Malawi government in the achievement of critical development goals present in
the Malawi 2063 agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The

Abwenzi A Ana is a program designed to ensure Children in Ntcheu, particularly


girls affected by inequality and discrimination are protected from sexual violence

root causes of abuse. Child, family, community, institutions and policy will be
targeted if meaningful transformational change among children is to happen. To
that end, we seek to recruit livelihood field officer with the following specific
