The Youth for Action Campaign (YAC) has begun strengthening its internal governance structures as it evaluates progress made on several youth-focused interventions carried out in recent months.
The organisation held a capacity-building session for its board members in Mzuzu, aimed at clarifying leadership roles and improving operational efficiency.
During the training, YAC Executive Director Jackson Caesar Msiska stressed the importance of board members understanding the organisation’s mission and the responsibilities tied to their positions.
Msiska noted that one of YAC’s key recent activities involved promoting youth participation in elections through civic education and election monitoring.
He explained that the project was designed to encourage young people to engage meaningfully in democratic processes and exercise their right to vote responsibly.
Board chairperson Bishop Steven Chisale of the Holy Ghost Pentecostal Church urged financial institutions to widen access to loans for young people.
Chisale appealed to the youth to organise themselves better and present well-developed proposals that can attract financial support and foster entrepreneurship.
He emphasised that meaningful economic empowerment begins with youth being proactive and prepared to seize available opportunities.
