8 5. Capacity Development and Learning The following Capacity Development activities took place during the Quarter. 1. Financial Clinic workshop organised by Tilitonse Fund held at Malawi Sun Hotel on 1 st July The organization was represented by the the Project Manager, Finance Officer and one member of the Board. 2. Another Finance and Mentorship meeting was conducted at YAIO offices in Kanabar House on the 6 th September This meeting was aimed at following up on issues to do with financial management The Capacity Development meetings has empowered and improved the project team s understanding on different issues concerning finances and management. 6. Networking and Collaboration The project received a good reception from the youth office, Kabula Youth Network, city council, ward counselors, Community Based Organizations, Youth groups, village Heads and local governance structures such as Village Development Committees (VDCs). This was due to the buy in meetings the organization conducted before the start of the project with the City Authorities, Youth Office, Targeted Counselors, Village Heads and Social Welfare Office with the aim of making them understand the project goal and purpose. In all the activities implemented so far, there has been a representation from the City Council, youth office, youth groups, community based organizations and community & opimion leaders. During the quarter, YAIO has also participated in other project activities funded by Tilitonse Fund organized by Umodzi CBO, Genesis Manja Othandiza (GEMO) and Concerned Youth Organization (CYO) 7. Lesson Learnt 1. Though there are local governance structures such as the Village Development Committees, Area Development Committees and Disaster Risk Management Committees in the targed wards, most members in these committees do not know their roles and responsibilities as a result they are not able to exercise their duties and tasks rightfully. 2. In Mbayani ward where there are four Village Development Committees, the two Village Development Committees which are under Village headman Mbayani are too much controlled by the ward counsellor. And from our observation it shows that there is no good relationship between the village headman and the ward Counsellor up to the point that the village headman in most cases do not go to community development meetings if the ward counsellor is also going to be at that meeting. 8. Challenges 1. The absence of Village Head Mbayani in our meetings is a challenge. Though we had a buy in meeting with him, when he is invited he do not show up. But we are still working out on ways on how he can be conviced to start showing up in these developmental meetings and activities.

9 2. The lower number of community groups targeting women in the targeted wards (there are less specific groups targeting women) 3. Poor working relationship between the ward counsellor and the village head in Mbayani ward is affecting the operations of local governance structures as the ward counsellor is the only contact person for the local governance structures. But with time, from the people that comes to our meetings, we will be able to contact these committee members through activity registration forms and other members participating in our gatherings. 9. Recommendations Observing and learning from the activities implemented so far, there is need to empower members of local governance structures and community members in the targeted wards on their roles and responsibilities towards development projects. 9
