“Youth empowerment is vital for the country’s development in the 21st century. We encourage education stakeholders to join hands in tackling sexual and reproductive health, HIV prevention, gender equality and climate change issues,” said Bukelwa Ntlabati, the MIET AFRICA FutureLife-Now! (FLN) Country Manager.

She was addressing participants at an integrated service delivery jamboree held recently at Bwaila Secondary School in Lilongwe, Malawi.

The jamboree was hosted by the Malawi Ministry of Education Science and Technology in coordination with MIET AFRICA, with the aim of cementing partnerships among local and international organisations that implement education programmes, as well as to advocate for the FLN programme. The day also gave service providers an opportunity to exhibit and  give information on the services they offer to the communities and the public, such as HTC services.

Representatives from 16 Member States attended the meeting to discuss the relationship between CSTL, FutureLife-Now! and the Children’s Participation Framework as a strategic framework for accelerating sustainable development in the SADC Region. It also provided an opportunity for Member States to be inducted on the new SADC FutureLife-Now! programme, and offered a forum for sharing challenges, good practices, lessons learnt and policy or programme recommendations related to HIV&AIDS, SRHR and ART adherence.
