Development worker experiences
Interesting blogs, stories and experiences by our development workers.
Progressio development workers are experienced and professionally qualified specialists who offer skills, expertise and knowledge that is not available locally. The key role of our development workers is to transfer their skills and knowledge to our partner organisations. Together with the partner organisations, they work alongside local people, supporting them to find solutions to the problems they face.

Personal experience: Mandlenkosi Mpofu
Mandlenkosi is from Zimbabwe and is currently working as an Electoral Support Adviser with the Catholic Commission for Justice & Peace (CCJP) in the Diocese of Lilongwe, Malawi.
How would you describe yourself?
I am a positive person and always take the bad things that come my way in my stride and try to use the experience to do better in future. I am also always willing to learn new things, especially concerning my work and my career. I am therefore my biggest critic and I try to evaluate myself all the time.
