Cookhouse and Msenge Wind Farms Economic Development Alignment Survey

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this Community Needs Assessment Survey for the Cookhouse and Msenge Wind Farms, powered by Anthem.


The purpose of this survey is to participatively better understand the needs and priorities of communities within the project areas across key development sectors such as education, health, skills development, youth development, agriculture, sports, arts and culture, and support for vulnerable groups.


The information collected will help to:

  • 1. Identify the most important socio-economic needs within the community.

  • 2. Assess whether current initiatives implemented by Cookhouse and Msenge Wind Farms align with community priorities.

  • 3. Identify gaps where additional support or new programmes may be required.

  • 4. Explore opportunities to strengthen community participation and local economic development.


The insights gathered will help guide future Socio-Economic Development and Enterprise and Supplier Development initiatives to ensure that programmes are responsive, impactful, and aligned with community needs.


All responses will be treated confidentially and used solely to inform community development planning.


Thank you for contributing to this important process.
