Youth and Community Development formerly Nkhotakota Youth Organisation was founded in November 1997. The organization was founded by a group of concerned youth who, at the time, were deeply displeased with the perpetual legacy of marginalization of young people and women in mainstreaming development policy and practice in Malawi and Nkhotakota District in particular.
With the emergence of a robust civil society, particularly subsequent to democratisation of Malawi’s political system, the distraught but resolute youth capitalized on the changing status quo and formed an organization whose mandate was to provide space for youth activism, promote youth and women’s role and visibility in local development and help in the fight against emerging health problems such as HIV/AIDS
To advance the rights and wellbeing of children, youth, and women by strengthening communities, promoting accountability, and fostering equality, health, and sustainable livelihoods.
A just, inclusive, and sustainable society where youth and women realize their rights, contribute productively to the economy, and actively shape governance and development.
The YouthCode’s core values will guide the organization’s culture, decision-making processes, and engagement with communities and collaborating partners. These values reflect the organization’s commitment to ethical practice, inclusive development, and a lasting impact on the lives of youth, women, and children.
