Partnership
We believe in the old adage, “United we Stand, Divided
we Fall.” One of the Cridoc’s major focuses is NGO
Networking within Malawi and facilitating for possible linkages
between local NGOs and those around the word. We believe that
most of the problems affecting children in Malawi can effectively
be dealt with only if there is effective coordination among NGOs
and all other stakeholders.
Effective Networking entails not only sharing of ideas and experiences
among all the stakeholders, but also being able to share some
of the most basic and important resources required to fulfil our
shared goals. We at Cridoc are ready to share such resources with
all other stakeholders working for the good of children.
If you are interested to be part of this burgeoning network,
you can partner with us either by using a partnership form or
by writing to us through the e-mail below. Note however that becoming
our partner is different from becoming our “Institutional
Member.” If you become an institutional member, it means
you have a relatively unlimited access to all of our limited Cridoc
resources (in this case, the Information Centre), which practically
cannot cater for everybody for free, although we would love to
share each and every single resource at no cost.
So far, Cridoc has teamed up with a number of web-based similar
projects in Malawi in its efforts of achieving its goals and objectives.
Here are just some of them:
