2 Minister s Statement The Malawi Government fully recognizes that good governance is essential for socio-economic development of the country. The Government is also fully aware that transparency, accountability and responsiveness to the needs of the citizens are essential elements of good governance. The development of this charter by the Malawi Immigration Department therefore is a clear testimony of the Government s commitment to promote transparency and accountability and help deliver good governance in the department. This charter identifies the services to be expected by the citizens and the associated standards of services in the delivery of such services. I have a firm belief that this charter shall serve as a tool for fostering change in the quest for service excellence in the department, reorienting the way business is conduct to a customer and service focus. I also hope that through this charter the department shall have the opportunity to measure and assess its performance and initiate ongoing performance improvement. I am quite cognizant of the fact that the issuance of this charter may not transform the mindset of the staff as well as the public which have developed over time. This therefore calls for consistent untiring, and persistent efforts in order to bring Hon. Uladi Mussa, MP MINISTER OF HOME AFFAIRS 2
3 FOREWORD by the Chief Immigration Officer The Malawi Immigration Department is pleased to publish the open, accountable and customer oriented Immigration Service in Malawi. The Charter is a social contract between the Malawi Immigration Department as a service provider and the recipients of its services. It specifies standards of service delivery, which the Malawi Immigration Department believes members of the general public in Malawi have a right to expect, and sets out feedback and redress mechanisms. The Charter has been developed through consultation between Malawi Immigration Department customers and members of staff. It is with great pleasure that I present to you, the Customer Service Charter for the Malawi Immigration Department. I hope this Charter will enable the Immigration Department to provide timely and quality services. I encourage all customers to use the provisions of the Service Charter to ensure that services meet your expectations. This Charter will be reviewed annually to ensure that we are meeting your requirements. Hudson Jefter Mankhwala CHIEF IMMIGRATION OFFICER April
