Mindset Change
The DPP is committed to providing practical and actionable solutions for fostering a transformative mindset across all levels of society. We believe that meaningful change begins with comprehensive civic education, innovative reforms in our education system, and targeted community engagement. Our approach also emphasizes the importance of leadership by example, inspiring individuals and communities to embrace new ways of thinking.
Public Service Performance
The DPP government will ensure that Malawi's Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary operate independently while collaborating to serve the public. The DPP is committed to improving service delivery and attracting talent and plans to restructure the civil service for efficiency, adjust salaries to match living costs, promote deserving employees, and expedite the recruitment of accredited teachers and medical personnel.
Private Sector, Industry, and Trade
The DPP government will address bottlenecks for SMEs and large enterprises to promote inclusivity and tackle supply-side constraints in the Malawi economy. This approach aims to harness the demographic dividend from a skilled, youthful population. The DPP will create supportive trade infrastructure, revamp the industrial sector through vibrant agro-processing and mining, and implement competitive service sectors.
Human Capital Development
The DPP government is dedicated to providing Free Secondary Education and promoting mandatory primary and secondary education. By 2030, the government aims to implement a comprehensive 12 years of free education, consisting of eight years of primary education followed by four years of secondary education. To support this initiative, the DPP government will enact laws to ensure that no child is left out of school.

It recognizes their impact in shaping public opinion, promoting accountability, and fostering unity. The party is committed to safeguarding political rights and enabling inclusive participation in national development.
