Zomba District Council
District Development Plan

(2017-2022)
March 2018
Foreword
This District Development Plan (DDP) is a very important framework that sets development priorities
for Zomba District for the next five years (2017-2022). It charts an ambitious path to transform the
communities in Zomba by translating the national priorities articulated in Malawi’s Vision 2020 and
Malawi Growth and Development Strategy III (MGDS III) into tailor-made goals and plans of the
district.
The plan therefore outlines interventions in the following MGDS III key priority areas: agriculture,
water development and climate change management; education and skills development; energy, industry
and tourism development; transport and information, communication and technology (ICT)
infrastructure; and health and population. Additionally, development interventions in the district will
focus on the following other areas of development as indicated in MGDS III: financial services; disaster
risk management and social support; gender, youth development, persons with disability and social
welfare; human settlement and physical planning; HIV and AIDS management; nutrition and Peace and
Security; and integrated rural development.
I have all the hope that this DDP will bring about a coordinated approach to implementation of
development projects and programmes that are reflective of communities’ needs and priorities. The
district’s annual performance tracking and evaluations will hinge on this DDP. All development
stakeholders operating in Zomba district are therefore required to align their interventions to this DDP.
Implementation of development interventions outside this framework will not be condoned.
Finally, I would like to call upon all development stakeholders and communities in particular, to join
hands in supporting the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the programmes and projects
outlined in this plan. This will ensure successful implementation and thereby improve the living
standards of the people of Zomba District.

Preface
This District Development Plan creates space for development actors in Zomba district to reflect on
challenges, lessons learnt and achievements registered during the last five years. Following the lessons
learnt, the achievements made and challenges faced in the last five years, the council presents to all
development stakeholders this DDP which runs from 2017 to 2022. This plan provides a comprehensive
medium-term strategy for an all-inclusive development agenda. The plan outlines priorities that will
drive the socio- economic development of Zomba district for the next five years by providing specific
actions which will be undertaken in each sector throughout this period.
This District Development Plan is a tool which will guide planning, implementation and coordination
of development interventions in Zomba District. Complete ownership of this DDP by the citizenry of
the district is critical for the successful implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the outlined
interventions. Furthermore, to achieve the stated goals and fast-track economic development, the council
believes that private sector participation is essential and therefore commits itself to encouraging new
innovations and developments by the private sector through public private partnerships as well as wholly
private sector initiatives or ventures.
The development of this plan has benefited from the review of several documents including Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), MGDS III and 2017 Zomba Socio-Economic Profile (SEP). Furthermore,
this DDP has been shaped by the advice from the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development
and various districts’ stakeholders. Additionally, valuable information for the development of this DDP
was also generated through purposive consultations involving local communities, specialists from
sectors at district level, development partners, representatives of the private sector and the Civil Society
Organizations (CSOs) operating in the district.
I therefore remain confident that the collaboration that manifested during the development of this plan
will continue so that all unforeseen risks and challenges can be overcome during the implementation
phase.

Executive Summary
The Decentralization Policy of 1998 which is supported by the Local Government Act of 1998 gives the
local administrative authorities the power and autonomy to undertake development planning through
local people’s participation. It is in line with this that Zomba District Council has designed this five year
DDP (2017-2022). This plan was designed with the participation of different sectors in the district,
citizens, political parties, traditional authorities, Non-Governmental Organizations, the private sector
and the communities through village action planning. The participation and cooperation of these actors
during the designing stage of this DDP inspires hope towards the successful implementation of this plan.
This DDP focuses on eleven development issues which have been prioritized as follows:
1. Food and nutrition insecurity at household level;

2. Loss of biodiversity and environmental degradation;
3. High illiteracy rate;
4. High maternal and infant mortality rates;
5. Limited access to potable water and improved sanitation;
6. Poor transport and communication infrastructure;
7. High poverty levels;
8. High incidences of gender based violations;
9. High crime rate;
10. Weak institutional capacity for effective decentralized service delivery; and
11. Poor development of trading (semi-urban) centres.
In order to address these development issues and accelerate economic development of the district, the
plan has among others identified the following opportunities and potentials; the existence of soils that
are suitable for agriculture including vast areas of irrigable land; forestry resources; fisheries; provision
of banking and credit facilities in rural areas for business growth and entrepreneurship; and tourism for
employment creation.
This DDP is composed of seven chapters. Chapter One is the introduction which gives the context of
the plan in terms of the existing national development frameworks particularly the Vision 2020, the
Malawi Growth and Development Strategy III and the Decentralization Policy. Chapter Two presents
the district development planning framework. It gives the vision and development mission of the district.
The 11 development issues are also presented in a matrix form including their causes, the medium term
and immediate development objectives and strategies. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the
potentials and resource endowments of the district. Chapter Three presents the programmes and projects
in a matrix form. It is a translation of the strategies into specific courses of action which when properly
implemented will cumulatively result into improved living standards of communities. Chapter Four
presents an analysis of the resources for the district focusing on council investments; private
investments; and future financial investments. Chapter Five outlines the costing and sources of financing
for the identified programmes and projects. Chapter Six presents the Monitoring and Evaluation
Framework. It outlines the arrangements for monitoring and evaluating the DDP. It also presents the
result matrix with measurable targets for the five year period. Chapter Seven is the conclusion.
ix
The total budget required to finance this DDP is estimated at MK106, 120,060,000. This amount is
expected to come from various sources including grants from central government, district own locally
generated resources, communities through cash and in-kind resources, the private sector, Non-
Governmental Organizations, and donor projects.

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
National Development Frameworks
The Zomba District Development Plan is anchored by three national development policies namely:
Vision 2020; the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy III (MGDS III); and the National
Decentralization Policy. The following sections briefly discuss these policies and how they relate to this
plan.
i. Vision 2020
Vision 2020 is a long term development objective for the people of Malawi which has been running
since 1997. It articulates the social and economic aspirations of the nation to be attained by the year
2020. It emphasises long term strategic thinking, shared vision, visionary leadership, participation by
the population, strategic management and national learning. The vision states that: “By the year 2020,
Malawi as a God –fearing nation will be secure, democratically mature, environmentally sustainable,
self- reliant with equal opportunities and active participation by all, having social services, vibrant
cultural and religious values and being a technologically driven middle income country”.
The vision identifies the following key national priorities:
 Good governance;
 Sustainable economic development;
 Vibrant culture;
 Economic infrastructure;
 Social development;
 Science and technology led development;
 Fair distribution of income and wealth;
 Food security and nutrition; and
 Sustainable natural resources and environmental management.
In line with these national priorities, this DDP has among others prioritized the following; food and
nutrition security; road and ICT infrastructure, natural resources and environmental management; and
strengthening of institutional capacity for effective decentralized service delivery. Implementation of
interventions in these areas will therefore directly contribute to the achievement of the Vision 2020
priorities.
ii. The Malawi Growth and Development Strategy III (MGDS III)
The MGDS III translates the Vision 2020 into a medium-term development strategy. The strategy aims
at building a productive, competitive and resilient nation. It is built on five key priority areas namely:
agriculture, water development and climate change management; education and skills development;
energy, industry and tourism development; transport and information, communication and technology
(ICT) infrastructure; and health and population. The strategy also identifies other areas of development
intervention as follows: financial services; gender, youth development, persons with disability and social
welfare; human settlement and physical planning; environmental sustainability; nutrition; HIV and
AIDS management; peace and security and integrated rural development. The selection of these key
priorities followed a mapping process to international development frameworks such as the 2030
Agenda on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and African Union Agenda 2063.
Pursuant to these priorities of MGDS III, this DDP has among others prioritised the following
development issues; education and skills development; food and nutrition security; health; transport and
ICT infrastructure; water development; peace and security; and physical planning and human settlement.
Interventions in these areas will directly contribute to MGDS III priorities. Therefore, while Zomba
District has formulated this localised development plan, she is also committed to implementing national
development frameworks which will be done through annual investment plans.
During the implementation of the predecessor of the MGDS III (MGDS II) and particularly during the
2016/17 financial year, Zomba District registered remarkable achievements as follows:
- Monitored community water supply infrastructure performance in 4 gravity fed piped water
schemes;
- Sent 10 Primary Education Advisors for training in advisory services at the Malawi Institute of
Education;
- Put 61,105 hectares under modern farming and inputs;
- 14,746 women delivered and were attended to by skilled personnel;
- Provided HIV Counseling and Testing (HCT) Services to 107,608 people;
- Registered 2289 and assessed 2278 literacy learners in the 198 literacy classes. A total of 2,153
learners were declared literate;
- Revamped 5 Traditional Authority (TA) Based Youth Networks;
- Planted 160,000 seedlings (100 hectares) with a survival rate of 85%;
- Formed 35 irrigation groups and trained 28 of them; and
- Revised Fisheries Socio Economic Profile.
Despite these achievements, effective implementation of planned programmes continues to face several
challenges which include the following:
- Inadequate other recurrent transactions (ORT) resources;

- Delayed and inadequate monthly funding;
- Inadequate and unreliable motor vehicles and motor cycles for field operations;
- Inadequate human resource capacity; and
- Weak coordination and collaboration among stakeholders implementing similar activities.
Therefore, during the lifespan of this 2017-2022 DDP, Zomba District Council will continue to
contribute to the implementation of MGDS III by investing in sectors of health, environment,
agriculture, education, water, tourism, transport and communication. To ensure smooth implementation
of the planned programmes, the council will also continue to liaise with the Treasury for increased and
2
adequate other recurrent transactions (ORT) funding and improve the levels of locally generated
resources. To improve mobility for field work, the council will procure more new vehicles and
motorcycles and also continue to encourage inter-borrowing of vehicles amongst the sectors. The
council will also lobby for recruitment of technical staff in all sectors. To improve coordination and
information sharing amongst development actors in the district, the council will continue conducting
quarterly stakeholder meetings. The council will also focus on establishing partnerships with other
District Councils within and outside Malawi to enhance learning in local government management.
iii. The National Decentralization Policy

Devolution of political and administrative authority to district level is a priority of Malawi Government
as outlined in the National Decentralization Policy. The policy was approved by cabinet in 1998 and is
supported by the Local Government Act of 1998. The Decentralization Policy aims at:

Devolving administrative and political authority to the districts;

Integrating governmental agencies at the district and local level into one administrative unit
through the process of institutional integration, manpower absorption, composite budgeting and
provision of funds for the decentralized services;
 Diverting the centre of implementation responsibilities and transfers to the districts;
 Assigning functions and responsibilities to the various levels of government; and
 Promoting popular participation in governance and development of the districts through actively
involving the ordinary people in designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating their socio-
economic interventions in the rural areas.
The Decentralization Policy seeks to achieve the following objectives:
 To create a democratic environment and institutions in Malawi for governance and development;
at the local level which will facilitate the participation of the grassroots in decision making;
 To eliminate dual administrations (field administration and local government) at the district level
with the aim of making public service more efficient, more economical and cost effective;
 To promote accountability and good governance at the local level in order to help Government
reduce poverty; and
 To mobilize the masses for socio-economic development at the local level.
Through the National Decentralization Policy, Zomba District Council is charged with the overall
development of the district. In the course of its development work, the council is required to provide for
local people's (communities) participation in the formulation and implementation of District
Development Plans (DDP). It is in this respect that the council is requested to form action committees
at area, and village levels. The DDP process is expected to promote decentralization and further guide
development planning in an effort to achieve sustainable poverty reduction through socio-economic and
political empowerment of the communities.

international and national development agenda particularly the Sustainable Development Goals and
Malawi Growth and Development Strategy III. The chapter also gives the vision, mission and the core
values that guide the operations of the council. Development issues and their causes are also highlighted.
The chapter further outlines the medium and short-term council’s objectives and strategies in addressing
these issues. The chapter is concluded by outlining the economic and other potentials of the district.
i. Vision

v. Economic Potentials of Zomba District
Zomba District has a number of sectors which have the potential to contribute to the economic development
of the district. These include: agriculture; forestry; banking and credit facilities; tourism and fisheries. These
are discussed in the next sections.
a) Agriculture
The economy of Zomba District is dominated by agriculture. Generally, the overall type and texture of the
soils are suitable for agricultural production for crops such as maize, cassava, sweet potato, rice, beans,
pigeon peas and ground nuts. Furthermore, Zomba District has a potential for irrigation development with
a total irrigable area of 60,000 hectares out of which only 2,191 hectares is developed. Most of this land is
under gravity fed irrigation due to low operational cost. The upland soils, though less fertile, are suitable
for developments in agroforestry and riverine farming. Interventions in the agriculture sector will therefore
centre on increasing production and productivity through application of appropriate technologies and
development of irrigation farming among others.
b) Forestry
Forestry resources in Zomba are of vital economic importance. The sector has several forest plantations
which offer various benefits to the communities within the district and surrounding areas. The most notable
is Zomba Mountain Timber Plantation which is wholly owned and managed by government and is located
on a plateau and outer slope. The sector however faces some challenges including bush fires and careless
harvesting of forest products leading to loss of biodiversity and environmental degradation. In order sustain
the economic importance of the forest sector, the interventions will focus on protecting the forest resources
by putting in place proper regulatory and management frameworks.
c) Banking and Credit Facilities

Zomba District relies on commercial banks situated in Zomba City which provide all ranges of financial
services (i.e. loans, savings, money transfer, financial credit for inputs and business working capital). On-
farm activities are also supported by the banks. With the advancement of technology, the financial sector
has witnessed an in-flux of non-traditional firms which have joined the industry and provide banking
services such as mobile money. Furthermore the district is endowed with public and private institutions
which offer capacity building trainings in business management. The district also has some government
departments including agriculture (agribusiness section), community development and business promotion
office and NGOs such as Farmers Union, Farmers Organisation, NASFAM, World Vision and Save the
Children also offering business management trainings. Coupled with the presence of the banking and credit
facilities, the training in business management may enable entrepreneurs to start and expand their
businesses. An opportunity therefore exists to provide banking and credit services in the currently unserved
rural Zomba.
d) Tourism
Zomba District is endowed with natural beauty and various tourist attractions. It has a diverse landscape
which offers a variety of distinct natural attractions. These range from Zomba, Chikala hills and Malosa
Mountains to flat plains of Lake Chilwa. The lake itself provides opportunities for individual leisure
holidays, fishing, horse riding, biking, bird watching, searching and digging for crystals. These are some of
the reasons for investing in tourism in Zomba District.
27
Additionally, historical buildings within Zomba City as the centre of the district offer a variety of interesting
places and activities. Furthermore, the location of Zomba District in proximity of Lake Malawi (one hour
drive) and the cities of Blantyre and Zomba makes it a potentially prime recreation area for leisure or
business tourists. Although tourism is developing in the district, particularly in the area of accommodation,
more potential exists in the provision of conference facilities especially taking advantage of the Lake Chilwa
wetland and Zomba Plateau which have more potential for tourism economies of scale where guests can
have a chance to see more than just attending a conference. Developing this sub-sector has a potential of
creating employment. Interventions in this sub-sector will among others focus on improving access to
tourism sites.
e) Fisheries
The fisheries sector contributes significantly to the livelihoods of rural and urban populations as sources of
income, subsistence and employment. Fisheries resources in Zomba district are found in Lake Chilwa, rivers
and fish ponds. The sector provides direct employment to about 633 fish farmers, 670 fishers and 2,620
crew members and indirectly to over 10,000 people who are engaged in boat building, fish processing and
marketing. Fish from Lake Chilwa is traded in the cities of Zomba, Blantyre and Lilongwe including all
districts in Central and Southern Regions. If well managed, the sector has a potential of contributing over
MWK3.91 billion annually to the economy of Zomba District

CHAPTER FOUR: RESOURCES FOR DISTRICT
DEVELOPMENT
Zomba District Council commits itself to undertaking a number of strategies which will enhance its
revenue collection capacity to finance this plan. These include establishing commercial ventures,
training relevant committees in revenue mobilization strategies, improving market infrastructures.
Therefore funding of this DPP will come from locally generated but also transfers from the central
government, the private sector and development partners. Below is an analysis of the investments
a. Analysis of Council Investments

The major sources of locally generated resources for the council include market fees, business
licensing; issuance of certificates and registration of institutions. The level of locally generated
resources has continued to improve since 2014/15 financial year reaching slightly over MK110
Million during the 2017/18 financial form less than MK70 million at the start of implementation of
the previous DDP . This upward trend is expected to continue during the implementation period of
this DDP. The council’s budget is currently at about MK9.6 Billion for both locally generated
resources (taxes and service charges) and central government transfers. Furthermore where applicable
the communities themselves will continue to provide own resources to projects in form of labour and
locally available material resources such as sand, bricks and quarry stones. The table below depicts
resource utilization for the 11 priority development issues with the health sector taking up close to
40% the resources. This is due to major construction projects planned for the next five years including
the upgrading of Domasi Community Hospital to a District Hospital.
Table 14: Resource Utilisation for the Development Priority Issues

Rank Development Outcome Percentage
(MK'000)
1 Improved food and nutrition security at household level 3,061,000 2.9
2 Improved environmental management 1,934,000 1.8
3 Increased literacy rate 7,229,500 6.8
4 Improved access to health care serviced 41,322,000 38.6
5 Increased access to potable water and improved sanitation 3,852,560 3.6
6 Improved transport and communication infrastructure 21,247,000 19.9
7 Reduced poverty levels 11,960,000 11.2
8 Reduced incidences of gender based violations 130,000 0.1

Total 106,120,060 100
b. Private Investment Analysis

The areas identified for the private sector include agriculture, forestry, banking and credit facilities
tourism and fisheries. In agriculture sector, the private sector could develop agriculture estates or
engage in agro-processing and value addition. The private sector could also engage in offering
62
banking and credit facilities due to the fact that these services are currently unavailable in the rural
Zomba. There are also opportunities for the private sector to invest in the tourism sector as this sector
is currently underdeveloped. To fully exploit these potentials the private sector is expected to invest
a considerable amount of resources through public private partnerships (PPPs) or entirely by the
private sector itself.
c. Future Financial Projections:

The trend for the last five years indicates that the council’s revenue (locally generated and central
government transfers) has been growing by over 5% annually. This trend is expected to continue due
to revenue collection enhancement measures which have been lined up in this DDP. Therefore
councils’ revenues (locally generated and central government transfers) are projected at about MK53
billion. The contribution from project donations, non-organizations and donors, the private sector is
expected to finance the gap of about MK53 billion projected for the 5 year period. The future financial
projections are summarized in the table below.

CHAPTER SIX: MONITORING AND EVALUATION
Zomba District Development Plan aims at facilitating coordinated delivery of development in the district
during the period 2017 to 2022. To ensure efficient and effective implementation of the planned programs
and projects, a monitoring and evaluation framework has been developed which will guide all stakeholders
in tracking and measuring progress. This framework is presented in annex II. It is intended to generate
useful information for decision making and enhance accountability regarding the implementation of the
planned interventions. It will therefore provide early warning information on the progress being made
toward the targets so that where applicable, corrective actions can timely be taken.
6.1 Levels of Monitoring and Evaluation
To ascertain whether the implementation is being done properly and whether the proposed yearly targets
are being met, monitoring and evaluation will therefore be undertaken at various levels and by different
stakeholders. At the community level, the Village Development Committees, Area Development
Committees, and other actors will undertake monitoring and evaluation. At this level, communities through
project implementation committees (PIC) will develop M&E plans based on the Village Action Plans
(VAPs) which will be used to track progress. At district level, monitoring and evaluation of this DDP will
be undertaken according to annual action plans presented in table 18 below. Quarterly and monthly reports
on each programme/project shall be prepared by the District Monitoring and Evaluation Office and
submitted to relevant stakeholders. During the implementation period, line ministries particularly the
Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development (MoLGRD) will also undertake monitoring and
evaluation of implementation of this DDP.

6.2 Monitoring and Evaluation Capacity Building
Cognizance of the problems that rocked the monitoring and evaluation process of the previous DPPs, The
district through the Monitoring and Evaluation Office will embark on building capacities for M&E at all
levels. This will include providing equipment and trainings in M&E in all sectors and communities. This
will ensure that quality and accurate data will be generated by the district M&E system.
6.3 Participation of Actors in Monitoring and Evaluation
To ensure ownership and sustainability of the interventions, all actors will take part in the monitoring and
evaluation of the implementation of the projects and programmes. The roles and responsibilities of the
stakeholders in DDP M&E process are clearly defined in table 17 below.
Table 18: Roles and Responsibilities of Actors in the DDP Process

Actor Roles and Responsibilities
Department of Local Government - Conduct regular monitoring visits together with relevant
planning bodies
- Convenes quarterly and annual review meetings in
conjunction relevant bodies

Accounts Office - Prepares and forwards Financial Reports to DPD, DAT and
DAT
ADC - Prepares physical and financial progress report and work plan
based on VDC community monitoring report
VDC - Consolidates and submits community monitoring report to
DPD
6.4 Indicators, Data Collection, Analysis and Reporting
The effectiveness of the district’s M&E system in providing correct and accurate feedback on
implementation progress and results highly depends on the setting of realistic and correct indicators,
accuracy of data collection and reporting. Annex I (Result Matrix) provides the district’s performance
indicators (outcome and output indicators) that will be monitored and evaluated for the period 2017 to 2022.
78
It is important to note that most of these indicators are in the district data base and the district is already
reporting on most of them. These indicators are also linked to the government programme based budget
(PBB). These performance indicators therefore form the basis for the district’s M&E framework (Annex I).
The defined output indicators in the annex dictate the required type of data and information that will be
collected across all the identified development issues in this DDP. The frequency for the data collection is
also defined in the annex. As this DDP is gender sensitive, sex disaggregated data collection and
compilation will be collected where appropriate to enhance gender equality assessment across all the
sectors. The monitoring and evaluation will be undertaken using tools recommended by the MoLGRD. The
Director of Planning and Development (DPD) through the M&E Office will be in charge of collecting and
analyzing data from all sectors. This will be done hand in hand with other district officials and professionals.
A sector focal point person will be in charge of data collection and progress monitoring at sector level.
Deliberate efforts will be made to utilize in the district’s monitoring and evaluation system other
stakeholders particularly the Non-Governmental Organizations which are active in the district. In liaison
with the District Monitoring and Evaluation Office, every development actor will ensure that activities in
the area of its operation are being implemented, monitored and evaluated accordingly. Quarterly and annual
meetings with the District Council will also be carried out to review the progress being made. Complete list
of M&E activities are indicated in table 18 below. To assess the district performance (impact) towards the
achievement of priorities outlined in this DDP, two evaluations will be conducted (mid and end of term
evaluations). In response to information requirements from all stakeholders- the district will also ensure
timely sharing of its reports and other key decisions to stakeholders through available channels including
community meetings, stakeholders meetings and official writing amongst others. The rationale of effective
information sharing is to enhance ownership of the projects, credibility of the district and a sense of
accountability to stakeholders.
79
CHAPTER SEVEN: CONCLUSION
The Zomba District Development Plan is a tool aimed at guiding planning, implementation and coordination
of development interventions in the district throughout the five year period from 2017 to 2022. Through a
highly participatory process involving communities and other development actors in Zomba District, the
following 11 development priority issues were identified: food and nutrition insecurity at household level;
loss of biodiversity and environmental degradation; high illiteracy rate; high maternal and infant mortality
rates; limited access to potable water and improved sanitation; poor transport and communication
infrastructure; high poverty levels; high incidences of gender based violations; high crime rate; weak
institutional capacity for effective decentralized service delivery; and poor development of trading (semi-
urban) centres. These will be at the centre of development programming in the district until the expiry of
this plan in 2022. The major causes of these development problems were carefully analysed and strategies
were developed to address the issues. Appropriate interventions, programmes and projects were therefore
developed to address these issues. Major projects in this plan include the following: Upgrading of Thondwe-
Mayaka-Jali Road to Bitumen Standard; Construction and Maintenance of Classrooms and Teachers House
for Primary Schools; School Feeding Programme; Construction and Rehabilitation of Irrigation Schemes;
Afforestation and Regeneration Programme; Upgrading of Domasi Community Hospital to a District
Hospital; Secondary Schools Construction; Construction and Rehabilitation of Council Offices; and Semi-
Urban Centres Development Programme. Successful implementation of all the proposed interventions,
programmes and projects is estimated to cost about MK 106 billion over the five year period. About 50
percent of this will come from locally generated resources and central government transfers while the rest
is expected to come from project donations, Non- governmental Organizations, donors and the private
sector.
In order to properly track implementation of the interventions, programmes and projects, the monitoring
and evaluation framework outline in this plan will be followed. All monitoring and evaluation will therefore
be guided by this framework. This is expected to generate necessary information to inform decision making
relating to the outlined interventions, programmes and projects.
