Parents of Disabled Children in Malawi (PODCAM) External Mid Term Evaluation
PODCAM, a non-profit making organization evolved out of the need for parents of disabled children to represent and support the interests of children with disabilities at all levels. It was also formed to lobby the government and private sector on the aspirations of disabled children, create awareness about the plight of their children and to advocate for a favorable learning environment for children with disabilities. The partnership between PODCAM and NFU started in 2004 with a study that assessed the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of PODCAM. The assessment revealed the for capacity building to the organisation in order to become a stronger voice for children with disabilities. From 2005 it became an organisational development programme with funding from NORAD and Atlas Alliance, and this is the project that is being evaluated.
