ActionAid Malawi

The ActionAid Malawi Board of Directors is pleased to inform its valued partners, the media and the general public of the appointment of Ms. Yandura Chipeta as Executive Director effective 22nd April 2024.

It was a powerful #ClimateJustice day in Lilongwe as youth movements, civil society organizations, and representatives of frontline communities marched to the Parliament of Malawi, demanding urgent action on the escalating climate crisis.

It is the #InternationalWomensMonth, and we are proud to continue to contribute towards the attainment of social justice and Malawi 2063 by putting women, young women and girls at the centre of our interventions across all key sectors of the country. #LimodziTingathe

As the @IMFNews & @WorldBank concluded their annual meets over the weekend, ActionAid finds it mind-boggling that the IMF continues to promote public wage bill cuts as a way to create space for social spending. The IMF must abandon its failed austerity playbook.

In line with our commitment to advancing social justice, gender equality, and poverty eradication, this week we are holding our Mid-Year Program Review and the 2026 Annual Planning Workshop. These are two critical moments in our journey of accountability and transformation.

A #JustTransition towards #climatejusticee is only possible when young people are empowered to take the lead. Youth-led organizations hold the innovation, energy, and vision to drive lasting change through agroecology and the creation of green jobs.

The growing public debt is deepening the climate crisis & the climate crisis is worsening debt. It’s a vicious cycle trapping vulnerable nations and communities. It’s time to #DrawTheLine Climate vulnerable communities need grants and not loans for a #JustTransition

For climate justice to become a reality, there is need to #DrawAline and take a BOLD shift to a #JustTransition including adopting renewable energy to ensure a sustainable future for ALL #ClimateJusticeNow

We are demanding a #JustTransition, a bold shift away from dirty fossil fuels towards renewable energy that protects our planet, creates decent green jobs %secures the future of our communities. This struggle is about more than climate; it is about justice, equity, and survival.

Join us tomorrow, 11th June, 2025 as we launch our latest report exposing how public spending cuts across 6 African countries are undermining essential healthcare & education services with devastating consequences for frontline workers and communities, especially women & girls.
