As I prepare my keynote speech on “Digital Skills” to be delivered at the 7th Youth Connekt Summit in Rwanda, it is near impossible not to reflect on the stark differences between today’s educational tools and the resources I had access to during my undergraduate years in 2012. The world has changed. Should our education (systems) change?
In a recent engagement with the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority – discussing the Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship Bill, Ms. Manduwi emphasized Malawi’s lag in technological advancement despite alignment with national development plans. She highlighted the critical role of innovation hubs, the need for sustainable innovation management systems, and the importance of empowering entrepreneurs through effective public-private partnerships. She stressed on the urgency of shifting from policy formulation to impactful implementation for true digital transformation.
I was deeply honored to join a panel discussion with Zantchito Entrepreneurship Voices (ZEV), an initiative that is revolutionizing how entrepreneurship is understood, celebrated, and supported across Malawi.
About a year ago, I sat down with Podcast Malawi to have a chat about the past 10 years of my journey in the #DigitalMedia industry. We talked about any and everything — feminism, career, love, my participation in Miss Malawi, building my companies, my future plans, and more.
