On October 29, 2024, I had the pleasure of participating as a speaker in the YouthConnekt Africa Summit virtual space discussion on “Digital Skills and Youth Innovation,” hosted by Youth Connekt Africa and co-hosted by UNDP Rwanda.
Addressing distinguished guests at the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco to Malawi on Africa Day 2024, Ms. Nthanda Manduwi emphasizes youth engagement and education to shape a prosperous future for Africa. She highlights the demographic advantages and challenges, advocating for digital literacy and entrepreneurial spirit. Her speech calls for a recommitment to youth empowerment and accountability to achieve the ambitious Agenda2063 and MW2063 vision for Africa and Malawi respectively.
On Friday, the 19th of April, Ms. Manduwi, with help from her incredible Kwathu Kollective brought together Malawi’s Diplomatic, Creative and Innovative industries, in support of the Ntha Foundation’s mission to support African creatives and innovators. We celebrated the “World Creativity and Innovation Day”. Here is the speech she delivered during the event.
In April, 2024, I had the immense honor of being invited by the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Malawi, Ms. Rebeccah Adda-Dontoh, to participate in the UN Country Team Annual Strategic Planning & Reflection Retreat. As one of three youth representatives, I joined this gathering alongside Mr. Williot Lumbe, Director of Programs at the National Youth Council, and Mr. Alpha Phiri, CEO and Founder of Value Loans Microfinance.
