DEM calls for intensive SIG monitoring

Dowa District Acting Education DEM Manager Josephy Chafukira has asked members of Education Service Committee to lead in monitoring School Improvement Grant SIG.

Chafukira said intensive monitoring of the Grant will ensure that resources which schools receive from development partners are used properly.

Speaking during a committee meeting he said payment of SIG phase 1 was done in 12 zones hence remaining with 8 which will be paid in the next funding.

“We have also managed to pay Zonal Improvement Grant (ZIG) worth K500, 000 for smooth running of Teacher Development Centres in the district,” said Chafukira

He said Nagwira primary school did not receive SIG due to the wrong account number which was submitted to the office.
