NATICC Strengthens Community Partnerships Through Maseyiseni Stakeholder Engagement

NATICC yesterday joined key stakeholders at a stakeholder meeting held at Maseyiseni Inkhundla, aimed at providing updates on ongoing projects, introducing new interventions, and strengthening collaboration between development partners and the Constituency Council.

The meeting brought together NATICC, Eswatini National Youth Council (ENYC), Young Heroes, Eswatini Water and Agricultural Development Enterprise - EWADE, Sebenta National Institute and Microprojects Programme Micro-Projects, with each organisation unpacking the services it provides and sharing information on current and upcoming projects within the community.

The stakeholders also highlighted areas where the Constituency Council could support their work, particularly through community mobilisation, coordination and strengthening linkages with local structures.

Representing NATICC, Social Worker Ms Gugu Mavimbela presented the organisationโ€™s services before introducing the UNESCO-supported project being implemented through Civil Society Organisations in selected communities, including Zombodze and Gege.

The project seeks to strengthen education and community systems that protect children and adolescents from gender-based violence (GBV), early and unintended pregnancies (EUP), child marriage, and harmful social and gender norms that negatively affect their rights, wellbeing and educational attainment.

Through the intervention, NATICC will work closely with traditional leaders, Inner Councils, parents, teachers, schools and community members to strengthen child protection mechanisms, promote positive parenting, encourage meaningful dialogue on GBV, EUP and child marriage, and support safe and protective learning environments.

The project also promotes access to Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) and Life Skills Education (LSE), while addressing the social and gender norms that can contribute to violence, inequality, school absenteeism and dropout.

The engagement at Maseyiseni forms part of the projectโ€™s inception and partnership-building activities, laying the foundation for coordinated implementation and stronger community ownership.

The Constituency Council welcomed the project and expressed its appreciation for the intervention. The Council further assured NATICC of its support in mobilising community members to participate in upcoming dialogues, creating an important platform for communities to collectively discuss challenges affecting children and adolescents and identify locally driven solutions.

Through continued collaboration with community structures and other stakeholders, NATICC remains committed to strengthening protective environments where children and adolescents can remain in school, access quality education, be protected from violence, and make informed decisions about their futures.

NATICC ESTABLISHES CHILD-LED ADVISORY BOARD TO STRENGTHEN SURVIVOR-CENTRED PROGRAMMING

Nhlangano, Eswatini โ€” What happens when young people are not only invited to participate, but are entrusted to help shape programmes that affect their lives?

For NATICC, it is a step towards putting the best interests of the child at the heart of programming.

On Saturday, 8th August 2026, NATICC has reached a significant milestone in strengthening survivor-centred programming with the establishment of a Child-Led Advisory Board (CLAB), anchored in meaningful child participation and creating a structured platform for young people to contribute to decisions that affect child protection, wellbeing and access to support services. Members of the newly established Child-Led Advisory Board (CLAB) were formally inducted and capacitated to contribute to the governance, accountability and responsiveness of child protection programming.

Opening the induction, NATICC Executive Director Mr Sisekelo Nzima described the members as โ€œesteemed membersโ€, recognising the values and skills they bring to child-focused programming.

โ€œWe need people who will have special skills in assisting with programming involving children,โ€ Mr Nzima said, highlighting the importance of having their perspectives reflected in planning, reporting and child advocacy.

He explained that CLAB members were appointed based on the values they bring, rather than through voting, and will have their own sittings where they can discuss issues affecting children, provide recommendations and contribute to programme improvement.

The Board will be oriented on its responsibilities, ways of working and expectations, with its mandate covering child protection and survivor support, programme reviews, barriers to accessing services, monitoring and feedback.

PUTTING CHILDREN'S BEST INTERESTS FIRST
The CLAB model is built on the principle that children's views should be heard and considered while protecting their safety, dignity, privacy and wellbeing.

NATICC Social Worker, Ms Sisana Mngometulu, capacitated members on Safeguarding and Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), reinforcing the importance of safe and respectful participation.

NATICC Program Manager, Mr Kenneth Makhanya, further unpacked the Board's Terms of Reference, including its strategic, operational and capacity-building objectives.

Through Monitoring and Evaluation, CLAB members will also help ensure that young people's feedback contributes to organisational learning and better programming:
LISTEN โ†’ LEARN โ†’ RECOMMEND โ†’ ACT โ†’ IMPROVE

Mr Nzima congratulated the new members and expressed appreciation to parents and guardians for consenting to their participation, wishing them well as they begin this important journey.

Ultimately, CLAB is about more than giving young people a seat at the table. It is about creating safe spaces where their perspectives can contribute to better, safer and more responsive programmesโ€”always guided by the best interests of the child.

A SEAT AT THE TABLE. A VOICE IN THE DECISION. A ROLE IN THE CHANGE.

With the Child-Led Advisory Board, NATICC is strengthening a model of participation where young people are not viewed only as beneficiaries, but as contributors to knowledge, partners in learning and participants in shaping the programmes that affect their lives.

OVER 110 COMMUNITY MEMBERS ACCESS CIVIL REGISTRATION SERVICES THROUGH NATICC OUTREACH

Matsanjeni South, Eswatini โ€“ More than 110 community members from Kwaluseni Chiefdom under Matsanjeni South Inkhundla accessed essential civil registration services today during the launch of a community outreach campaign led by NATICC in partnership with the Births, Marriages and Deaths (BMD) Department.

The outreach marks a significant milestone in addressing one of the key challenges consistently raised during NATICCโ€™s community dialogues across the constituencyโ€”many children and adults were living without vital civil registration documents such as birth and marriage certificates.

In response to these concerns, NATICC partnered with BMD to bring the services directly to communities, eliminating barriers that have prevented many families from accessing legal identity documentation. Community members turned out in large numbers to apply for birth certificates and marriage certificates, demonstrating the urgent need for these services.

The outreach campaign is expected to benefit communities across six chiefdoms in Matsanjeni South, ensuring that more people gain access to legal identity documents that are essential for education, healthcare, employment, social protection, and the enjoyment of fundamental rights.

This initiative represents more than just service deliveryโ€”it is a transformative step towards ensuring that no one is left behind. By listening to communities and working collaboratively with government partners, NATICC continues to translate community voices into meaningful action.

Upcoming Civil Registration Outreach Schedule

12 August 2026 โ€“ Nkonka
19 August 2026 โ€“ Qomintaba
26 August 2026 โ€“ Bambitje
2 September 2026 โ€“ Nsalitje
9 September 2026 โ€“ Dinabanye

NATICC encourages all community members who require birth or marriage registration services to attend the outreach in their respective chiefdoms and take advantage of this important opportunity to obtain their legal documentation.

Every child deserves protection, but every parent also deserves the right information.

Today, NATICC engaged parents and guardians from Dinabanye Chiefdom under Matsanjeni South Inkhundla in a Parentsโ€™ Dialogue aimed at strengthening understanding of the Childrenโ€™s Protection and Welfare Act (CPWA).

The dialogue addressed growing misconceptions where some children misunderstand their rights and mistakenly believe that any form of parental discipline can lead to their parents being arrested. Through an interactive session facilitated by Prevention Officer Ms Khulile Tsabedze, parents were empowered on key provisions of the CPWA, including childrenโ€™s rights and responsibilities, parental duties, child maintenance, and the protection and welfare of every child.

Participants also raised important questions on child care where parents are absent, access to children after separation, and other child protection matters, all of which were addressed during the discussion.

The community expressed appreciation for the informative session and was also encouraged to make use of the ongoing Birth Certificate outreach services available through NATICCโ€™s partnership with the Births, Marriages and Deaths Department, ensuring that every child has access to their legal identity and the rights that come with it.

Together, we can build safer families and stronger communities through knowledge, dialogue and shared responsibility.

Today, NATICC conducted an Out-of-School Youth Dialogue at Gege Inkhundla, bringing together young people, government institutions, development partners and service providers to connect youth with opportunities for skills development, entrepreneurship, vocational training, funding support and empowerment programmes.

The dialogue created a platform where young people engaged with key stakeholders, including NISTC, Eswatini National Youth Council (ENYC), YOMA Project, STREEC, MAIS Africa, Youth Enterprise Revolving Fund (YERF), Regional Development Fund (RDF), Nhlangano Vocational Institution and NAMBOARD, who shared information on available opportunities in entrepreneurship, agribusiness, skills development and access to finance.

Officially opening the dialogue, NATICC Executive Director Mr Sisekelo Nzima encouraged young people to invest in market-relevant skills, build strong networks and take advantage of opportunities available to them. He urged youth to embrace entrepreneurship, innovation and continuous learning as pathways towards economic independence.

A key highlight of the event was a powerful mindset transformation session by Dr Mkhonta from NISTC, who shared the Six Principles of the Life of an Eagle. Using the eagle as a symbol of resilience and excellence, young people were encouraged to develop a clear vision, rise above challenges, embrace change, surround themselves with positive influences and take responsibility for creating their own opportunities.

The programme also included a Gender-Based Violence (GBV) awareness session facilitated by Ms Lungelwa Simelane, a Social Worker under the Deputy Prime Ministerโ€™s Office (Gege DSW), emphasising the important role young people play in promoting respectful relationships, accountability and peaceful communities.

Closing the dialogue, Hon. Agreppa Magesi Dlamini, Member of Parliament for Gege Inkhundla, applauded NATICC and partners for bringing vital opportunities closer to young people and encouraged participants to turn knowledge gained into action.

Through initiatives such as the Out-of-School Youth Dialogue, NATICC continues to empower young people with the knowledge, skills and connections needed to overcome unemployment, prevent violence and build sustainable futures.
