for a collaboration between the University of Glasgow’s Dental School and the Malawian College of Medicine to upgrade teaching facilities at the College. This will include the refurbishment of the Lilongwe dental clinical skill facility, at the College of Medicine.

Governance Project at the College of Medicine

I would also like to announce that the Scottish Government has provided £100,000 of funding for a further collaboration between the University of Glasgow and the College of Medicine. This time for a project that will develop the governance processes and procedures required when the College becomes an independent University. The collaboration will see the University establish a mentoring and support partnership with the College through the Universities Senate and Court Offices. This will assist the College in becoming an effective governing and oversight body for the soon to be established University of Health Sciences.

Closing

Welcome your Excellency once again to Scotland and I hope that you find you visit both enjoyable and informative.

ANNEX A

GLENCORSE WATER TREATMENT WORKS

Glencorse Water Treatment Works (WTW) is one of the largest water supply projects undertaken by Scottish Water. The project was completed in March 2012 with an investment of £130m. It was Scottish Water’s largest construction project in terms of value. It was officially opened in June 2012.

The WTW project involved construction of a new water treatment plant next to the Pentland Hills Regional Park, about 4.6 miles south of Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland. The plant’s water treatment capacity is 175 million litres a day. The plant has become a source of reliable and safe drinking water for 380,000 people across the capital city and parts of Midlothian.

Glencorse WTW was an important component of the Edinburgh Drinking Water Project, a capital investment programme which, apart from the construction of a new water treatment plant, called for the replacement of ageing mains and storage tanks. The new plant will allow Scottish Water to meet existing and future water demands. At the same time, the company will be able to cope with the strict European drinking water quality standards.

The project was necessitated as two of the Scottish Water’s existing water treatment works, Fairmilehead and Alnwickhill, were approaching the end of their operational lives. These were built in the Victorian era and have served the city of Edinburgh well for more than a century. The WTW project has allowed Scottish Water to replace the two ageing water treatment works with a single treatment plant.

Glencorse WTW is comprised of four main structures. These include an intake building which blends raw water from reservoirs 30km away, the main water treatment building, a contact-tank for final disinfection and a large clear water storage tank capable of holding 90 million litres. In addition, the project involved installation of more than 15km of 1.2m diameter water supply pipelines that transfer treated water to the Scottish capital city.

4

The treatment process consists of a pioneering CocoDAFF system using counter current dissolved air filtration and flotation, which coagulates the water flow counter currently to the aeration bubbles This increases the process efficiency, by increasing the probability of particle – air bubble contact as the coagulated water.

Innovation at Glencorse

Technical Innovations Hydro Electric Turbines

 Using free flowing water 24/7.  Generating 300kw of free power from renewable source from 2 turbines on the raw water intake pipes.  90% of Glencorse’s everyday power needs are generated on site

Mobile Pipe Production

 WORLD FIRST application of this technology.  Site based pipe factory manufactured 15km of pipe.  Allowed extra-long pipe sections to be made.  Massive reduction in vehicle movements, carbon footprint as well as time & cost savings.

ANNEX F

Climate Justice Fund: Water Futures Project

The Scottish Government is committed to support work in Malawi, most importantly through the Hydro Nation programme’s contribution to the Climate Justice Fund. We are working with the Government of Malawi, academic institutions and NGOs on water governance; policy exchange; water-resource mapping and refurbishment and water supply enhancement. Together, the aim is to make SDG6 in respect of water and wastewater provision a reality in Malawi with Scotland playing an important global role by supporting Malawi to universal water access and adequate sanitation.

A significant milestone has been reached with the Water Futures Project in Malawi now over 30% complete on its national water asset mapping exercise. New project partners are starting work on the next 30% tranche in April 2018.

As part of our integrated programme approach in Malawi we are working with Hydro Nation partners SEPA to scope a linked project to assist the Government of Malawi to operationalize the National Water Resources Authority established under Malawi’s 2013 Water Resources Act, itself a beneficiary of historic joint working between the respective governments. This development further illustrates how Scotland’s Hydro Nation increasingly recognised expertise in water governance and environmental regulation is helping to make a global contribution.

Hydro Nation International

The Scottish Government recognise that, as a Hydro Nation, it is right and proper that we to reach out to the world to share knowledge and expertise and invite collaboration. This international dimension is central to our strategic approach and we are already doing this in a number of ways including:

 Helping the water sector identify and respond to international trade opportunities with the help and support of our enterprise agencies.

 Growing the already impressive research capacity in the field of water, including through the Hydro Nation Scholars Programme.

 Exporting Scottish expertise in governance and management practice, working with appropriate global organisations such as the OECD and other international water advocacy organisations to do so, and last, but not least.

 Delivering projects with international partners in a number of key territories around the world.

The Scottish Government has commissioned the James Hutton Institute / Scotland’s Centre of Expertise for Waters (CREW) to help develop Hydro Nation International (HNI).

10

The HNI project aims to support better alignment and consistency between the various strands of international Hydro Nation research activity, developing improved and more actively-managed networks across the academic sector; and linking academic expertise where appropriate to commercial opportunities for the public sector under the HN Commercial & Advisory Services workstream Overall, the HNI approach is intended to provide greater coherence in Scotland’s response to UN Global Goal 6 on Access to Water and Sanitation.

HNI will provide central co-ordination and project management support as well as seeking additional added value from these collective efforts. Including by:

• Developing continuity through greater co-ordination of the various Hydro Nation contributors.

• Enhance the profile and significance of HNI.

• Underpinning the delivery of the Hydro Nation International Strategy agreed by the Hydro Nation Forum.

• Building on the process and operating procedures already established for CREW.

• Co-ordinating delivery and delivering project management of international projects supported by Hydro Nation.

• Ensuring that project outputs and outcomes of international significance are appropriately publicised.

• Considering future opportunities for wider alignment of Scotland’s international delivery on water.

• Encouraging and supporting the CREW network to align and respond to international opportunities for collective success.

Scotland’s Hydro Nation reputation for excellent water governance and the high performance of publically owned utility Scottish Water has also allowed the creation of Scottish Water International to successfully export water knowledge around the globe and more of the public sector is stepping up to share their expertise bringing improvements to water governance around the world and supporting developing world nations or generating important income from others. The Hydro Nation Water Innovation Service, working with the Enterprise agencies, is bringing new Scottish water sector technology to the global market place more rapidly than ever before.

ANNEX G

Government of Malawi Renewable Energy Strategy

The Government of Malawi Renewable Energy Strategy (MRES) sets out a detailed set of priorities to achieve the following vision for renewable energy in Malawi: Universal access to renewable energy and a sustainable bioenergy sector.

As things stand, 89% of Malawi’s total energy supply is biomass most of which is unsustainably sourced resulting in widespread deforestation. Electricity remains unreliable and counts for only 3% of energy used in Malawi while over 90% of the population is not connected to the National Grid. Working to achieve the actions and goals in the MRES will bring vital economic, social and environmental benefits for industries, businesses, families and ultimately people across the country.

In 2011, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched the global Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) initiative to mobilise action from all sectors of society to tackle the issue of access to sustainable energy. He described renewable energy as ‘the golden thread that connects development, social inclusion and environmental protection’

In 2012, Ban Ki-moon asked the First Minister to support the SE4All initiative, believing that Scotland has a significant contribution to make because of Scotland’s leadership on renewable energy and climate change. With a view to delivering on that agreement, we focused on two specific areas of need where Scotland’s strengths lie: policy support, and capacity-building.

The Scottish Government therefore seconded to the Department of Energy within the Government of Malawi (GoM) from March 2016 – March 2017 one of our renewable energy experts. The primary aim of the role was to support Malawian officials to develop their first dedicated national renewable energy strategy, through sharing Scotland’s world-leading renewable energy expertise. This led to completion of the Malawi Renewable Energy Strategy in summer 2017.

Currently only 9% of Malawi’s 16M-strong population has access to electricity, and while the GoM is extending the main grid under its rural electrification plan, this must be supported by off-grid solutions, including renewable mini-grids, if Malawi is to achieve the SE4All objective of 100% energy access by 2030. Malawi has significant opportunities for development in hydro and solar, as well as potentially in wind., under the global Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) initiative Malawi since March, working directly with the Government of Malawi to support them in developing the country’s first ever dedicated renewables strategy

Malawi's energy dilemma shows how the country is in drastic need of more energy, especially electricity, in order to modernise and develop. However, if Malawi and other developing countries were to develop by the same means industrialised countries have done (fossil fuels and heavy industry etc.); the negative impacts of climate change for everyone could be huge. Finding ways to develop sustainably today are therefore a burden which faces every country in the world so working with

Malawi to share our expertise in developing low carbon energy solutions is as important to us as it is to the people of Malawi.

Scotland are in a really good position to offer advice and support to Malawi and a lot of our energy challenges are not as unfamiliar to Malawi's as you might think at first.

Scottish Water – Energy and Heat Generation

Scottish Water continues to make solid progress in respect of reducing energy demand, increasing the use and generation of renewable energy and lowering carbon emissions. Following on from the significant Speyside PV scheme announced last September, three new photovoltaic schemes are now fully up and running as of March 2018 at Lochinvar Water Treatment Works (50KW), and at both Oban and Campbeltown Waste Water Treatment Works (50KW each). Through a combination of investment in renewable energy, and hosting private investment on the Scottish Water estate, Scottish Water is now facilitating the generation of renewable energy amounting to more than twice the level of energy consumed by the organisation annually.

In March 2018, Scottish Water Horizons have established a JV with Sharc Energy Systems, supported by funding from the Scottish Government’s Low Carbon Infrastructure Transition Programme (LCITP), to manage the installation and maintenance of a number of key green energy projects generating heat from waste water which are currently in the advanced stages of planning. This follows the launch of the UK’s first Sewage Heat Recovery system, developed and installed by SHARC and facilitated by Scottish Water Horizons, at Borders College in Galashiels last year. The new alliance will support the Scottish Government’s renewable heat and carbon reduction targets for 2020 and aims to create a pipeline of potential installations at suitable sites across Scotland that, when deployed, could generate 170 GWHs annually of heating and cooling to displace the fossil fuel currently used.
