| Overview : The Malawi Human Support Project is being implemented within the context of operationalising the Democratic Governance sector strategy. It is supporting national efforts to strengthen mechanisms and institutions to promote norms and good practices and foster stronger democratic accountability in keeping with the objectives of the MGDS II. It represents a concrete response by the UN System to Malawi to embed democratic governance through respect for the principles and practices of Human Rights as entrenched in the Constitution of Malawi and in international and regional Rights instruments. It is an integral cross-cutting aspect in the promotion of gender equality, and strengthening of the capacity of key State and Non-State Actors (government departments, CSOs, NGOs and CBOs) in Human Rights and in enhancing their engagement with the state party reporting and Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process. |
