The Youth Empowerment for Climate Change Solutions Project is a partnership between DAPP Zimbabwe and DAPP Malawi aimed at addressing climate change through knowledge exchange programs. This initiative is rooted in the need to equip youth with climate-resilient agricultural skills, building upon the Farmers’ Clubs model. The goal is to empower young people to become agents of change in their communities, promoting sustainable agricultural practices and contributing to a more food-secure future.
A key component of the project is the international exchange of employees from DAPP Zimbabwe and DAPP Malawi, which promotes global learning, mutual learning and capacity building. This exchange program facilitates knowledge sharing and knowledge exchange, enabling participants to learn from each other's experiences and best practices. Each year, employees from both countries are exchanged to learn and become agents of change, helping to build resilience within rural communities.
hroughout the project, participants develop practical skills in advocacy and community mobilisation, enabling them to effectively engage with all stakeholders. Together, they co-design strategies to tackle the challenges faced by rural communities, fostering cross-cultural dialogue that encourages innovation and inspires meaningful change. The project is funded by the Norwegian Agency for Exchange Cooperation (NOREC) and runs from August 2025 to September 2027.
