A groundbreaking digital Town Hall forum, exclusively designed for Malawian youth, is currently underway on X Spaces and Facebook.
This virtual engagement has drawn an overwhelming response, with over 5,000 viewers tuning in to participate in what is expected to be a pivotal conversation with President Lazarus Chakwera.
The forum, a first of its kind under the Chakwera administration, seeks to create an interactive platform where young Malawians can directly engage with the President on key developmental issues.
With the government rolling out an ambitious plan comprising 500 development projects, this initiative provides an opportunity for the youth to gain firsthand insights into these plans and explore ways in which they can actively contribute.
President Chakwera is expected to outline the objectives, timelines, and impact of these projects, shedding light on the government’s strategy for economic growth, job creation, and infrastructure development.
Recognizing the youth as the backbone of the nation, the President aims to encourage young people to take an active role in shaping Malawi’s future through entrepreneurship, innovation, and civic engagement.
Throughout the session, participants will have the chance to ask questions, share ideas, and seek clarity on issues affecting their communities.
The discussion is anticipated to cover various sectors, including agriculture, education, technology, and industrialization, all of which are central to the government’s development agenda.
The digital town hall is a significant step toward inclusive governance, demonstrating President Chakwera’s commitment to fostering transparency and youth involvement in decision-making processes.
By leveraging digital platforms, the administration ensures that even those in remote areas have a voice in shaping policies that impact their lives.
As the engagement unfolds, Malawians are eagerly waiting to see how the discussions will translate into tangible action.
The success of this forum could pave the way for more frequent and dynamic interactions between the government and the youth, solidifying digital spaces as powerful tools for national dialogue and progress.
