I was recently given the opportunity to speak briefly about The MalDent Project during a meeting at Edinburgh City Chambers on 12th August between John Swinney, First Minister of Scotland, and the Scotland Malawi Partnership.
The meeting also involved Angus Robertson MSP, the Scottish Government’s Cabinet Secretary for International Development, and Sarah Boyack MSP, Vice Convenor of Holyrood’s Malawi Cross-Party Group.
A full account of the event, including video recordings of the adresses by John Swinney and Angus Robertson, has been published by the Scotland Malawi Partnership and can be viewed here.
The evening demonstrated the vibrancy of the many civic society links between Scotland and Malawi across multiple sectors. It was a privilege to participate and, in the case of The MalDent Project, to acknowledge the significant financial support we have received from the Scottish Government International Development programme.
The event closed with comments from Stuart Brown, the Chief Executive Officer of the Scotland Malawi Partnership:
Many congratulations are due to Stuart and his team for organising such an impactful and engaging event.

We always appreciate the Scottish government support to Malawi. Many Thanks
Many thanks for the update Jeremy. I can imagine it must have indeed have been a priviledge to have been there on the evening. Kindest regards, Ruthie
Thanks for the update 🙏
