Creative Centre for Community Mobilisation (CRECCOM)
- I Implementer
Description
CRECCOM is a local Malawian NGO based in Zomba City in the Southern Region of Malawi. We have over 20 years of experience in social empowerment and community mobilization on a variety of issues. It was out of the USAID funded projects GABLE SMC that ran 1994 to 1998 and the pilot phase of the Social Mobilization Campaign for Educational Quality (SMC EQ Project) that ran up to 1999 that the organization was created. These project were contracted to a Washington DC-based company called the Creative Associates International Incorporated but were implemented in Malawi by the same staff that now form CRECCOM.
Having seen the achievements of these two projects, it was decided that the implementation methods that had been used could be built upon and used in more projects. On the 4th of April 1999 CRECCOM was registered with the Government of Malawi under the Trustees Incorporation Act 5:03. The organization is also registered with the Council of Non-Governmental Organizations of Malawi (CONGOMA) as well as the NGO Board of Malawi. The official launch of the NGO was done on November 17, 1999, at Naliswe Primary School in Balaka.
