Vireo worked together with a client in Malawi to develop a best practice governance framework. The project entailed setting up governance structures and defining roles and responsibilities essential for achieving desired outcomes.

About the Project
Amidst evolving regulatory landscapes and increasing demands for transparency, a client in Malawi recognized the need to enhance their governance structures to maintain competitiveness and ensure legal compliance. The objective was to establish a robust governance framework that articulated clear roles and responsibilities across the organization.
Objective and Methodology
The primary goal was to develop a governance framework that aligned with international best practices while being tailored to the local business environment in Malawi. Our approach involved:
  • Gap Analysis: Conducting an initial assessment of existing governance structures compared to best practices in the industry.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Engaging with board members, management, and regulatory bodies to understand their expectations and requirements.
  • Framework Design: Outlining detailed governance structures, roles, and responsibilities tailored to the client’s organizational structure and strategic goals.
Results
The implementation of the governance framework resulted in:
  • Defined Structures: Establishment of clear governance structures that enhance decision-making processes and accountability.
  • Roles Clarification: Detailed delineation of roles and responsibilities, ensuring that all employees understand their duties and how they contribute to the organization’s objectives.
  • Compliance and Competitiveness: Enhanced compliance with local and international regulations, improving the client's competitiveness in the market.
Stakeholder Buy-In The collaborative approach ensured that the framework was well-received by all levels of the organization, fostering a culture of accountability and structured governance.
Conclusion and Future Direction The governance framework has laid a solid foundation for sustainable growth and compliance in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Our ongoing support and periodic reviews aim to keep the framework relevant and responsive to changes in the business landscape.
