Malawi’s Youth Intelligence Platform
Mlenje connects youth, employers, district councils and development partners through a unified digital ecosystem for employment, participation and evidence-based decision-making. Building on Mlenje's existing opportunity platform, the Youth Intelligence layer enables institutions to better understand needs, coordinate programmes and measure outcomes using trusted, aggregated insights.
The ecosystem, at a glance.
Aggregated, anonymised ecosystem statistics from across the Mlenje platform. Individual users and organisations are never identifiable from this view.
