“Currently, as a Commission, we are underfunded. We are receiving less than 35% of the funding we project as necessary to fulfill our mandate,” Chijozi said.
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative, Azhar Malik noted that this launch marks a significant milestone for the country’s key national human rights institution.
“Within this framework, the UNDP has partnered with the MHRC to strengthen its institutional capacity to respond to human rights violations and protect Malawians from impunity,” he said.
Chairperson of Parliamentary Legal Committee, Peter Dimba emphasized that the strategic plan would provide essential guidance for the MHRC’s work.
