Evidence Based

From reimagining public policy to building stakeholder coalitions, our work is grounded in rigorous research, lived experience, and the belief that young people hold the keys to Malawi 2063. 

Researching Policy

We conduct data-driven studies that challenge the status quo and inform smarter governance. Our work bridges academia, policy, and the everyday realities of Malawians.

Empowering Youth

We’re not just including youth—we’re led by them. Through mentorship, training, and national dialogues, we amplify young voices at every decision-making table.

Innovating Solutions

We translate research into bold, actionable policies and pilot programs that tackle Malawi’s biggest challenges—sustainably and creatively.

Global Supporters

At Malawi Wathu, we believe youth must be at the center of Malawi’s development agenda. Hear from some of the world’s leading partners in international development as they share their reflections on the power of youth-led innovation, policy, and transformation. 

I look forward to engaging young innovators through Malawi Wathu and exploring how youth-led policy thinking can shape inclusive national development. Empowering young Malawians to lead in data-driven advocacy is essential to building a more resilient and prosperous future.

The launch of Malawi Wathu as a youth think tank signals a new era of inclusive policy innovation. Initiatives like these are crucial to ensuring that Africa’s largest population group—its youth—are directly involved in shaping the policies that define their future.
