NAYORG Launches CARE Project in Balaka District
On Tuesday, 14 July 2026, Nkhadze Alive Youth Organization engaged Youth Technical Working Group in Balaka to officially launch the Civic Action for Rights through Engagement (CARE) Project, targeting youths, women, persons with disabilities, local communities, duty bearers and other marginalized groups in Traditional Authorities Phalula and Msamala in Balaka District.
The project's goal is to strengthen the capacity of youth-led and community-based civic actors in Balaka District to safely monitor, influence, and expand civic space through evidence-based action.
Speaking during the launch at Positive Steps in Balaka, Assistant District Youth Officer for Balaka District, Emmanuel Devele, welcomed the project, noting that it will help amplify youth participation and strengthen civic space across the district.
The project will be implemented over a four-month period (July-October) with financial support amounting to €17,000 from Hivos and Government of Ireland under the four year program, popularly called: Connect, Defend and Act (CDA) Programme (2025–2029).
