The NLGFC Board (the Committee) has expressed satisfaction with council projects under the Performance-Based Grants (PBG) of the Governance to Enable Service Delivery Project.
The Committee's chairperson Commissioner Richard Chapweteka said the projects were impressive in most districts while there was room for improvement in a few other areas.
'In overall, the councils are doing well however there is room to improve on project selection for the success of the project. We need projects that will benefit the entire district', said Chapweteka.
He was speaking after completing the monitoring tour of the projects in the districts of Chitipa, Karonga, Rumphi and Mzimba.
The board monitored project progress such as a hostel at Misuku secondary school in Chitipa, a police Post at Livingstonia in Rumphi, a guest house in Karonga and a water project in Mzimba.
The backstopping tour provides councils with feedback and checks on implementation progress, and the quality of infrastructural projects being implemented. The tour also provides the NLGFC with feedback from beneficiaries and citizens on the projects.
The PBG - GESD project is a $100million dollar, 5 year Government of Malawi World Bank funded Project facilitated by the National Local Government Finance Committee (NLGFC).
