Nkhata Bay, August 24, Mana: Dowa District Council has described peer to peer learning visits as a significant tool in ironing out problems councils encounter in executing their duties.

Dowa District Council Revenue Collection Supervisor, Alexander Andersen Chigalu said this on Wednesday when a delegation from Dowa District Council paid a peer to peer learning visit to Nkhata Bay District Council aimed at sharing knowledge and experiences on revenue collection and management.

Chigalu said Nkhata Bay is among the councils performing well in a number of developments hence the team decided to learn from them.

“Much as we are also doing well in other developmental areas, we thought it wise to learn new ideas from our counterpart. We believe we will improve our performance with the knowledge learned from the council,” he said.

Market Supervisor for Nkhata Bay District Council, Malumbo Mkandawire said the council also benefited from Dowa council’s visit.

“It is inspiring to see how our friends are managing and interacting with the vending community in a big business center like Dzaleka and managing revenue collection,” he said.

Nkhata Bay District Commissioner (DC), Rodgers Newa said the visit by Dowa District Council which came barely weeks after the district also hosted a delegation from Chitipa council is a sign that Nkhatabay is striving well in development.
