Lilongwe, July 18, Mana: Chairperson of the Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC), Chikondi ChijoziĀ  has disclosed that the MHRC aims to promote and protect human rights with a more results-oriented approach to investigations.

In an interview on Wednesday in Lilongwe, she revealed that the Commission plans to lobby for K 8 billion to implement their strategic plan.

ā€œCurrently, as a Commission, we are underfunded. We are receiving less than 35% of the funding we project as necessary to fulfill our mandate,ā€ Chinjoti said.

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative, Azhar Malik noted that this launch marks a significant milestone for the country’s key national human rights institution.

ā€œWithin this framework, the UNDP has partnered with the MHRC to strengthen its institutional capacity to respond to human rights violations and protect Malawians from impunity,ā€ he said.

Chairperson of Parliamentary Legal Committee, Peter Dima emphasized that the strategic plan would provide essential guidance for the MHRC’s work.
