Ministry of Gender has commended Telecommunications Network Malawi (TNM), through its mobile money platform TNM Mpamba, for enhancing the efficiency, speed, and transparency of social cash transfer payments in Mangochi District.
Speaking during the ongoing disbursement exercise on Thursday, Ministry of Gender, Principal Social Affairs Officer , Gilbert Kaponda, said the partnership with TNM has strengthened the delivery of cash transfers to beneficiaries across the district.
“TNM Mpamba has made it possible to process large-scale payments efficiently, making the exercise a major success in public service delivery,” said Kaponda.
Kaponda further revealed that the programme has enabled the disbursement of approximately K6 billion to beneficiaries, emphasizing that improved coordination has ensured timely and accurate payments.
TNM Mpamba, General Manager, Christopher Sukasuka, said the company is proud to be supporting government in delivering social cash transfers to vulnerable households in Mangochi, where more than 27,760 beneficiaries are being reached.
“Disbursing over K5.9 billion within a short period demonstrates the efficiency and reliability of digital payments compared to manual methods that previously took months,” he said.
Sukasuka added that the use of Mpamba has also expanded financial inclusion, as many beneficiaries are using mobile money services for the first time, strengthening their access to formal financial systems
