Women Councillors Caucus in Malawi has appealed for financial support from the government, saying it is failing to implement programs to empower women and girls due to resource constraints.
The Caucus says it does not want to turn to “foreign donors” for support because such “donors are unpredictable”.
Vice-chairperson, Esther Sagawa said this in Mangochi during a training workshop on gender responsive budgeting, which Malawi Local Government Association (Malga) organized for female councillors.
