Reading in between the lines, these allegations are being made from a disgruntled party. We all know that Global Fund gives more money to Malawi Government then ActionAid and World Vision. The funds for Mw Govt go to Ministry of health and is the biggest chunk of the funds. Then Civil society funds are channelled through World Vision and ActionAid. Critical to note that the calibre of organisations selected was very high above the reach of CEYE which were easily funded when they were under NAC but fell short of under the new criteria. I should say these guys need… Read more »

My fellow Malawians, if we take each and every observation and mix it with politics and religionalism we will not grow even after 100 years. Let’s review how the global funds is supposed to operate in countries and then make noise over that. It is our responsibility as citizens to provide checks and balances on these organizations bearing in mind that they receive these fund in the name of Malawians regardless of political affiliation. Relates action aid performance vs NAC performance and see who has been performing much better on the ground. The leaders, the funders, NGOs have taken advantage… Read more »

The issues raised by these NGOs are very genuine to say the truth. The only challenge is that the said concerned organizations have limited credibility as they are largely pro-government. Otherwise , issues of incompetence and fraud at Action Aid are real and not a surprise. Recently, some officers in the Finance department were fired on allegations of organised fraud. Again, I’m not very familiar with this Global fund mechanism, but id we wanted evidence on incompetence at Action Aid, one may not to go too far. Wee how the whole 50:50 Campaign has flopped under Action Aid. For me… Read more »

Why is Global Fund not complaining? I thought they do regular audit on the same? And reconciliations are done as well? These are financial issues, and are ACB better placed or there is need for external auditors to do the job.

Since this international organisation is being run by atumbuka, it is fine whether there is fraud or gross mismanagement or luck of capacity. Tumbukas don’t do no wrong, they are special people who should be treated like they just came from heaven last week

Nawenso Lucky nawe iwe!! Wasowatu ponyambita iwe!! Your arguments show you’ve no genuine evidence on the matter but sheer jealousy that Action Aid is implementing activities on the ground!! Lucky AAM won to be the recipient because they proved to be responsible than your organization[s]. Why did YECE fail? If International NGOs have capacity to implement why should they not be implementing the activities at local level? Mwasowa chonena anyamata inu……………………..!! Inuyo ndi amene mukufuna kuba ndalama za Global fund period!

Our government or parastatalls can’t manage any funds better. Dont let the thieves(Dpp) get more loot unless u are part of them. They need to get out first before any money can be trusted by malawi government. Ur duty as citizens on 19th May is to vote the thieves out first. Then u have a justifiable reason for the money to return back to NAC/government.
