Cashgate Scandal Malawi: Dots And Lines Can Make Garments That Suit The Wearer

Cashgate Scandal Malawi product is developed according to a planned layout that should result in a functional and aesthetically pleasing outcome. When a designer works on a design for a garment, thought has to be given to make the garment appeal to the target client. It is essential for the designer to keep in mind the psychographics and demographics of the wearer.

So when a motif, design or silhouette is visualised as a component of the final garment, the aim must be to give the wearer a well-composed and suitable appearance by experimenting with various elements and principles of design.

The elements of design are the building blocks of any design. Compiled skilfully, they create effective visual communication.


The elements of design discussed are:

-->         Dot/Point

-->         Various styles of lines

Dot/Point

-->         A dot is the basic element of design.

-->         It is the smallest and the simplest unit suggesting its presence.

-->         Dots are the building blocks of everything else in a design.

-->         The size of dots in a design is not related to any kind of illusion of height or length in any garment.

-->         Larger dots create an illusion of increased surface area, making the wearer appear to be wide. So, larger dots are suitable for slim people and inappropriate for those with a heavy body type.

-->         Small dots look best on people with a wide and heavy body structure as the dots have a smaller surface area and create an illusion of slimness. They have the added advantage of looking good even on slim people.

Line

A line is a versatile mode of expression. Its various qualities evoke different feelings and each type has distinguished significance.

RMOS complaint Malawi’s Economic Growth Projected at 6.1 per cent in 2014 following Joyce Banda’s Administration Erp Significant Progress

President Joyce Banda continues to shine in her initiatives to develop Malawi and make it a better place. Much as she inherited a sick economy from Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), her adminstration has gotten manifestation of its clue to revamp the economy.
Malawi Government says it expects the country’s economy to grow by 6.1 per cent this year, following significant progress of programmes under the Economic Recovery Plan (ERP).
Minister of Economic Planning and Development, Ralph Jooma, on Thursday told journalists in Mzuzu during a press briefing by the cabinet committee on ERP, that there is significant progress of Malawi’s economy following the implementation of ERP.
He said in 2013, Malawi’s economy grew by 5.4 per cent as compared to 1.8 per cent growth in 2012.
“[This] means the 5.4 per cent significant growth rate has actually been achieved because of what we are doing. It is not being achieved by accident.
“It is being achieved following the programmes that we put in place following the ERP. We are expecting that in 2014, our economy will grow by 6.1 per cent,” said Jooma, who chairs the committee.
He was franked by Minister of Information Brown Mpingajira, Minister of Tourism and Culture Moses Kunkuyu, Deputy Minister of Finance Dr. Cornelius Mwalwanda and Energy and Mining Minister John Bande, among others.
Jooma also informed the journalists that the country’s inflation rate is not “very bad”.
“Inflation at the end of December was 23 per cent. This is also a… decline because in April 2013, inflation was at 34 per cent,” he explained.
Jooma partly attributed the decrease in inflation to availability of plenty food in the country despite the current lean period.


“We are at the peak of the lean period but you can see that we have managed to address the challenges of hunger that we expected in this country,” he said.
The minister added that government has managed to address the challenge of shortage of foreign currency that some quarters expected following the withholding of foreign budgetary support.
“We can report out that we are now standing at 2.1 month of import cover which is close to US$400 million in forex reserve even at this lean period,” Jooma said.
He further disclosed that production by Malawi’s companies has improved. He said before the ERP, production was at 30 per cent but now it is over 70 per cent.
“That reflects the fact that the means of production such as raw materials, fuel and everything else that they [companies] need, and most of them are imported things, are available,” the minister said.
Before the current regime of President Joyce Banda assumed power, Malawi was in economic crisis characterised by shortage of foreign currency and scarcity of fuel among other challenges.
Therefore, the new government formulated the ERP which outlined short-term and mid-term to long-term solutions to the challenges.
Some of the solutions included the devaluation of the local currency, softening of punitive tax collection laws, and raising of interest rates.
The ERP also has short and mid-term to long-term programmes and projects selected in five key sectors of the economy which include Agriculture, Tourism, Mining, Infrastructure Development and Energy.
Jooma said the first three sectors were selected because of their ability to generate foreign currency and create employment while the last two were selected to address the constraints that had been there all along in the Malawi’s economy.
“A lot of work is being done in that this economy is on a positive trajectory. The economy has actually recovered,” he said, adding that the country has managed to spend three months now without donor support.
“We should be heading for a better future of this country,” Jooma said.

Malawi Uses Mobile Phones to Promote Maternal Health reported by Cecilia Kumpukwe Banda


BLANTYRE — Malawian mothers and guardians of young children who live in villages far from health facilities are heaving a sigh of relief, after the introduction of a hotline through which they can access medical advice. VillageReach, a non-profit NGO, is running a program called Chipatala Cha Pa Foni which means Health Center by Phone. 

Malawi has some of the highest mother and child mortality rates in the world.  The maternal mortality ratio is at 675 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, while the under-five mortality rate is 112 deaths per 1,000 births.





The figures are largely attributed to limited availability of timely and reliable health information for women of childbearing age, and a lack of access to health care for villagers due to long distances.

VillageReach officials say the phone program, which is currently run in the districts of Balaka, Mulanje, Nkhota-kota and Ntcheu, aims to bridge this information gap.

“This is a toll-free case management hotline, which means people can call free from any Airtel [mobile phone service provider] phone and can ask their questions concerning any health issues," explained Zachariah Jezman, the program manager.  "And apart from that component, we have also a reminder and tips service.  In addition to that we have protocol approved messages, which are either posted to clients who have personal phone or which can be retrieved by a client without a phone by using any Airtel phone.”

According to Jezman, two complementary services extend the health centers' reach by providing Malawians with access to accurate health information.

He said the clients are handled by hotline workers who are trained personnel in maternal, newborn, and children's health.  The workers use a simple touch-screen device that records data electronically for monitoring and evaluation purposes.  They are supervised by trained nurses for quality assurance.

Balaka Center hotline nurse supervisor Novice Gauti tells VOA the center receives between 25 and 30 calls each day from mothers and guardians who seek medical advice.

Gauti said along with providing crucial help for people in remote villages, Chipatala Cha pa Foni has helped reduce queues in the health facilities.

“Now the queues at the hospitals are very small compared to the time when there was no Chipatala cha pa Foni, because the mothers were just rushing to the hospital with minor problems," she noted. " But now when they have minor problems or discomfort they can easily and comfortably call us from their home and seek medical advice or medical care.”

The program has faced challenges, too.  Jezman cites health facilities' failure to meet the demand for services.

“I can give you an example when there was national stock-out of iron tablets for maybe six weeks.  Our system was pushing the message that ‘If you are in the second trimester you need to start taking iron tablets’.  And the clients were going to health centers demanding iron tablets while the health system did not have that,” Jezman recalled.

He said another challenge is that Chipatala Cha pa Foni encourages pregnant mothers to start doctor visits in the first trimester, but most health centers in Malawi do not have pregnancy test kits and instead rely on palpation, which sometimes is not 100 percent correct for pregnancy tests.

Nevertheless, VillageReach is pleased with the program's results.  The organization's country director, Jessica Crawford, told VOA that VillageReach is working on a strategy to scale up the program to other areas so it can benefit more people across Malawi.

New Malawi power plant opens reportde by Cecilia Kumpukwe Banda


Blantyre - Malawi President Joyce Banda on Friday opened a new hydro-electric plant, which the government hopes will curb blackouts and sate a growing appetite for energy in the East African country.

The 55-million-dollar Kapichira II plant in the southern district of Chikhwawa increases adds 64 to 351 megawatts to the national grid, against a forecast peak demand of 350 megawatts.





Kapichira II was expected to help meet industrial demand for electricity and to help connect 21 rural centres across the country to the power grid.

By next year, demand is expected to reach 571 megawatts.

Blackouts are so frequent that national energy corporation Escom was forced to change its slogan from “Power all day, every day” to “Towards power every day.”

Escom's generation capacity suffers from ageing equipment and siltation in Shire River, where the major hydro-electric power stations are located.

The Malawi Confederation of Chambers of Industry says power cuts have affected the competitiveness of the private sector. The MCCI also complains that power is becoming expensive.

If the government allows Escom to go ahead with plans of raising tariffs, Malawi's average electricity tariff would become the highest in the region.

The Kapichira II is part of government plans to add more than 1 000 megawatts to the power grid. The plans also include an interconnector project with neighbouring Mozambique.

Malawi: Journalists Should Target Election Issues, Not Personalities reported by Cecilia Kumpukwe Banda


Blantyre — Political reporters are learning how to focus their coverage of Malawi's next national elections on issues of health, schools and roads that will affect voters in the rural areas of the country.

Experienced journalists conducted a series of sessions on how to have more impact in their reporting of the coming political campaigns that will select the next president and members of parliament in elections scheduled for May, 2014.



Two workshops have been run by the Institute on War and Peace Reporting and are funded by the National Democratic Institute. A third will he held in April.

"I am sharing ideas on how we can make reporting of elections look more on real issues that affect voters, more in particular rural voters," said Ivon Gaber, a journalism trainer from the journalism department at City University in London.

Gaber wants journalists to concentrate "... on issues of health, education, transport as well as doing the normal political stuff." He wants to give them ideas, tips and exercises and "to make the coverage of elections more relevant to Malawian voters."

Critics say report on issues

Malawi journalists have at times been accused of focusing their reporting on personalities rather than issues affecting members of the general public. Observers say the tendency reaches higher levels during an election campaign when most journalists fall prey to politicians who give out freebies to advance their political interests.

Cheu Mita is the War and Peace Reporting program manager in Malawi. "What prompted us to do this [training] is that in the past, election coverage has mainly being on people or the political horse races," she said.

"We want to change that mindset," she said. People shouldn't vote on political or regional lines. " .... we want them to vote for people who they feel will be able to bring them development." This can only be achieved if journalists base their reporting on issues affecting the electorate rather than promoting personalities.

The language of political reporting

Rhodes Msonkho, a senior political reporter for privately owned Capital Radio, describes the workshops as an eye opener. "We have seen that in previous elections there were some [misleading] words which were used in our reporting."
