Community Sensitisation Meeting with Village Development Committees
As part of implementing the Tikweze Programme, Umunthu Plus, together with Malawi Community Hubs and ECOSID, held community sensitisation meetings with Village Development Committee (VDC) members and community members in Traditional Authorities Mwadzama and Malengachanzi.
The aim was to introduce the Tikweze Programme to communities and explain its objectives, key interventions and implementation approach, while promoting community participation, ownership, and support throughout the project implementation period.
The sensitisation meetings focus on the key project interventions to be implemented in the communities, the roles and responsibilities of VDC members in supporting project implementation and community mobilisation, and mechanisms for communication and coordination between the project team, VDCs, and community members.
The programme is being implemented in Kanyangale and Mvalamanja VDCs in Mwadzama, and Kaungulu and Sasani 2 VDCs in Malengachanzi.
Umunthu Plus, together with its consortium partners, remains committed to working with communities and local structures to support meaningful participation and successful implementation of the Tikweze Programme.
