YASD Welcomes IM Swedish Development Partners General Secretary

On June 23, 2025, Youth Action for Success and Development (YASD) welcomed a high-level team from IM Swedish Development Partners to its offices in Area 25, Lilongwe. The delegation was led by Gabriella Fredriksson, Secretary General of IM, and Andreas Ulfsax, Regional Partnership and Resource Mobilization Advisor, along with other team members from IM Malawi.

The purpose of the visit was to meet with the YASD team and review progress on the LOGIC (Local Green Innovation Champions) Project. This project helps young people and women learn green skills like climate-smart farming and starting eco-friendly businesses.

The IM team was impressed by YASD’s youth-led approach and strong work in local communities. They praised the organization for creating practical solutions to problems like youth unemployment, poverty, and environmental damage.

The visit came as YASD begins the 2025 extension of the LOGIC Project. This new phase includes training in agroecological farming, making natural pesticides, and other green practices to help communities respond to climate change and improve their income.

YASD and IM have been working together since the early days of the LOGIC Project. Their partnership is built on shared values—local leadership, inclusion, and long-term sustainability. Together, they continue to support young people across Malawi to become leaders and changemakers.

YASD is excited to build on this momentum and reach more communities with homegrown solutions that can also inspire the world.
