DEC members are key stakeholders to the\nimplementation and success of the project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This three-year\nproject builds on the \u201cPromotion for the Enjoyment of Women and\nChildren Rights\u201d project which phased out in May 2019. To effectively measure\nimpact on the ground for possible scaling up, the project will focus on\nselected groups of villages in four parishes of St. Mathias (Misuku), St. John\nPaul II (Kapoka), St. Michaels (Chitipa but focus is in Kameme) and Chisankhwa\nParish in Ulambiya Songwe. Thus only 96 villages will be directly reached with\nproject intervention. To ensure sustainability of the project, traditional\nleaders and their spouses will be taken as agents of change in their localities.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reacting to project presentation by\nJustice and Peace Desk, Chitipa DEC members promised to collaborate with the project\nimplementation team for the benefit of Chitipa Community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJustice and Peace Desk is a good\ndeveloping partner in the promotion of justice and human rights in the district.\nCases of abuse and human rights violation, among vulnerable groups, do not\nspare any area in the district. I therefore suggest that future interventions\nof this sort have to reach Nthalire and Wenya as well,\u201d said Magistrate Ngosi. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the selection of households, those that\nwill directly benefit from the project, DEC advised Justice and Peace Desk to\nconsider women headed and child headed families. DEC further advised the Desk\nto work with relevant stakeholders or line sectors like social welfare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project\ninception meeting with DEC members was held at St. Kizito Conference Hall in\nChitipa District.\n\nThe goal of the project\nis to ensure that \u201cthe rights of rural women, children and other vulnerable\ngroups in Chitipa District have been self-guarded\u201d. Misereor Germany is funding\nthe project.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Moses Mwakisalu Following the technical appraisal of the \u201cSafeguarding the Rights of Women, Children and other vulnerable groups in the Diocese of Karonga\u201d project, by the District Executive Committee of Chitipa District on October 18, the Justice and Peace Desk of the Diocese of Karonga has started implementing activities under the project.
