to conduct a Voluntary National Review
(VNR) and present its findings at the
2022 High-Level Political Forum (HLPF).
This VNR aims to assess the progress
made on all the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) and identify the key action
required to accelerate the implementation
and achievement of the SDGs on which
Malawi is lagging behind. Further, the VNR
will facilitate the sharing of experiences,
including the successes, challenges and
lessons learned, with a view to accelerating
the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
Malawi has a youthful population with more
than half of its population being between 10
and 35 years old. The youth are key actors
in environmental, educational, political,
and economic change. Several youth
programmes are being pursued to ensure
that the country benefits from demographic
dividends in its quest to achieve inclusive
wealth creation and self-reliance.
