Growing Together: Multisectoral Investments in Malawi’s Youth

In Malawi, strategic and multisectoral investments in youth are critical pieces of national growth and development. Working with a multisectoral taskforce chaired by the Ministry of Health, HP+ developed a multimedia presentation that describes the necessary investments in young people’s health, education, employment opportunities, and participation in governance that can create a window of opportunity for accelerated economic development. The goal is to build awareness of the overlapping needs and priorities of multiple sectors and increase support for cross-sectoral investments in Malawi’s young people. The presentation incorporates interviews with youth, up-to-date research, and policy recommendations. Target audiences include national and subnational government policymakers; health, education, employment, and youth sector leaders; program officials; journalists; and others.
