British Council
The British Council is the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities. We work with over 100 countries in the fields of Arts and culture, English language, and education drawing on an intimate understanding of local contexts and contributing to achieving positive change, particularly for young people.In Malawi our focus is education and skills – enabling young people build the capability to create resilient pathways to better life prospects and more broadly helping to tackle Malawi’s unemployment challenge. These challenges are becoming increasingly acute due to Malawi’s youthful population. There is need for the rapid expansion of work opportunities and the development of skills to attain and create jobs. Better alignment of training to support the growth of the emerging labour market therefore makes the enhancement of Technical, Entrepreneurial and Vocational Education and Training (TEVET) in Malawi.
