UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency UNFPA also participates in the Sector Wide Approaches (SWAps) on Health, Gender and Youth.

UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, delivers a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every birth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled. The Country Office in Malawi consists of a Representative, a Deputy Representative, an Assistant Representative, an Operations Manager, 7 National Program Officers and support staff. The UNFPA Country Program (CP) in Malawi is implemented in accordance with UNFPA policies and procedures, and through government, and civil society partners. UNFPA and the Government of Malawi developed joint programs with the United Nations and other development partners in the areas of HIV prevention, response to gender-based violence and data management and utilization and the implementation of the road map on maternal and neonatal mortality reduction. The actual programme areas include:
Sexual and reproductive health (including family planning, maternal health and HIV). Priority on adolescents, especially on very young adolescent girls and boys, particularly increased availability of comprehensive sexuality education and sexual and reproductive health services. Gender equality, women’s and girls’ empowerment, and reproductive rights, including for the most vulnerable and marginalized women, adolescents and youth. Integration of evidence-based analysis on population dynamics and their links to sustainable development, sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, HIV and gender equality. The 7th CP was implemented using a results-based planning, monitoring and evaluation approach. A monitoring and evaluation framework is implemented for timely performance assessment, and an end of program evaluation to assess the achievements of the program, and to inform the development of the next country program.

International music star 𝗧𝗶𝘄𝗮 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗴𝗲 is in Malawi with the UN Spotlight Initiative, lending her voice to efforts to end violence against women and girls.

Her visit brings renewed attention to the work being done across Malawi to prevent gender-based violence, support survivors and challenge the harmful norms that allow violence to persist.

But ending violence against women and girls cannot be left to one organisation, one community or one group. 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.

Together, we can create communities where women and girls are safe, respected and able to live free from violence.

When Cyclone Freddy struck Malawi in March 2023, thousands of people were displaced, and many communities were cut off from essential services.

For women and adolescent girls, the disruption also meant reduced access to sexual and reproductive health services, information and contraception.

But even in the midst of the crisis, people stepped forward to keep communities connected to care.

In Mulanje, Community-Based Distribution Agent (CBDA) Chenjerani Frogi walked to 15 camps to reach young people with essential sexual and reproductive health information and commodities, including contraceptives.

“Roads and bridges were destroyed, so many communities were cut off. I walked to 15 camps because young people still needed services and information. At a time when so many people were distressed, I felt I had to be there for them.”

Frogi was among the CBDAs trained through the UNFPA-supported Joint UN 2gether4SRH programme in Mulanje and Mangochi funded by Sweden.

During and after Cyclone Freddy, these community-based providers played a vital role in ensuring that young people could access sexual and reproductive health services in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental way.

Sometimes, resilience looks like simply refusing to let a crisis become a barrier to care.

Carrying the pressure of job searches, family expectations, financial stress, and uncertainty can get heavy.

In our communities, mental health isn't talked about enough, leaving many young people to struggle in silence.

Your feelings are real, and asking for support or taking a break is a sign of strength, not weakness.

What is one practice or hobby that helps you protect your peace when life feels overwhelming?

Young people face real challenges. But they also hold enormous potential.

In this video, Wanangwa Rachel Mganga, Programme Analyst – Youth, Innovation & Climate Change, reflects on the challenges young people navigate—and the opportunities that can help them build better futures.

She is joined by Dr Sabrina Pestilli, Deputy Representative, OIC, UNFPA Malawi, who speaks about the power of partnerships in creating meaningful spaces and opportunities for young people.

As UNFPA supports the 2026 National Youth Summit, one message is clear: creating opportunities for young people requires all of us to work together.

🎥 Watch the full message and hear why investing in young people means investing in a better future.

You cannot plan your career, finish your education, or reach your dreams if you don't have control over your own body and health.

Access to friendly, confidential, and judgment-free sexual and reproductive health information and services is not optional—it is the foundation of every young person's future.

When young people are empowered with health knowledge, they make choices that shape a brighter tomorrow.

What makes a health facility truly 'youth-friendly' to you?

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐲!

The inaugural #𝗚𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗗𝗮𝘆 brought together girls, mentors and leaders in a powerful celebration of leadership, learning and opportunity.

Through workplace exposure and mentorship with UNDP Malawi, UNICEF Malawi, UNFPA Malawi, UN Women Malawi and the United Nations Malawi Resident Coordinator’s Office, learners from schools in Lilongwe gained valuable insights into leadership, different career pathways and the possibilities ahead.

More importantly, they had the opportunity to ask questions, share their aspirations and see that their voices and ideas matter.

When girls are given the opportunity to learn, lead and be heard, they can shape the future they want.

Thank you to all the partners, mentors, teachers and girls who made this first Girls Takeover Day a success.

You don't need an official office or a large budget to make a difference in your community.

Across Malawi, youth clubs, peer educators, and community volunteers gather under trees and in school halls every week to educate peers on sexual and reproductive health, prevent gender-based violence, and support back-to-school drives.

You are the heartbeat of local progress. Are you part of a youth club or group?
