As an integral part of its Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR), IPOR supported PSA with MK 2 million towards their 3^rd Biennial Conference which took place from 3^rd to 4^th of May 2024 at Nkopola Lodge in Mangochi district.

Speaking during the cheque handover ceremony, IPOR’s Director of Strategy and Management, Prof. Blessings Chinsinga, observed that the work of PSA is instrumental to getting the country’s political system right, which is an essential prerequisite for fundamental structural and sustainable transformation.

Prof. Chinsinga said: “Effective political systems ensure stable governance, which is essential for maintaining law and order, protecting citizens' rights, and providing public services. A vibrant and inclusive Political Science Association is an important tool in achieving this goal, and such proactive engagement is instrumental to demonstrating the relevance of political science in building a vibrant and progressive society.”

PSA representative, Maureen Kapanga, commended IPOR for the support that it has always rendered to different noble causes as an integral part of its CSR portfolio. In her remarks, Kapanga said IPOR has distinguished itself as a leading advocate for the development of political science in the country through its work, which has helped shape effective and evidence-based public policies in various sectors of the economy.
