We took part in the Post-2026 SONA Youth Webinar convened by the National Youth Council of Malawi , bringing together over 200 young people from across the country. The dialogue unpacked the 2026 State of the Nation Address delivered on 13 February by Arthur Peter Mutharika , helping youth clearly see where they fit within national priorities. Discussions highlighted practical entry points for young people, including access to the , where MK100 million of the MK5 billion per constituency has been earmarked for youth-related initiatives.

We encourage fellow young people to organize themselves, follow guidance from relevant line ministries, and proactively position themselves to benefit from these opportunities. But the conversation cannot stop here. The next crucial step is sustained youth engagement around the national budget to ensure SONA commitments are reflected in real allocations that deliver tangible impact for young people.

YASD proudly applauds the LOGIC Champions in GVH Chigonthi for taking a leading role in environmental restoration through the planting of at least 2,200 trees in their community. Over the past two years, YASD has equipped young people with green skills, including tree nursery establishment and management, with the Fundo Club actively participating in these trainings.

Today, we are witnessing the tangible impact of this investment. The youth are not only practicing agroforestry but are also actively restoring degraded and bare land, contributing to improved ecosystems, climate resilience, and sustainable livelihoods within the community. This milestone demonstrates the power of youth-led action in driving local solutions to climate change

Together we can green our environment, and restore the degraded land.

We are proud to share that our Logic Champions, Laurent Taferanji and Tadala Phiri, have been featured in The Daily Times for building youth-led green businesses that turn organic waste into fire briquettes.

As alumni of the Logic Project implemented by Youth Action for Success and Development (YASD) with support from IM Swedish Development Partners, their journeys show how practical skills, mentorship, and enterprise support can translate into jobs, clean energy, and environmental protection. This work directly advances Malawi 2063 and the First Malawi Implementation Plan (MIP I) priorities on human capital development, youth employment, SME growth, green industrialisation, and the circular economy, demonstrating how national aspirations can be realised through community-based and youth-driven solutions.

Today we stand with communities, partners and young people as we renew our commitment to an AIDS free future. Progress is real, but the gaps remain. We use this day to call for accessible testing, fair treatment, stronger data systems, and community voices at the center of the response. We choose innovation, resilience and protection for those most at risk. No one should be left behind.
