Priority 6: Localisation Journey

Working towards moving more of the focus of decision making and service provision from Scotland to Malawi.

We recognise that this is a long term commitment and in the lifetime of this plan we will aim to achieve the following:

  1. Carry out an analysis of governance tasks
  2. Assess which tasks should be carried out in Malawi
  3. Identify people with leadership skills and commitment in Malawi
  4. Search for and appoint more Trustees in Malawi

This will enable us, in the more distant future, to work towards:-

  1. A gradual relinquishing of relevant decision making to Trustees in Malawi within the Malawian legal framework
  2. The setting up of a partner Board of Trustees in Malawi, working closely with us.
  3. Continue to raise funds in Scotland and offer advice and support within a partnership of equals.
