Four (11) District DDFs established in SH
Rungwe D – DDF - Mwalusamba
Mbozi D - DDF
Mufindi D - DDF

12. Southern Highlands DDF
National DDF
Plan
12 DDFs to hold at least 2 meetings between June and May 2017
3 regional DDFs to be established by Dec 2016
Zonal DDF to be established by May (if need be)
Cascade DDF down to group level (PMC through SCD structure) structure)
Southern Highlands DDF R D D F D I S T R I C T D D F

13. Conclusion DDFs plays vital roles
However, DDF should be efficient, effective and fully functioning
Efficient = modest cost/ least cost = spirit
Effective = respond to genuine current needs
Fully functioning = appropriate structure, relaying info (horizontally and vertically)
DDF is the mouth-piece of the stakeholders which should spat wisdom to inform decision(s)
