What works? In what context?
Under what circumstances? Why?

Theย Lessonsย Book Series brings together โ€™s decade of work across public service, international development, entrepreneurship, technology, and systems thinking.

Across seven volumes, the series examines why good intentions often fail, why institutions struggle to learn, and what it may take to build better systems.

We often ask:

Perhaps we should also ask:

Mentorship is widely recognised as one of the most effective approaches to leadership and career development. Yet emerging research suggests that mentoring relationships are far more reciprocal than they are often portrayed.

Studies have found that mentors themselves report increased confidence, stronger leadership capability, renewed purpose, and greater job satisfaction. Research also shows that 89% of people who have been mentored later become mentors themselves, creating a multiplier effect across organisations and communities.

This idea became one of the core reflections in the latest episode of The Leadership Lab: Leadership in the Digital Age, where joined Dr. to explore leadership, mentorship, and professional growth in a rapidly changing world.

The conversation examines mentorship not as a one-way transfer of knowledge, but as a two-way investmentโ€”drawing on research, leadership literature, and the evolving practice of reverse mentoring.

In late October 2025, the government of ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™ก๐™–๐™ฌ๐™ž โ€” under President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika โ€” declared a โ€œstate of disasterโ€ for 11 of its 28 districts, responding to an assessment by the Malawi Vulnerability Assessment Committee (MVAC) that projected roughly 4 million people (around 22% of the population) would face acute food insecurity in the 2025/26 lean season (Octoberโ€“March).

As conditions worsened, by mid-November the disaster declaration was extended to cover ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿด ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€, underlining the breadth of the crisis.

On this , we invite you to learn more about why humanitarian supportโ€”and specifically tools like the United Nations Global Emergency Response Fundโ€”matter for food systems, climate resilience, and the future of Africa: https://nthafoundation.org/mw-unocha-2025/
