The Inclusive Digital Transformation for Malawi (IDT4M) project is a UNDP initiative aimed at bridging the digital divide in Malawi through provision of digital skills free of charge. UNIMA, through the Computing Department, is one of the implementing partners of this project since 2024. One of the main beneficiaries have been communities surrounding the university in Zomba.
In late 2024, youth from local schools were trained in Microsoft tools. This initiative prepared them for university and future careers. Other youths were taught ICT fundamentals for entrepreneurial pursuits.
In 2025, partnerships with YODEP and Young Life led to youth training. Sessions in Liwonde and Zomba covered ICT, Android, and online safety. Participants also learned Canva for business and personal branding.
