Strengthening Comprehensive Sexuality Education in Malawi

Empowering trainers today for a more informed generation tomorrow.

Effective Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) begins with well-equipped trainers and relevant, inclusive training materials that respond to the needs of young people.

From 19–20 October, CYECE, UNESCO’s Our Rights, Our Lives, Our Future initiative, the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (MUBAS), and partners convened a two-day review of the Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) Training Manual at Crossroads Hotel in Lilongwe.

The meeting brought together key stakeholders and CSE trainers to review training modules, share field experiences, identify content gaps, and recommend improvements to strengthen the delivery of CSE in Malawi.

The Malawi SRHR Alliance was in attendance, contributing to the collective efforts to strengthen CSE through practical experiences, expert input, and evidence-informed recommendations. The discussions focused on ensuring that the manual is relevant, inclusive, and responsive to the realities faced by trainers and young people.

A strengthened training manual will help equip CSE trainers with the knowledge and resources needed to deliver effective sexuality education, empowering young people to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health and rights and contribute to healthier communities.
