This week, we say farewell to Alex Ssebukalu!

Alex joined UNDP Malawi as a Governance and Peacebuilding Intern, supporting our work to strengthen parliamentary oversight, natural resource governance, social cohesion and peacebuilding.

During his time with us, he contributed to resource mobilisation efforts around the peacebuilding work, supported partner engagement in parliamentary oversight and also brought valuable experience in governance research and policy advocacy from across Africa.

As Alex continues his Master’s in Peace, Conflict and Development at the University of Bradford as a Rotary Peace Fellow, we thank him for his contribution to our team and wish him every success in the journey ahead.

Thank you, Alex, and all the best for the future!

Every migrant worker deserves dignity, safety and equal protection of their rights.

Civil society organisations are meeting in Lilongwe to discuss the challenges faced by migrant workers and their families and help identify ways Malawi can better protect their rights.

From unfair recruitment and unsafe working conditions to difficulties accessing justice and essential services, the discussions are bringing experiences from communities to the table.

Nanise Saune-Qaloewai, UNDP Malawi Governance Portfolio Manager, said the process is about more than fulfilling international commitments.

It is about making sure the experiences and concerns of migrant workers and their families help shape the laws, policies and practices that affect their lives.

Victor Chagunyuka Mhango, Chairperson of the Civil Society Coalition on Migration and Executive Director of the Centre for Human Rights Education Advice and Assistance (CHREAA), called on participants to ensure that the voices and experiences of migrant workers remain at the centre of the discussions.

The workshop is convened by the Human Rights Defenders Coalition and Civil Society Coalition on Migration, bringing together civil society and United Nations Malawi partners.

UNDP's support forms part of its human rights programme for vulnerable populations in Malawi, with funding from the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Lilongwe, Malawi 🇳🇴 and Embassy of Iceland in Lilongwe 🇮🇸.

Peace is not built only through major agreements. It grows through the everyday actions of ordinary people.

In Mpondasi, Mangochi, community members are working with the police to mediate disputes, prevent violence and strengthen trust. People who once resorted to mob justice are increasingly choosing dialogue and allowing the law to take its course.

Their experience reminds us that investing in peace means supporting local leadership, cooperation and practical solutions that protect everyone.

On this International Day of Peace, we celebrate communities choosing peace, for everyone, everywhere, every day.

🕊️ Peace is everyone’s responsibility.

This International Day of Peace, we recognise the power of everyday actions and local efforts to build safer, more inclusive and peaceful communities.

Under the theme “Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day,” let us choose dialogue over division, cooperation over conflict, and inclusion over exclusion.

Because sustainable development depends on peace, and lasting peace starts with what each of us does every day. 💙🌍
