Overview:
United Voices for Global Impact (UVGI) was founded on the principle that creating a prosperous world for both present and future generations require the inclusion of all individuals, particularly those in underserved and marginalized communities. UVGI is dedicated to promote sustainable development goals as the pathway to a better future for all and it recognizes the critical need for empowering women and girls and active involvement of the youth to truly achieve sustainability and reach social equality.
In order to achieve its objectives and attain its vision UVGI is working on implementing programs and projects in Malawi, a country in Sub Saharan Africa. However, before implementing the programs and projects a community needs assessment was needed to identify gaps and inefficiencies in existing services so as to improve service delivery, understand community concerns in order to develop effective programs, and develop targeted interventions. The Community needs assessment exercise was conducted on 15th October, 2024 in Mtima Village in Tradition Authority Nkagula in Zomba District in Malawi.
In order to get first-hand information, the following methodologies of data collection were
used:
• Focus group discussion
• Observations
• Visits to individual homes
