Dowa District Council wants development partners to show up at meetings. Acting Chief Planning Officer Yusuf Laki says many groups present projects and disappear after approval. He finds this behavior troubling and wants it to stop. Partners should send skilled people who can report back to their teams. These representatives need to attend District Executive Committee meetings regularly.
Laki spoke at a recent meeting at the district office. He asked partners to work with government staff on all projects. This teamwork helps projects continue after funding ends. Partners must write reports about their work and share lessons learned. The district needs these updates to track progress.
All partners must send quarterly reports to the council's monitoring office. This system helps the district know what happens where. Communities often ask the council about projects after they finish. Laki praised World Vision and Malawi Human Rights Resource Centre for excellent work. These groups make service delivery easier for the council.
