Malawi shines on UNESCO’s Bridge project

Malawi has registered unique performance in the ended five-year Bridge I Project which has seen financiers renewing her project while dropping seven other countries for not doing well.

UNESCO’s Malawi National Commission, Acting Executive Secretary, David Mulera, made the announcement on Wednesday at Linde Motel, at Mponela in Dowa during a Bridge II Project Start-up workshop.

“We have performed more exceptionally, outstining seven other countries namely, Botswana, Eswatin, Namibia, Mozambique, Rwanda and Zimbabwe, which are now missing on the financial assistance ladders of the Bridge II Project which will run for the next five years.

“This means Malawi will gain a lot in its development agenda in line with MW agenda 2030 as outline by the state president, in areas of education, we are looking at more Early Childhood Centers built and operationalized, more libraries and more reading apart from other grey areas that matter in development,” he said.

Director of Community Development, in the Ministry of Gender and Social Welfare and Community Development, Clotilda Sawasawa, agreed with the Secretary that Malawi has already benefitted enormously from the just ended Bridge I Project phase.

Bridge II project Manager, George Mindano, said at the moment UNESCO Nation Commission expects to expand its works in more communities across the country so that the main objective of this project should be realized for the benefit of the citizens.
