GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND ORGANISATION

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

TLC’s Board of Directors comprises individuals nominated based on their integrity, commitment, background, and technical expertise. Working closely with the Founders and Directors of TLC, the overarching role of the Board is to provide oversight to ensure efficiency and effectiveness of program delivery, as well as compliance with TLC’s regulatory, policy and legal framework related to administrative, personnel, fiscal and programmatic responsibilities under the laws of the country. The Board also provides leadership, strategic guidance, and advice to the organization in terms of its portfolio of projects and funding sources, with emphasis on TLC’s mission, goals, values, and technical strengths. The key aim is to maintain TLC’s core focus to avoid risks of being drawn into programs that could compromise its mission and values.

OUR EXTENSION APPROACH

To break the cycle of food insecurity and poverty in Malawi, there is need for a shift in the way the country addresses vulnerability and risk. More investments are need that put households on a more sustainable path by strengthening their resilience to seasonal predictable shocks, and extreme shocks such as drought and floods, which are expected to increase owing to climate change. Most interventions to address these challenges are not new per se, rather what should change is the approach. Past and current TLC programs have demonstrated some of the best practices that build community resilience. TLC will draw lessons from these past interventions and the need for a multi-dimensional approach to address food and nutrition insecurity, diversified and climate-smart agricultural growth, disaster risk reduction, flood control, early warning systems, environmental management, nutrition, including water and sanitation and hygiene (WASH).
