| Case: Malawi - 9 ACP RPR 49/29: Msamala Sustainable Energy Project |
| In this project Concern Universal uses the REFLECT model for participatory development. This development approach is used to empower the community. The project trains community REFLECT facilitators in participatory approaches. They assist the community in developing a problem analysis and in identifying what actions should be taken. The identified solutions lead to the development of micro projects. Some of these projects can be carried out by the community without support. Other calls for external assistance. Concern Universal assists the community in implementing the micro projects such as development of participatory forest management plans and local tree planting to overcome a problem of deforestation. |
The project was managed by Blessings Kambombo from Concern Universal.
