Country Strategy Paper to tackle economic and climate injustices

The Transforming Systems for Social Justice (2024-2028)Country Strategy outlines ActionAid Malawi’s commitment to addressing economic and climate injustices in the country.
The launch will be officiated by Honourable Jean Muonaowauza Sendeza M.P., Minister of Gender, Community Development and Social Welfare. The event will attract distinguished guests from government, development partners, Non-Governmental Organisations, social movements, the private sector, faith community, local partners, media fraternity and the public.
ActionAid Malawi Executive Director, Yandura Chipeta, says that the new strategy which will be implemented from 2024 to 2028, seeks to advance social justice, gender equality and the eradication of poverty.
“After thorough consultations and a rigorous development process, ActionAid Malawi has identified three priority areas that directly respond to the complex challenges facing our society. These priorities are: attaining the rights of women, young women, and girls; securing systems change for economic justice and ensuring climate justice, resilient livelihoods, and effective humanitarian work.
”With the unwavering support from government, development partners and stakeholders, we are confident that CSP VI will guide our efforts to inspire transformative change in our communities as we strive to achieve the aspirations of Malawians enshrined in Malawi 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals,” says Chipeta.
The new strategy builds upon the achievements of CSP V titled Action for Social Justice, which was implemented from 2018. Under CSP VI, ActionAid Malawi plans to invest MWK 38 billion to realise its strategic objectives and deliver on its commitment to social justice.
