Speaking with reporters, Senior Research Fellow Development Strategy and Governance Division Dr Kristin Davis said that despite the issue of lack of markets, there is a need to support the youth with finance as a capital because skills alone cannot work on its own.<\/p>\n

Davis added that lack of finance has been a major challenge among the youth due to in access of loans living the youth with no options to use. \u201cThere is a great opportunity for the youths out there all what is needed to focus on the mindset change. We want to work together with other stakeholders and partners to come up with interventions that can support the young people in agribusiness,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

On his part, Coordinator Chairperson for activities and Initiatives in Malawi Ggenga Akinwale said that they are supporting the youths in Agripreneurship so that they can create job opportunities.<\/p>\n

Akinwale noted that Malawi can tap into its agriculture potential, economic growth as a way of alleviating poverty and creating a dynamic innovating agricultural landscape.<\/p>\n

Director of Program at National Youth Council of Malawi Williot Joaquim Lumbe said that they are looking into policies that can enable a lot of youths to be involved in all the agricultural activities.<\/p>\n

The program is being conducted by Ukama Ustawi which supports climate\u2013smart agriculture and livelihoods in East and Southern Africa and is working towards fostering youth agripreneurship in Malawi. Ukama Ustawi is led by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), in partnership with several other CGIAR organizations.<\/p>\n
