GWANDA Municipality has crafted a donation policy to govern how donations will be administered, ensuring transparency and accountability.
In an interview, Gwanda Municipality Alderman Thulani Moyo said transparency will help boost donors’ confidence.
As part of efforts to bring much-needed development to the town, the municipality has engaged development partners and well-wishers under its private-public partnership approach.
“As a municipality, we have deliberately strengthened our private-public partnership to incorporate more partners into our development agenda. There is a lot that needs to be done in terms of service delivery.
“We also have key institutions that need attention, such as the hospital. We have engaged the business community, which has shown eagerness in improving our town through donations. We also have vulnerable people in our community. As part of the engagement process, we have crafted a donation policy to ensure that donations are handled transparently,” he said.
Alderman Moyo said the donation policy will clearly define how donations are received, stored, and handled. He added that each donation will be recorded and signed for.
He called on various stakeholders to take part in this noble cause of assisting in the town’s development where needed.
