These work with the support of CSOs, coordinating bodies, district and community structures.<\/p>\n<p>Kuphanga said the Ministry of Health, which is the C19RM Principal Recipient, subgranted ActionAid about $7.2 million (K7.2 billion), part of which the organization used to procure the PPEs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PPEs will go a long way in supporting our volunteers working at community level in HIV\/AIDS, TB and Malaria interventions.<\/p>\n<p>We will be working with our structures at community and district levels, which include Community Based Organizations, networks for TB, networks for people living with HIV\/AIDS and volunteers. These also support the structures of the Ministry of Health and those belonging to the sub-recipients.<\/p>\n<p>We will make sure that all these are part of the process of distribution of the PPEs so they are able to follow up if the equipment reaches the intended beneficiaries and are used for the intended purpose,\u201d Kuphanga said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kuphanga, ActionAid Malawi is targeting various populations with the PPEs, including, among others: female sex workers and men having sex with men.<\/p>\n<p>The five Sub Sub Recipients are: The creative Centre for Community Mobilization (CRECCOM), SRHR Africa (SAT), Family Planning Association of Malawi (FPAM), Malawi Network of People Living with HIV (MANET+) and the Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM).<\/p>\n<p>Country Director for SAT, Robert Phiri, commended ActionAid Malawi for the PPEs, saying they will help communities better respond to the Covid-19 pandemic and the impact it is having on the fight against other diseases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PPEs are crucial. Communities need to have the actual equipment they can use for prevention,\u201d Phiri said.<\/p>\n<p>Manager for Global Fund and GAVI project implementation unit in the Ministry of Health, Doreen Sanje, said her office expects that the items will reach the intended beneficiaries and used for the intended purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are grants managers for Global Fund and GAVI resources. The K7.2 billion we sub granted ActionAid is from the $109 million (K109 billion) which Malawi received in 2020 for the support of various Covid-19 interventions. We need to properly manage these resources in order to reach out to as many communities as possible,\u201d Sanje said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
