Ms Munkata explained in a statement made available by the council’s public relations officer, Gwendolyn Mwanza Mchenga that the aim of the project was to contribute to enhanced local governance for effective, efficient and inclusive service delivery.
“LGAZ with its partners CGLF and MLG is implementing its developmental projects with financial support from European Union and United Kingdom Department for International Development,” she said
