From October 2016 through July 2017, UNICEF Malawi collaborated with a focus on 10 districts to support the revision of socio-economic profiles and district development plans (DDPs). This assignment involved facilitating sector planning for socio-economic profiles (SEPs) and DDPs, conducting situation analyses, and prioritizing critical issues. UNICEF aimed to enhance the district planning system as part of its efforts to improve the socio-economic development of these regions.

The second assignment involved a Corporate Culture Review during the same period, focusing on UNICEF's 10 districts of interest.
