National Agencies

National agencies in Malawi are publicly funded bodies, commissions, and state-owned enterprises and authorities, and many were established by an Act of Parliament. They include, among many, the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA), which is responsible for licensing telecommunications, postal and broadcasting operators; the Malawi Housing Corporation (MHC), which is responsible for housing development, provision and maintenance; Airport Developments Limited (ADL), which owns and manages Lilongwe International Airport; and the Tobacco Control Commission (TCC), which controls all aspects of the tobacco trade in Malawi.
