World Malaria Day 2022 | Harnessing Innovation To Reduce The Malaria Disease Burden And Save Lives.

World Malaria Day (WMD) is an international observance commemorated every year on the 25th of April. It is a day set aside to recognize the global efforts in combating Malaria. WMD, first observed in 2008, evolved out of Africa Malaria Day, which had been observed annually since 2001, when African Leaders meeting under the auspices of the African Union signed the Abuja Declaration, committing to step-up efforts in fighting and eradicating Malaria in Africa. The theme for World Malaria Day 2022 is to harness innovation to reduce the malaria disease burden and save lives.

Youth Innovations That Are Transforming Food Systems In Africa

The Youth Café looks forward to commemorate The International Youth Day especially because this years theme “Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human and Planetary Health” coincides with one of our key thematic areas outlined in our Theory of Change, ‘Environmental Preservation and Climate Change’, where the focus is on increasing climate change literacy programs, advocacy for the creation of more green jobs, and creation of a collaborative platform where young people can actively engage and participate in finding solutions to the environmental challenges such as increased investment in the blue economy.

African Youth As Drivers Of Decent Job Creation In Sustainable Food Systems

Although youths who are situated in farming communities have some, if not all resources at hand for the production of food, more still needs to be done in the development of youth farming. A high population of global youth are found in Africa and Asia and through increased urbanization, the act of food growing in these areas leaves food security and nutrition in jeopardy. According to reports from the World Bank, the share in food manufacturing and services is on the increase. The inclusion of women and youth into food systems can raise productivity and improve social peace, which as a result makes the migration to urban areas or even developed counties, a choice instead of a necessity.
