23 January 2018

Crossroads Hotel, Lilongwe

 

18/01/2018- The Development Centre of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Delegation of the European Union (DEU) to the Republic of Malawi, and the Ministry of Labour, Youth, Sports and Manpower Development (MoLYSMD) of the Republic of Malawi will host a joint event on the occasion of the presentation of a new report on Malawi’s youth well-being.

The Youth Well-Being Policy Review of Malawi provides an in-depth analysis of the situation of Malawian youth. It also describes key youth policies and programmes in Malawi and the relevance and effectiveness of Malawi’s technical, entrepreneurial and vocational education and training (TEVET) system to improve youth employment outcomes.

The report aims to support the government in assessing the situation of the country’s youth using a multi-dimensional approach, and to provide recommendations to address major policy gaps in youth well-being.

The Youth Inclusion project is part of the work of the Development Centre on inclusive societies and aims to support countries in finding innovative solutions to social challenges and to build more cohesive societies. The project covers eight other countries: Cambodia, Côte d’Ivoire, El Salvador,  Jordan, Moldova, Peru, Togo and Viet Nam.
