Following the publication of the Scottish Government's International Framework, details of the new International Development Policy have now been published.
The policy strengthens the Scottish Government's commitment to Malawi and recognises the importance of this relationship, cemented by a Co-operation Agreement between our two countries.
The policy sets out the framework for our engagement with some of the poorest countries in Sub-Saharan Africa which have historical, and in some cases, contemporary relationships with Scotland. These countries will be supported through block grants delivered by the Government's partners in development.
The policy also recognises the Indian Subcontinent's strong links with Scotland, and the programme will build on strong, fair and inclusive national identity and express solidarity with communities represented in Scottish society. This programme will be developed with key stakeholders.
