Malawi\u2019s unemployment rate of over five percent is considered one of the highest in Africa where job creation has stalled due to effects of Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The virus has snowballed job losses leading to loss of incomes and with it drastic cuts in consumer spending patterns as economies take the hit. \u201cWe at the Youth Council are very happy because this partnership is going to create thousands of jobs as youth unemployment has reached epic proportions in this country,\u201d said Jere.<\/p>\n<p>He said the agreement has come at the right time when TNM has launched the Mudzi Wathu initiative which will create a medium to transform young people\u2019s mindset to embrace mobile network technology as the catalyst for economic growth in communities.<\/p>\n<p>TNM Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Arnold Mbwana said under the partnership TNM will support NYCoM in the running of youth economic empowerment programs across the country through the Youth Innovation Fund.<\/p>\n<p>Mbwana said it will further help increase access by the youth to affordable and youth friendly financial and digital services through TNM Mpamba and other products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe partnership will facilitate creation of TNM Mpamba branches by youth organisations and clubs under the National Youth Council of Malawi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, this will see the establishment of TNM Mpamba branches and kiosks across country to enhance financial inclusion, and stability,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The MoU is for a period of five years and subject of review after every two years. During the period, outstanding young people in various communities will be recognized for their contribution in local development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
