Mkandawire: The situation is sad

Speaking during the meeting, one of the participants Catherine Mkandawire, who is chairperson for Nkhata Bay Youth Network, said in most village and area development committees (VDCs and ADCs) in the Northern Region, young people who represent their constituency suffer oppression as their input is ignored.

A random survey among young leaders at the conference confirmed that oppression and exclusion were common in many development committees.

Chairperson for Mkhumba VDC in Phalombe, Maxwell Piriminta, said it was important for all development structures to listen to young people in their areas.

Department of Youth principal youth officer Deus Lupenga, said youths should be encouraged to participate in development activities in their areas.

The two day National Youth Conference was held under the theme Reflect and Act for Improved Youth Participation and Leadership.
