·       Programme locations

Chiwambo Village, GvH Ngozo, Malawi (207 HH)

Many villages face poverty, and we have already done a project in the area but want to expand.

·       Expected partners

Gift of The Givers (Malawi office), Department of Agriculture (they monitor the project after implementation), the local benificiaries (villagers and village chief)

·       'Development issue' (main area of concern)

A lot of the land in the area is not suitable for farming, and weather patterns pose a challenge. E.g. the local usually eat maze, but can’t grow maze-crops in that specific area.

·       People affected

Whole village and surrounding villages face extreme level of poverty, education, and basic access to water, nutrition etc.

·       Sectors involved

Food security, education, agriculture

Thank you for posting your initial thoughts about a project. Looks clear to me.
When describing the development issue (the main area of concern) you have written several sentences, but could try to narrow this down to a short sentence. For instance: "weather patterns make villagers face extreme leve of poverty". The development issue will be your starting point for doing further analysis.

You can also consider shortening the sentence even further to 'villagers face extreme levels of poverty'. The weather patterns might be seen as a cause, which we will dive further into later today.

We can rephrase the Development Issue to " Chronic food insecurity and poverty among the population of Chiwambo Village in GVH Ngozo, Malawi".

That'd be good. You can consider if food insecurity and poverty should both be there or if one is the cause of the other. Maybe have that in the back of your head during today's session.

Great, will keep that in mind and hopefully have clarity after today's session. Thank you!
