Quarterly District Stakeholders Coordination Meeting

On July 18, 2024, the Social Justice Foundation (SJF) convened a District Stakeholders Coordination Meeting in Mangochi as part of the ongoing implementation of the Human Rights Grant. The meeting brought together key stakeholders from government departments, civil society organizations, traditional and religious leadership, and representatives of the LGBTIQ+ community to strengthen coordination and collaboration around the protection and promotion of human rights. The discussions focused on improving referral pathways, enhancing service delivery for survivors of gender-based violence (GBV), and aligning efforts to address the human rights challenges facing marginalized groups in the district. Stakeholders also reviewed progress under the grant, shared insights on case handling, and identified opportunities for joint advocacy and capacity building. The meeting emphasized the importance of inclusive, community-led approaches to human rights and highlighted the collective responsibility of district actors in protecting vulnerable populations.
