"Kondwani Paddon delivering a speech"

Excerpt from news reel:

Malivia is a state of equality stated Kondwani Paddon in his speech. Furthermore he blasted the Peoples Party for outright lying about an inherent bias in favor of the Esinsundu People which by his words is a complete and utter lie. Then he went on to scrutinize the financial advisers of the People Party pointing out that they wish to cut spending across the board to balance the budget which will mean a reduction of the capabilities of the Malivian welfare state.

Durrakh-Râajh Opinion-What Does The Rise of the People's Party Mean for Malivia?

People at A PP Rally in Walkaunar Province:-

Image

The Kalkali Centric People's Party has been rising In terms of popularity over the past few months and polling points out to the fact that they may actually win seats in the next elections,So what exactly does this parties rise mean for the Malivian People?The Party has,only brought to the fore the fear and anger among the Kalkali Community about its possible "elimination"from Malivia,The Data from the Recent Censuses have pointed to Rising Emigration of Kalkalis to other nations and a fall in the birth rates among the community automatically resulted in the reduction of their size and clout in Malivian Politics,From once being a Majority Community,They Only constitute 37% of The Malivian Population now.

When the Party was Founded,it stated it's commitment to Enforce"Gerajan Morality"in the Nation,But The Party has surprisingly picked up a lot of support among Hosian Kalkalis as well and it has responded by recently naming Two Hosians of Kalkali Descent-Melanie Singh and David Nandy as party spokespersons.The Party has also seen its membership rise to 20,000 in a few months and has already been drawing massive crowds to its rallies

But One Thing is for sure,This Party is surely harnessing the fears of the Kalkali Community and we don't know for sure if it will be able to receive atleast 60% of the Kalkali Vote in the Next Elections,But it has created a polarised political scene and we will be knowing how polarised it is come 4311.

Killing the enemy with their own weapons!
October 4311

"Weapon warehouse insider photo"

Excerpt from news reel:

Malivia paratroopers in combination with the Volksarmee have taken to liberating weapon warehouses and supply the Volksarmee with a steady stream of weaponry and ammunition. Not only that but due to recent actions of the coalition force many hulstrian units have started defecting to the Volksarmee bringing much needed heavy weaponry to their cause and allowing the Malivian UCAVs that are operating in Southern Ostland and Hulstria to be more noticeable due to not being thinned out across the entire front.

Image

HITAM - In a four day during state visit, Governor General of Cobura Domiano Corona has arrived at Hitam International Airport on Wednesday to begin his four-day state visit to Malivia. Instead of immediately meeting his Malivian counterpart Ms. Juliette Cazembe, Corona will first hold talks with visiting Coburans and attend a Malivia-Cobura business conference, Global Times reports. The two state leaders' meeting is expected to be held on Thursday afternoon and will involve a welcoming ceremony and a Memorandum of Understanding signing, as well as dinner and cultural activities to celebrate the two nations establishing diplomatic ties.

When the Governor General arrived at Hitam International Airport, he adressed the much-attending media:
It is a great honour to travel to Malivia today to discuss areas of mutual interest between our countries as well as advance President Cazembe's foreign affairs agenda in Malivia. We look forward to a productive conversation, and hopefully time to appreciate the beautiful sights of Malivia in the short time we are here. We would also like to thank Foreign Minister Power for his gracious invitation to be here today.Cobura can give Malivia a lot and Malivia can give a lot to Cobura! Our peoples have the right to live in peace and security but I am also convinced in friendship! They want to meet, cooperate, work together and it is our duty to make efforts to make this happen. See this visit as the beginning of a flourishing partnership between Malivia and Cobura .I want to thank you all for the wonderful welcome and I very much hope that this day is the cornerstone of a prosperous future for both of our nations in the name of friendship.

The need to rethink skilling in Malivia
February 4319

Image
"Targeted initiatives focused on updating skills can help ensure that the training benefits its intended audience."

Excerpt from news reel:

Young and aspirational, the millennial generation that makes up about 40% of Malivia’s population has long been regarded as the saviour and driver of future economic growth. Yet, the gap between the productive labour force and the employment and entrepreneurial opportunities available to them continues to widen. The fourth Industrial Revolution has already made its mark on certain sectors. The economic turmoil that could be brought on by further large-scale disruption should be a cause of concern.

Malivia’s status as an information technology (IT) powerhouse has fostered the false hope that the nation could be saved from future disruption. It should be noted, however, that the global appeal of the Malivian IT industry has been the labour cost arbitrage available to multinational corporations looking to capitalize on a young, educated, English-speaking population. Low wages alleviated only by the stringent enforcement of wage and labour laws cannot drive economic growth or foster innovation, and the sector’s professionals are easily replaceable if they ask for higher pay or wish to move up the ladder.

With prestigious and highly regarded Malivian sectors such as IT amounting to little more than cyber “coolies”, the manufacturing and agricultural sectors are in an even more precarious situation. Much of Malivia’s workforce is already hampered with outdated and irrelevant skills. As technology continues to surge forward in leaps and bounds, both blue- and white-collar jobs will become increasingly sparse.

To be fair, policymakers recognize the problem and have taken steps to combat it. The economic incentives in the Hyperion programme aimed at accelerating the pace of skill development, creating new employment opportunities and reforming Malivia’s archaic labour ecosystem is a positive step. Yet the challenges faced are complex and varied.

Encumbered with the Herculean challenge of skilling millions of young Malivians we are forced to coordinate with 22 departments and ministries at the national level, and many more at the sub-national levels. Also we must account for the possibility of intra-state migration, rapid urbanization and possible changes in social fabric as populations react to new job opportunities.

It is also imperative that we focus on implementing a multi-skilling aspect to its training programme moving forward. As job markets evolve at unprecedented rates, it is incumbent upon us to provide its trainees with more than one way to earn a living. Additionally, we should also explore the possibility of programmes aimed at skilling and reskilling older “educated” populations that might be left behind owing to disruption and technological advances.

Furthermore, the curriculum and education system offered also needs to be overhauled. Industry sources claim that close to 90% of trainees have limited understanding of the business sectors they are entering. For many skill programme graduates, the training does very little to prepare them for their day-to-day jobs.

Targeted initiatives focused on updating skills can help ensure that the training benefits its intended audience. A solutions-based approach, where instructors employ case studies and present relevant problems, would provide students with a holistic education, allowing them to compete at both the national and international levels.

Implementation of licensing and regulation procedures can also help boost the labour force’s chances globally. Most developed nations have systems in place to ensure that electricians, plumbers, agricultural machine operators and other skilled trade workers update their skills regularly through the licensing and regulatory mechanisms. Implementing such a system without creating additional layers of burdensome bureaucracy might be challenging, but could also be a key difference marker for the labour force moving forward.

Cutting away excessive bureaucratic fat, implementing structural changes to the pedagogy of the skill training system, and installing licensing and regulatory mechanisms are all important steps to help reskill Malivia. The most important change, however, needs to happen on a cultural level. Skill training should be viewed as a complementary part of mainstream education, rather than being regarded as an inferior alternative. Gainful employment through skilled trades needs to be embraced by the wider Malivian public and given the respectability and opportunity it deserves, for true change to be brought about. Otherwise, Malivia’s youth will be relegated to the same conditions that their grandparents were subject to.

Delays, Corruption Mar Malivia’s Weapons Procurement
August 4321

Image
"Weapon show for high Malivian officials."

Excerpt from news reel:

Malivia’s armed forces are woefully short of arms and ammunition, thanks to a cumbersome and unrealistic weapons-buying process, experts say.

The Malivian Army is one of world’s biggest arms importer and largest militaries with 505.000 men and women in uniform. While self-reliance has been Malivia’s long stated goal for defense purchases, the country still imports about more than 40 percent of its weapons and domestic production facilities are still very basic.

Government officials say Malivia’s weapon’s procurement system is marred by bureaucratic delays, corruption and poor long-term planning. In a recent report, Malivia’s comptroller and auditor general found that the army had failed to decide on what features it wanted in its artillery for four years. In another report from 4263, the auditor found that the army had created a set of unrealistic and inconsistent requirements that could not be met by the technology available at the time.

Last month, none other than the chief of Malivian army, Gen. Nikhil Das, decried the shortage of arms and ammunition in a letter to Prime Minister Marlissia Persad.

The letter, which was leaked to the Malivian newspaper Sun Group, said that the army did not have sufficient ammunition for its tanks; that long range surface-to-air missile systems of the country’s air defense systems were obsolete; and that the infantry was riddled with deficiencies including an less than optimal ability to fight at night. General Singh blamed the country’s complex defense procurement system for the problems.

But there is plenty of blame to go around. “I am of the opinion that the army is also responsible for this situation,” said Jyothi Vemulakonda, a researcher with the Institute of Defense Studies and Analysis, a research organization funded by Malivian’s Defense Ministry.

Malivia’s defense minister, Charles Damodar, held a meeting, earlier this week, with General Nikhil Das and top bureaucrats to speed up the acquisition process. He asked officials to examine if they could shorten the time for field trials and delegate more financial authority to service headquarters, according to a statement from the ministry.

Institute of Economic Growth report / Malivia Is Poised To Become The World's Fifth Largest Economy, But It Can't Stop There
March 4325

Excerpt from news reel:

Malivia is on track to overtake Zardugal to become the world's fifth largest economy by the 4330's, according to data and forecasts from the Institute of Economic Growth an autonomous body under the Government of Malivia for advanced research on economic and social development. It is widely regarded as a center of excellence in the field. Don't blame Zardugal though; Their economy is coming off its eighth straight year of growth and its economy has outpaced both Luthori and Trigunia this year. No, the credit is all to Malivia.

Malivia's economy hasn't had a down year in this century and has been growing at around 7% per year ever since President Marlissia Persad took office at the head of the Wind of Change parrty. Next year, Malivias economy will be one-third bigger than when Persad took office. That means huge change in one of the world's largest democracies.

Change on that scale requires difficult policy choices. The Nationalist Prime Minister Mr. Harri Charles-Mardipe Greater Malivia Party have pushed through tough reforms like demonetization (the sudden removal from circulation of high denomination banknotes) and GST harmonization (the introduction of a unified national goods and services tax).

These kinds of economic reform may be good for growth, but they're not responsible for making Malivia the world's fifth-largest economy. Just look at the competition Malivia has blown past in the last four years. Malivia started the decade behind Zardugal, Trigunia, Selucia, and Luthori but under Persad it has passed all of them. Soon it will trail only Dorvik and the "big three" of the Istalia, Kazulia, and Vanuku.

The one thing Malivia has that those countries don't is young people -- lots of them. And with specialization programs, technical schools and colleges Malivia makes certain that her young adult populace has the knowledge to help her economy towards the sky.
