Malawi Cross-Party Group Meeting
At this meeting we heard from some of the team members behind the Chitetezo project including:
Prof. Liz Grant, University of Edinburgh
Prof. Edward Duncan, University of Stirling
Lusizi Kambalame, Malawi University of Business and Applied Science (MUBAS)
Dr. Jen Dickie, University of Stirling
Chitetezo is a multifaceted, arts-mediated, rights-based advocacy intervention designed to decrease the frequency of road traffic collisions.
It is founded on evidence from three previously unconnected areas: rights-based youth work, road safety education, and intergenerational approaches to co-producing local development. There are good theoretical grounds for taking an intergenerational approach to learning and education in the co-production of community-based solutions. The research seeks to draw on young people’s own expertise to co-produce solutions to road safety.
This research is jointly funded by the UK Medical Research Council (MRC) and the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) under the MRC/FCDO Concordat agreement, together with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
