Development from People to People (DAPP) Malawi is a local NGO that has worked in Malawi since 1995. DAPP Malawi is a national member of the Federation Humana People to People, a network of 30 organisations engaged in international solidarity, cooperation and development in Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe.

The objective of DAPP Malawi is to promote social and economic development. Through a variety of development models, DAPP complements the government’s effort in implementing the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy. The people engaged in the development initiatives of DAPP Malawi are trained and equipped with tools and knowledge enabling them to transform their dreams and wishes for a better life into practical actions.

Presently, the DAPP projects are focused on four of the pressing development issues in Malawi:

• Increasing access to inclusive quality education
• Improving food-security and economic growth through Climate Smart Agriculture among small holder farmers
• Improving children’s conditions
• Combating HIV & AIDS, TB, Malaria, Malnutrition and Pandemics

DAPP is in its 25th year of creating long-term development in the country. Since its inception in 1995, DAPP has built up a sound institutional capacity and an impressive track record with the people of Malawi.
The projects are carried out in close partnership with the National Government, local and district authorities and a range of national as well as international partners.

Mission

Vision:

DAPP Malawi envisions a society in which communities are sustainable and have improved quality of life


Mission Statement:

To work with the communities in Malawi by promoting social and economic development through health, education & training, food security, fund raising and environmental programs.

The above vision is based on the Solidarity Humanism to radiate actions aimed at creating favourable conditions for men and women, particularly the poorest, to actively participate in overcoming the current constraints regarding access to education, health and participation in the economy.

In its mission, DAPP Malawi has prioritized its activities in rural areas, where the majority of the population is concentrated and where the business base for developing the economy is located, thus reducing poverty to ensure food security for all as this achievement in the rural areas is essential for active and healthy lifestyles throughout the country
