What we checked

A PPPC/DMAP account published on 28 April 2026 identifies the National Data Centre in Lilongwe, Malawi. (source)
That dated account reports completion of the civil and infrastructure installation works; it is a historical construction milestone, not a current operating-stage or availability check. (source)

The PPPC/DMAP account published 28 April 2026 identifies the National Data Centre in Lilongwe and reports a civil/infrastructure-installation completion milestone. This is not verification of present operation, complete technical readiness, capacity or available compute. Current legal operator/owner, power, cooling, connectivity, access, street address and coordinates remain unknown. Additional-server plans, hosted-system counts, funding and the separate Blantyre disaster-recovery site are excluded. The article title suffix LL does not establish Roman II, an expansion or another physical phase. The institutional footer address is not a facility address. One selected historical omission is not a new October market arrival or Malawi/Africa completeness.

Linked Public Private Partnership Commission / Digital Malawi Acceleration Project (PPPC/DMAP) source articles: Copyright retained; no open content licence asserted. ComputeFinder independently states two minimal attributed basic facts and provides an ordinary unframed link. No article narrative, quotations, images, logos, personal/contact details, tables or datasets are reproduced or adapted. No endorsement, blanket source clearance or recurring-monitoring grant. Copyright remains with the source. The actual linked terms/privacy pages contain parsed navigation/footer shells without substantive notice text; this bounded inspection is not proof that no other terms exist. No applicable restriction on this precise minimal factual account or ordinary link was visible. Any newly evidenced applicable restriction requires review.

Lilongwe historical location and site roles

The PPPC project account published on 3 September 2025 locates the National Data Centre at the Department of E-Government premises along Paul Kagame Road in Lilongwe.
That account identifies Lilongwe as the primary site and designates the Mandala Data Centre in Blantyre as its separate disaster-recovery site.

PPPC: Lilongwe location and separate site-role account. Read the dated PPPC account for its location and site-role context, then inspect the original documents and any later evidence directly before relying on current status.

Scoped decision evidence checked 17 October 2026; next review by 23 October 2026. Source publication: 3 September 2025. Source update date is not stated. Historical described premises and site roles only, not coordinates, a building boundary, legal owner or operator, current stage, completed replication, operation, compliance or available compute. Mandala is a separate disaster-recovery reference, not a new facility admission, alias or merged phase. The underlying ESMP was not read or admitted. The earlier April 2026 milestone and all canonical facility facts and dates remain unchanged.

Public Private Partnership Commission: Source copyright retained; exact basic-fact use assessed only. Two minimal attributed independently worded basic location and site-role facts and an ordinary unframed original link only. Copyright 2021 PPPC retained. No source narrative, quotations, plan, attachments, tables, maps, images, contacts or datasets reproduced or adapted. No open licence, endorsement, blanket source clearance or recurring-monitoring grant. No express precise-use restriction was visible in the complete landing account and its links/footer; this is not a guarantee that no other terms exist. Reassess newly evidenced applicable restrictions without a paraphrase workaround.
