I am director of Kachira Youth Initiative a non governmental organisation based in the northern district of karonga in Malawi. We are interested to submit our Expression of Interest on this project. We would like, however, to know whether this project can be implemented in our district since in the project portal there are only two districts from the southern region which are shown (Zomba and Machinga).
We would like to be assisted on this issue as soon as possible.
Thank you.
