Speaking during an orientation training for local structures in Karonga over the weekend, EAM Project Coordinator responsible for Gender-Based Violence Dumisani Nungu said the revamping of the community structures is aimed at bridging capacity gaps existing among local-based structures in the execution of their duties.

 

Meanwhile, cases of child marriages have reached alarming levels in Karonga as a 14-year-old girl is reported to have been married off to a 15-year-old boy in Lupembe.
