 Efficiency of Project and Levels of Implementation
By the month of July IPI has identified 24 Umunthu Ambassadors from six Traditional Authorities in Phalombe namely T/A Jenala, Nazombe, Chiwalo, Kaduya, Mkhumba and Nkhulambe. So far preparations for training has been done and the venue has been identified. The selection of the ambassadors was witnessed by the Group Village Headmen and in some cases the T/As were available just to see that those who are heavily committed in other committees should not deprive those who are active but not in any committee. Out of the 24 selected Umunthu Ambassadors, 8 are women.
