After presenting, they invited participants to feedback on how feasible and relevant they felt this new strategy was. One of our District officials stood up and shared his views on what he thought should be done. These included:
- "You should launch a 'Keep Your Homes Clean' competition. Local people could be encouraged to keep their homes clean and you could give a prize to the best one."
- "You should send experts to sit with us at a District level otherwise we will misspend the money you give us."
Meanwhile, another District official sat next to me, spent most of the meeting reading his paper. After a while I asked him why he was there. He replied, "UNICEF have organised this meeting to explain their plans". I said, "I know, but why are you here, you are reading the newspaper." "Ahhh", he responded, "No one can concentrate 100% of the time".
UNICEF's new strategy includes channelling more of their funding through local government.
