As YSD continues to engage communities across northern region, participants explored how YSD Mudzi Wophelera ku Nyengo Hubs can be effectively organised and managed, with clear roles, responsibilities and decision-making processes that ensure women, young people and other community members have meaningful opportunities to participate and contribute.

The session also highlighted the importance of transparent leadership, collective planning, accountability and community ownership in ensuring that the hubs remain active spaces for learning, coordination and locally driven climate action.

Through the Mudzi Wophelera Ku Nyengo Hub model, communities are not waiting for solutions to come from outside. They are building their own structures, strengthening local leadership and taking collective action to address the challenges affecting their livelihoods and environment.

BUILDING RESILIENCE, LED BY COMMUNITIES

Climate change is placing growing pressure on livelihoods, farming systems, and natural resources.

YSD continues to work with communities most affected through participatory workshops that turn local knowledge and lived experiences into practical climate solutions.

Through the Mudzi Ophelera Ku Nyengo Hub – Community Climate Resilience Model, communities are identifying priorities, co-creating solutions, strengthening livelihoods, and building resilience for the future.

When communities lead, solutions become locally owned and more sustainable.

The Youth for Environment and Sustainable Development (YSD) teams from Germany and Malawi in it's exchange project, held a collaborative workshop in Mzuzu District over the past weekend, focusing on developing innovative project ideas on environmental sustainability which will be implemented simultaneously in Malawi and Germany. The project forms part of YSD’s Climate Resilience Model Schools Programme, which aims to strengthen the capacity of vulnerable schools in Malawi to withstand and adapt to climate change shocks.

The workshop, which ran from April 24 to April 26, 2026, brought together young people from both countries to share knowledge, experiences, and perspectives on pressing environmental challenges and innovative solutions to tackle these challenges.

During the sessions, the teams successfully developed two project concepts aimed at addressing key issues affecting their respective communities. These ideas were informed by local challenges, particularly in areas related to climate change, waste management, and nutrition.

Beyond project development, the workshop provided a platform for learning, collaboration, and cultural exchange, strengthening bonds among participants while fostering a shared commitment to sustainable development and climate justice.

The Malawi team was more than ready for today's exchange meeting with the German team!

The German team also delivered. We kicked things off with a deep dive into nutrition and sustainability. We discussed about what we eat ,where we get it from and how is it produced and linking nutrition and sustainability in Malawi and Germany getting an insight and perspective of the two teams in environmental impact

The discussion was productive, and we're stoked about the progress we're making. Looking forward to seeing where this collaboration takes us and exploring more topics together.
