Timothy Munthali is a Shadow Participant of James Gondwe. James is one of the Core participants of the African Initiative. Timothy is based in Malawi. He is a social worker currently working with Centre for Youth and Development as a resource centre coordinator is a devoted Christian and passionate working with children, young people and women.

My job’s main objective is to effectively harness the potential of the youth and equip them with knowledge and skills necessary for their full participation in the social, cultural, economic and political development of the country. The areas of focus are on skills training for self-employment, preventative health services, and provision of recreational facilities.

I also empower the youth by creating new opportunities for self-reliance by providing end user computing courses service which runs in cohorts. We have also a library which helps the youths access the information they need.

Apart from the above I oversee a youth hub which has 54 youth members around Mzuzu and has its own committee. The youth hub provides different services to the country like awareness campaigns, training on life skills, talent displays, physical exercises, helps the needy, capacity building for the youths, theatre for development.

I joined a network of youth who work towards achieving sustainable development goals, respect of rule of law, good governance and inclusion of youths in local government structures.
