What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

Malawi's government is using the Constituency Development Fund to increase funding for district councils and capital city projects. The Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development stated that the reformed CDF is progressing well, though it requires extensive planning before construction. Separately, a substandard girls’ hostel constructed under the CDF in Mzimba was ordered demolished due to poor construction standards.
