Development Diaries gathered that Programme Director, Edward Thole, said that there was a need for more information about the pandemic.

He said, ‘This is a two-month project which solely focuses on social and behaviour change. We plan to increase community understanding and knowledge about the pandemic and urge them to continue adhering to preventive measures’.

Thole added that they will conduct roadshows, produce and air radio programmes and carry out door-to-door awareness activities.

The Director of Planning and Development at Zomba District Council, Walter Chikuni, said that the project was timely as community members needed to learn ways of preventing the pandemic.
